When the C3, or third-generation Corvette, debuted for the 1968 model year, it was hailed as futuristic. Bill Mitchell's design, based on a Larry Shinoda concept, was enough to turn heads whenever one passed a Chevy dealership. What's even more admirable is the way Chevy kept it fresh over fourteen years, even during the dark period of American motoring, known as the Malaise Era. That's why we're confident that you'll want to snap up this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette that's up for sale right now. This NCRS Top Flight Award car comes to you with 91,000 miles on the clock but is reported to have undergone a full restoration. We're also told that the motor was rebuilt approximately 7,000 miles ago. Let's discover more about this car.
Exterior and Interior
This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette wears a two-tone silver and gray paint job and rolls on period-correct wheels wearing new BF Goodrich rubber. Thanks to the restoration, you'll find the car looking positively fresh, right down to the pop-up headlamps at the front, spoiler at the rear, and everything in between. Even the badging gleams as it will have done so in 1979 when this car was released from the factory gates. Likewise, the red interior looks similarly exceptional. Two occupants sit upon individual bucket seats and can enjoy a cool cabin thanks to functional air conditioning. Gazing upwards reveals that the car has the much-desired T-top configuration, so you can enjoy a partial open-air experience if the mood strikes. Everything, from the clear and neat gauges to the push-button radio in the center console, looks mint. The luggage area behind the two seats is similarly clean and hosts the battery beneath a lift-out panel. Another panel contains tire-changing equipment, all neatly tucked away out of view. There's enough luggage space in case you decide to take this 'Vette across the country on a whim.
Engine
Sporting a 350ci V8 under the hood, this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette has the go-factor to match its looks. An automatic transmission is employed to drive the rear wheels, while reportedly new brakes ensure that stopping power has been restored appropriately. We're also told that the exhaust remains the stock unit.
The 1986 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the defining early years of the C4 generation, when Chevrolet pushed the Corvette further into the modern performance era with digital instrumentation, aerodynamic styling, and Tuned Port Injection V8 power. Showing 99,665 miles, this example is finished in Black over a Red leather interior, a classic combination that suits the C4’s sharp, low-slung profile especially well. Its 5.7L L98 V8 is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while features such as the removable targa roof panel, digital gauge cluster, Delco-Bose audio system, and power-adjustable sport seats give it the period-correct mix of technology and grand-touring comfort that made the C4 such a major step forward for the Corvette.
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible Restomod takes one of the most celebrated shapes in American sports-car history and updates the experience underneath without losing the visual drama that made the C2 Corvette iconic. Showing approximately 65,888 miles, this example pairs its Victory Red exterior and black interior with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8, electronic fuel injection, and a 4-speed manual transmission. Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation, upgraded suspension components, modernized braking hardware, and aftermarket wheels move the driving experience well beyond a stock early Corvette while preserving the low-slung roadster proportions enthusiasts immediately recognize.
Few American performance cars have the visual drama of an early C3 Corvette, and this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod adds a serious dose of big-block attitude to that already iconic shape. Showing approximately 58,617 miles, it wears Tuxedo Black over a Black interior and keeps the unmistakable low-slung proportions, removable T-tops, and cockpit-style cabin that made the third-generation Corvette such a standout. The real story, though, is under the hood, where a 467ci V8 built from a 454ci block brings the car well beyond factory specification. With the current owner reporting 609 HP and 597 LB-FT of torque on 91 octane, this is the kind of Corvette built for someone who wants classic C3 style with considerably more muscle behind the throttle.

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser. The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable. It is a clean, straightforward Nova built around the formula enthusiasts still appreciate today: V8 power, rear-wheel drive, simple mechanicals, and unmistakable early-1970s Chevrolet styling.
