1979 Chevrolet Corvette L48 | Numbers-Matching 350 V8 | Victory
Red
Sold new through Lou LaRiche Chevrolet in Plymouth, Michigan, this
1979 Corvette was acquired directly from its second owner, who had
owned it since 1986. It runs and drives exceptionally well, and the
records that accompany it detail decades of maintenance and
upgrades. Originally finished in Classic White, it was repainted
Victory Red in 2001 and now pairs that finish with red leather
upholstery, removable T-tops, Rally wheels, and raised-white-letter
Goodyear Eagle ST tires.
The Corvette retains its original numbers-matching 350ci L48 V8 and
automatic transmission. The transmission was rebuilt with a B&M
Transpak street shift kit, and the drivetrain notes list Richmond
3.70 rear gears and a fiberglass rear monospring. The engine build
includes a 650 CFM Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock
Performer aluminum intake, and a COMP Cams 268H camshaft with
matched lifters and valve springs, roller-tip rocker arms, and
upgraded pushrods. An MSD 6AL ignition, Hedman headers, and a
stainless steel exhaust round out the setup.
Cooling upgrades include a Griffin radiator, dual electric fans,
and an Edelbrock aluminum water pump. The Corvette also has power
steering and four-wheel power disc brakes. The maintenance notes
document replacement calipers and pads at all four corners,
stainless steel brake lines, and work to the steering and front
suspension.
Inside, the red leather cabin features burlwood dash and console
trim, a JVC cassette stereo, power windows and locks, and a
tilt-and-telescoping steering column. The car is equipped with
factory air conditioning and heat. The A/C needs a recharge, and
the blower motor needs replacement for proper airflow.
The second owner kept the original parts removed during the
upgrades. Included are the original intake and Quadrajet
carburetor, ring and pinion set, camshaft, lifters, springs, fan,
exhaust manifolds, water pump and pulley, original spare tire and
cover, and some other miscellaneous parts.
The car also comes with a 1979 Corvette assembly manual, the
original factory booklets and manuals, and a Haynes automotive
repair manual, along with the build and maintenance records.
