Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

By 1979, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a household name. After an initially slow takeoff in its first years, the Corvette soon became known as a serious competitor to the perceived luxury offerings from Europe. The C3 Corvette continued this tradition, with the underpinnings carried over from the C2 but with an all-new body and interior. The design was heavily influenced by the Mako Shark 2, which had been well-received on the motor show circuit. By 1979, the C3 Corvette had already been in production for 11 years. But thanks to continued refreshing, the C3 Corvette still had much to offer. Our featured car includes the desirable T-Tops and a host of new parts.

Exterior and Interior

The curvaceous body of this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 is beautifully complemented by the dark blue exterior. First impressions tell you that this Corvette means business. It sits on new white-lettered tires with aggressively fitted black wheels. The look is further enhanced with the rear window louvers and the aggressive rear spoiler. There are the customary crossed flag badges on the front fenders and Corvette lettering at the rear. The owner reports no leaks from the T-tops and new motors for the iconic pop-up headlamps. Moving inside, you’ll find a similarly dark blue interior with swathes of blue cowhide. Even the steering wheel, with the crossed-flag emblem in its center, is wrapped in blue leather. There’s a 140 mph speedometer flanked by a tachometer. The center stack includes gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, a clock, and battery voltage. The owner of this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 also tells us that the air conditioning blows cold.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 lies a L48 350ci V8 engine. This sends power to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Moreover, the owner reports that the drivetrain is original, adding collectible value to this classic sports car. Things have been enhanced with new headers and a Super 10 custom bent welded stainless steel exhaust. The owner reports several new parts, including new tires, a new water pump, and a new starter motor.

Current Ask
$15,500

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.

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.

1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod

Current Ask
$55,000

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.
