For Sale: 1979 Chevrolet Corvette in Statesville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: 350ci V8 with 4-speed manual transmission Edelbrock carburetor, intake, valve covers, and air cleaner Factory L-82 car! Power four-wheel disc brakes & power steering Aluminum radiator Tilt & telescopic steering column Dual sidepipe exhaust for that unmistakable Corvette sound! Electric headlight door conversion BODY OVERVIEW: This Corvette captures all the iconic curves and attitude of the late C3 generation. The body is in solid condition, with clean lines and a stance that still turns heads. This is a car that does not appear to have seen a full restoration, so the underside is in original condition. The electric headlight door conversion is a smart upgrade that adds both reliability and convenience! PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The metallic gray paint is an older repaint, but still carries a deep shine and presents very well overall. There are some minor imperfections and signs of age throughout, but nothing that distracts from the car's striking presence on the road! This is a driver-quality vehicle that you don't have to worry about getting a rock chip etc. while out enjoying a drive. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior has largely retained its original charm, with the seats recovered in black vinyl with sharp houndstooth inserts. The dash has some cracks on top as seen in the photos, and there is some general wear, but overall the cockpit is comfortable and has a classic vibe. The aftermarket Sony stereo is a nice touch for added driving enjoyment, and the tilt & telescopic column is a must-have for taller Corvette enthusiasts! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: The 350 V8 fires up with confidence and benefits from a suite of Edelbrock upgrades including the carburetor, intake manifold, valve covers, and air cleaner. Paired with a 4-speed manual, this Corvette delivers an engaging driving experience. Power steering and power disc brakes on all four corners make it easy to handle. The sidepipes not only add style, but a throaty soundtrack that is pure Corvette! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: This is a driver's Corvette-classic styling, a stick shift, and a growling V8 under the hood. The electric headlight door conversion and Edelbrock upgrades bring added ease and performance to the table. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you're seeking an all-original Corvette, this is probably not the car. It has its share of imperfections, and is not numbers-matching. However, it is an L-82 4-speed car at a fair price! DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? It's ready to drive and enjoy, but buyers should plan to address the non-functioning blower motor, inoperative horn, and adjust the e-brake for a more complete experience. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Perfect for the enthusiast who wants a classic 4-speed Corvette to enjoy on weekends or at local car meets-without shelling out show car money. It's a head-turning, great-sounding classic that's ready to be driven, appreciated, and personalized!
