Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Cobrette For Sale by Owner

Everyone loves the iconic Shelby Cobra. In addition to being a racing-bred platform known for its speed and power, the Cobra is one of the most iconic shapes in automotive history. Only a limited number of original cars exist, but thanks to amazing replicas like our featured car, many more can enjoy the thrill of owning one of these coveted machines. Reportedly built by the replica maestros over at Group Five Limited, this Cobra replica goes about things a little differently from most. The majority of Corba replicas are based on Ford underpinnings, while this creation uses that of a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette, creating what is known as a “Cobrette.” Powered by a high-performance 350ci V8 that the owner tells us was built by Skip White Performance, it delivers a reported 418 horsepower, all controlled through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in striking Ford Red with white stripes, this Cobrette is a fusion of retro styling and contemporary muscle.

Exterior and Interior

This 1965 Group Five Limited Cobrette Kit looks nothing like your regular ’Vette thanks to the Group Five Limited Cobrette kit. The main element is the body: crafted from hand-laid fiberglass and Kevlar, ensuring a lightweight yet durable construction. The Ford Red paintwork, accented by bold white stripes, provides a nod to the car’s roots. The car sits on five-spoke wheels from American Racing, which are wrapped in Cooper Cobra rubber. Inside, the black interior maintains a driver-focused layout, with classic bucket seats and period-correct details. An AM/FM radio adds to the vintage feel, complementing the performance-oriented atmosphere.

Engine

Under the hood, the owner reports that the 350ci V8 has been built by Skip White Performance. Performance upgrades include a Holley quick fuel carburetor, MSD ignition, and Mallory wires. The engine puts out a reported 418 hp, with power being directed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission,

Do you ever wish you could go back in time 30 years? With this 1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, 30 years ago is today. Showing only 27 miles, this example remains a true time capsule that looks, feels, and even presents as though it has just rolled off the showroom floor. Original paper tags, factory paint dabs, and marker inspection marks remain visible throughout the engine bay and undercarriage, preserving the authenticity of what may be one of the most original and lowest-mileage C4 ZR-1 examples known. While every ZR-1 represents an important chapter in Corvette history, this particular example is suited for the collector seeking a benchmark-level representation of Chevrolet’s “King of the Hill” performance flagship. The final production year for the C4 ZR-1, 1995 saw only 448 examples produced, and this car is documented as number 352. Adding to its significance is its rare dual Dunn head configuration, a feature reportedly found on only 130 later-production 1995 ZR-1 models. According to accompanying documentation, this combination makes this example exceptionally rare, with its 27-mile odometer reading making it an especially unique piece of Corvette history. Documented with a clean Carfax, original window sticker still attached to the windshield, second window sticker, build sheet, ZR-1 owner’s manual packet, Corvette literature, factory accessories, and additional documentation, this Corvette represents an extraordinary opportunity to preserve one of Chevrolet’s most technologically advanced performance cars of the era.
