Vehicle Description
1979 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Coupe Why This Car Is Special The
Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by
Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Engines and
chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous
generation, but the body and interior were new. The grey 1979
Chevrolet Corvette custom we have at Skyway Classics saw the return
of the crossed-flag emblems on the nose and fuel door as well as
three popular features introduced on the '78 pace car replicas, the
new bucket seats, the front and rear spoiler package, and the glass
roof panels. Our 79 has seen a restoration with paint and interior,
original wheels, Cooper Cobra tires, custom Greenwood hood, front
and rear upgraded to 81 models, and dual exhaust. Features 1979

and rear spoilers Mechanical The engine in our Vette is the base
350 cubic inch L-48 engine which generated 195 horsepower back
then. Output for all engines increased due to new 'open flow'
mufflers. The engine has chrome valve covers, chrome performance
intake, 4-barrel carb, Mallory performance ignition and
distributor, and Edelbrock chrome air cleaner assembly, air
conditioning, and sits in a nice engine compartment. Our 79 Vette
rides on Cooper Cobra GT Radial tires mounted on the factory
wheels, with a great exhaust note emanating from the true dual
exhaust system tips in the rear. Interior The custom red/black
interior features �€�high back�€� seats with great side bolster and
provide easier access to the rear storage area, and the seat pair
resulted in a weight reduction of about 24 pounds. It has a red
factory dash with all the performance gauges, tilt wheel, red
leather steering wheel, red carpeting and red floor mats, great
stereo system with its AM-FM radio, power windows, power seats,
great matching red door panels, power windows and locks, and the
automatic shifter in the red factory center console. Exterior The
darker grey paint looks great with the custom Greenwood fresh air
hood, and the front and rear upgraded to 81 models. It is a
one-of-a-kind treatment that will attract a lot of conversation
when you are at the car shows. The bolt-on front and rear spoilers
were offered as an option and functionally the spoilers decrease
drag by about 15% and increased fuel economy by about a half-mile
per gallon. The roof T-tops are painted a matching grey body color
also. Conclusion If you are looking for a restored C3 Corvette with
