Miles - Black Exterior - Black Interior - T Tops - Working AC In
1979, the Corvette remained an American sports car mainstay, while
in the same year, Sony introduced the revolutionary Walkman, and
consumers were introduced to Honey Nut Cheerios. While adults were
jumping at the chance to own a Corvette, kids were introduced to
McDonald's first Happy Meals, and fans were clamoring for a copy of
Michael Jackson's new album Off The Wall. When the 1979 Corvette
hit showrooms, it remained a clean, sleek sports car with the same
basic shape as the Corvettes of the very early C3 Generation. The
early C3 Generation cars had a number of differences, with the most
prominent being the chrome bumpers front and rear. While this car
doesn't have the extra chrome trim, it represents the change from
lots of chrome, to color matched bumpers which gave the Corvette a
slightly smoother look. We are happy to offer this black on black
1979 Corvette for your consideration. Taking a glance at the car
makes it apparent that it has been well cared for over the years.
Sleek black paint over a black interior, alloy wheels, T-tops, and
an automatic transmission are just a few of the highlights of this
car. Shiny black cars always look great when cleaned up, and this
car is no different. Muscular sleek shape of the , you can't help
but to take a good look at it and really examine the lines the
whole length of the car. With that tidbit of information, you can
see in our many pictures that the paint does look a little shaky in
a few spots. Blemishes can be seen when looking up close at the
car. Speaking of paint, the T-tops are not glass as can be seen in
later Corvette Generations, but hey you still have versatility, and
who can resist taking the T-tops off and taking a cruise? Alloy
slotted wheels are in great condition, and are wrapped in Cooper
Cobra white letter tires. As you would expect in a Corvette, black
bucket seats are a focal point of the interior. The interior has
been well kept and features power windows, three spoke steering
wheel, center console mounted auxiliary gauges, and a Sony cassette
player. Unlike the earlier C3 Corvettes, this car has a square
gauge binnacle rather than the individual tachometer and
speedometer gauges. However, the car still gives passengers the
feeling of being wrapped in a special car thanks to the low seating
position. Under the hood is a familiar 350ci V8 mated to a 3 speed
automatic transmission. The VIN having an 8 in the fifth position
decodes as a L48 V8 engine, which is considered the base engine.
However, it was an engine which produced a good amount of torque,
providing drivers enough power to have fun with. Today's world is
much different than the time that this Corvette rolled off the
showroom floor. We walk around today with the equivalent of
computers in our pockets, and struggle to get anything done without
the help of the internet, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a
classic American sports car like this '79 Corvette. Sleek styling,
a V8 under the hood, and T-tops equate to a car that's ready to hit
the road and put a smile on your face. Please call if interested or
e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
