Up For Sale is Our 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the oldest names in the luxury sports car segments. So much so that it's dubbed America's Sports Car. The Corvette was introduced in 1953 with the C1. Fast forward to 2022, the Corvette is currently on its eighth generation, has moved to a mid-engined layout, and has no intention of slowing down. The third generation Chevrolet Corvette, also known as the C3 Corvette, was available from 1968 through 1976. If you fancy a vintage sports car, this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 coupe is ideal for you, as it comes with some tasty goodies and is ready for a new home.
The 1979 model year of the Chevrolet Corvette coupe was offered in eight exterior color palettes to choose from. This particular 1979 Corvette is dressed in a simple yet enticing custom black color. The look is further enhanced by the double racing stripes running the length of the car and painted in white. This generation of Corvettes is also the second to utilize quad pop-up headlights. The bottom part of the front bumper features chrome-painted vertical grille slats with embedded turn lights. The crossed flag emblem is used on each side of the front fender, nestled in-between the headlights and on the gas cap. A nifty detail is the exhaust pipes are routed to a single converter and then split back to dual chrome side pipes with exhaust outlets. It sits on a set of aftermarket Cragar S/S 5-spoke wheels painted chrome with Cooper Cobra white wall tires. A tan finish is used for the interior, with an aftermarket custom 3-spoke steering wheel in wood and aluminum. Power windows come standard on this. Entertainment is enhanced by the Sony radio with Bluetooth function and new 6x10 speakers in the car's rear.
This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is equipped with a 350ci 5.7L V8, reportedly not confirmed, and mated to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. The estimated power output is 195hp along with 285 lb.ft of torque. Stopping power is enhanced with ventilated front disc brakes and drums for the rear. Stabilizing bar is in place to assist in those tight corners.

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.
The C7 or seventh generation Corvette is the last of the front-engined brigade of America’s most-loved sports car. When the C8 dropped in 2020, it shifted to a mid-engined layout and went chasing baby supercars. That means cars like this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ are highly desirable items, future classics, and the best way to enjoy American power and handling. Bearing a mere 39,000 miles, this car is now up for sale, and you’d better act quickly if it takes your fancy.
With its sleek styling and relatively modern features, the C5 or fifth-generation Corvette is a great place to start your Corvette journey. It’s a definite future classic, but isn’t too old that you’ve got to baby it. Produced between 1997 and 2005, the C5 also marked the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps. That, plus many other reasons, mean that this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a great contender for that extra spot in your car collection. This reportedly all-original car has done 32,000 miles, which is lighter than average. So, it’s in great condition as a result.
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
Classic cars from the ’60s are hot property. But it’s not just cars that have found their way into the hearts of enthusiasts. Humble work trucks like the 1963 Chevrolet C10 are just as desirable. With values for these historic workhorses climbing year after year, it’s getting hard to find good examples of these classics. Our featured 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside appears to be largely original and features a 230ci engine, with a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you’re looking for a well-preserved classic truck or the perfect basis for a restomod, this C10 could be the answer you’re looking for.
The Chevy Camaro is the General’s answer to Ford’s Mustang pony car. Introduced in 1967, the Camaro and its sister car, the Pontiac Firebird, really took the fight to Ford. Chevy had studied what pony car buyers wanted and nailed the formula from the start. Almost 221,000 units were sold to much fanfare. Today, a 1967 Camaro is a great way to enter the world of classic cars, and if that floats your boat, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale right now. This is a fully-restored example, and the current owner says that there’s documentation of all work available. The car has done less than 1,600 miles since restoration. So, it’s a classic that you can drive daily, fearlessly, and enthusiastically.
