Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod For Sale by Owner

1979 was an excellent year for the Corvette marque; production numbers soared to a massive 53,807 units, a record still held to this day. The C3 Corvette had a considerably long production run compared to its forefathers and what was to come, and it's no shocker, the C3 was featured in multiple Hollywood blockbusters and looked and performed well too. Looking to get a piece of Corvette's golden year? This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod is the one for you.

Exterior and Interior

This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod can be summed up in a popular term. Namely, it's a "wolf in sheep's clothing." The "wolf" represents what's underneath the hood, and the "sheep" refers to the unassuming factory styling. The exterior is finished in white, and while this is a resto-mod, all the car's factory features are retained and in great condition. What's better than all this? This particular example is a T-Top, meaning your driving experience is better with some fiddling. In keeping with its factory styling, the car sits on its factory wheels. Now, this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod's red interior screams vintage greatness. The current owner reports a new interior with newly upholstered seats; even the carpeting is new! Look around the fresh interior; the car's factory components are still in place. There's even a new air conditioning unit and a new speaker system reported by the owner making this one cool buy, no pun intended.

Engine

Now for the moment you've been waiting for, what lies underneath the hood? Make your way past all the clean lines, and what you will find powering this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod is a reported 383 stroker engine. This fire-breathing American powerhouse is reported to be new and has only run 300 miles. The drag-strip-friendly performance is also made better with a reported new Edelbrock carburetor, starter, Blueprint exhaust system, and new brakes to ensure all this upgraded power comes to a steady halt. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission, a rare option for the 1979 model.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
