Vehicle Description
Renowned for its legendary "Coke-Bottle" design, wide range of
engine options, and low-slung profile, the C3 Corvette set the
standard for what a traditional Corvette should look like for
generations to come. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L-82 sticks out
like a sore thumb, with its striking yellow paint and black
accenting as well as its astounding level of originality. Sitting
inside the detailed engine bay is the most powerful engine
available for 1979, a numbers-matching L-82 350 C.I. V8 breathing
through a 4-barrel carburetor. Torque is put to the pavement
through an equally numbers-matching smooth-shifting 3-speed
automatic transmission, which shifts seamlessly as this Corvette
glides down the freeway. And, with 84,580 original miles on the
odometer, this '79 Corvette's got plenty more gliding left to do!
The exterior's signature curvy bodylines are laser-straight, with
flowing contours that make this Corvette seem like it's in motion
even if it's standing still. The fastback rear window works with
the hideaway headlights and flush door handles to give this
Corvette an even more aerodynamic appearance, which works in
conjunction with the sleek front and rear ends. The bright yellow
paint is in excellent condition, buffed to a brilliant shine and
matched up with contrasting black lower accenting to give this
Corvette a seriously sporty appearance. The undercarriage is in
fantastic shape too, with strong floors, frame rails, trunk, and
door jambs. Opening the curved doors and stepping inside reveals a
gorgeous black vinyl interior complete with comfy high-back sport
bucket seats, a full center console, and all of its original
factory equipment, including A/C! As to be expected from a Corvette
in this condition, this one's fully loaded and fully operational!
Options include power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power
windows, power locks, T-Tops, a tilt & telescopic steering wheel,
complete factory A/C, factory gauges & tachometer, an original
AM/FM/Cassette stereo, dual color-matched sport mirrors, and a
mean-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on a
shiny set of 15" Chevrolet chrome rally wheels wrapped with Cooper
Cobra RWL tires for a factory-fresh appearance that makes this
'Vette seem like it drove right out of 1979! With the condition
this Corvette is in, it starts up and runs like a top, guaranteeing
that you'll be smiling every time you're behind the wheel. It can't
wait to get back out on the open road, and it's sure to turn heads
at your next car show!
