this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this numbers matching 1979
Corvette in spectacular condition with only 26,490 original miles.
This Corvette looks excellent, runs great, and is an amazing
driver. The car is totally solid with excellent lines and no rust
issues. It is finished in the beautiful and highly desirable color
combination of Black (19) over Oyster Leather (122). This is the
correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the
trim tag pictured in this ad.
Besides the correct paint and trim codes, this Corvette is "Numbers
Matching" meaning the engine and transmission in the car are the
correct and original units that were installed in the car new at
the factory in 1979. Virtually every part we checked on the car is
correct with the proper part numbers and appropriate date codes. We
have run the numbers on literally hundreds of Corvettes over the
years and there are very few that are so correct and original. Even
very detailed parts like the distributor, carburetor, alternator,
starter, and even all the windows are all date coded and original.
The last six digits of the VIN, 449389, are stamped on the engine
pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to
the car. The transmission is also original with the last six digits
of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured.
There is a wealth of records original documentation that comes with
the car including the original window sticker, original owner's
manual, warranty booklet showing the original owner's name, 1979 GM
Maintenance Schedule Booklet, 1979 Chevrolet Consumer Information
Booklet, Goodyear Tie Booklet, and some vintage photographs of the
car. Additionally, there are many many receipts from over years for
items like tires, battery, brakes, and other maintenance items. The
receipts total over $5,000 so this car has been well cared for and
well maintained. Also included are many copies of previous odometer
statements, copies of previous titles including the original title
from 1979, and even a copy of the original Manufacturer's
Certificate of Origin. Many of these items have the mileage
recorded at the time and everything shows correct mileage and
verifies that this car has only 26,490 original miles.
This Corvette is ready to be used and enjoyed. We have this car
priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a
clean corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this
car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to
come as the market on C3 Corvettes is very hot right now and on the
rise. The low original mileage is verified not only by the
condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in
this ad, showing the mileage as Actual. Please peruse all of the
photos, video, list of numbers, and other information to get a true
sense of how clean and nice this Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand-pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Black (19) exterior is in excellent condition. As one can see
in the photos the paint has a terrific gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. We have seen no paint lines, overspray, or any other
signs of paintwork or repair and we believe that this car has
original paint. Both doors open and shut nicely. The aluminum
wheels have an amazing finish and look great on the car. The
previous owner went to great effort and great expense to install
the correct and original style raised white letter Goodyear
PolySteel Radials. The tires cost over $1,800. These are the same
exact model tire that was installed on 1979 Corvettes new. The
tires have plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 225/70R15.
Included also are the actual original tires for the car if the
future owner wants them. There are no major imperfections that have
been intentionally excluded from the many photos. As one can see in
the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very clean
underneath. The frame is totally solid with no rust around the "key
hole" area in front of the rear tire and there is no evidence of
corrosion around the windshield frame or "birdcage." We have
included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show
how nice this car looks.
Window Date Codes
Please note that ALL of the glass on this Corvette is date coded
and original, both side windows, the rear window, and even the
windshield all predate the car's body build date of August 24, 1979
(M24). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no
major accident history and never sustained significant damage.
This car looks just as good in person as it does in the photos.
Interior
The Oyster Leather interior in this Corvette is in outstanding
original condition. The seats look excellent with no rips, holes,
or split seams. The seats are not overly worn in typical area on
the bolster where the driver gets in and out. Please note that
these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap
aftermarket covers or replacements. The gauge faces are clean and
crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is in great condition
throughout. The dash and console look awesome with no cracks or sun
fading. The door panels are in great shape overall. The door pulls
are solid and intact. The original 8-track radio sounds good and
the power antenna works as it should. Most importantly the dash has
never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. Please
note that both seat belts retract properly, this is a common
problem that many buyers do not think to check, but is a very
important item. The jack and jack handle are still with the car,
stored correctly behind the passenger seat as seen in the photos.
The original spare is also still with the car and has never been
used. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burn
marks and no aroma of cigarettes. The original T-Tops bags are also
included with the car.
Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well over
the years, especially for a light color like Oyster, and the
excellent condition of this all original interior is a huge
testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has
received throughout its life and another great verification of the
very low original mileage.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The
car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It
drives amazing on the road and at highway speeds. In the video
below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to
about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight,
and going through some curves. Please note that there are no
vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The
transmission feels very good and the shifter is super smooth. The
brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other.
There is a receipt that shows stainless steel sleeved calipers were
installed on the car. The car runs cool and does not overheat. This
Corvette has plenty of power and is quite fast. Also,...for more
information please contact the seller.
