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.

1956 Chevrolet 150 2-Door Sedan Restomod

Current Ask
$57,000

This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.
