The shape and allure of a classic C3 Corvette are impossible for
almost anyone to deny. Its iconic status has inspired books, songs,
and fantasies of young children since 1953. One look at this
numbers-matching 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 repainted in its
original Corvette Medium Red, and it is easy to see why. The sinewy
Coke bottle shape, wonderfully practical T-top roof, and overall
factory appearance of this 'Vette let you travel back in time to
the back end of the third generation of Chevy's halo car.
Inside, we find a matching Corvette Medium Red leather interior
that appears to be stock, correct, and is most likely original. A
tilt and telescoping steering wheel, factory AM/FM stereo, power
windows, and locks are complemented by new floor mats, cruise
control, and color-matched T-Tops to make this 'Vette as much fun
on the inside as it is on the outside.
Under the hood, we find a numbers-matching L82 350 cubic-inch V-8
topped by a single four-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake
manifold. Stock-style exhaust manifolds flow into a dual FlowMaster
exhaust, giving this small block the throaty growl it deserves.
From the factory, the L82 produced 225 horsepower and 270
pound-feet of torque. Those ponies are funneled through a TH350
three-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the
Corvette rear end.
