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.
