Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 For Sale by Owner

One of the most iconic sports cars in the world today, the Chevrolet Corvette has stood the test of time, constantly evolving with each generation while still staying true to its automotive heritage. One of the greatest works of the American automotive industry, this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 is now reaching half a century in age but is still going strong, having little to no changes to its mechanical heart, except for a few parts being replaced, such as the fuel cap, oil pans, brakes, and tires, and a new harmonic balancer. With 47,500 miles reported on the clock, this Corvette has been treated with much love. According to the current owner, this Corvette has undergone a recent oil change if maintenance is something you consider important as well.

Exterior and Interior

The look of a Chevrolet Corvette has changed over the decades. However, the raw, aggressive feel that the Corvette evokes has been a constant with each iteration. True to the aesthetic, this 1979 Corvette sports an aggressive design language, featuring a low, sporty stance and long, broad, swooping lines that follow the car from front to back. The current owner reports that new tires are fitted to its wheels, adding a touch of metallic shine to break from the striking red. As for the inside, the current owner reports that the beige interior found in this Corvette is original, with no changes from when it first rolled out of the factory. With plenty of room for its two passengers, this Corvette’s interior is a breath of fresh air, beautifully preserving its retro look and feel, with the only exception being the addition of a more modern stereo head to make sure you can still play your favorite tunes without lowering the quality of sound to what it was decades ago.

Engine

Featuring a 350ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission, this Corvette has plenty of power under the hood to deliver all the performance you would expect. To continue powering the rear wheels, the current owner reports that this Corvette has been fitted with a few newer components, including a new water pump, timing belt, and fuel cap, among others. Its independent suspension system, with unequal-length A-arm, coil springs, and stabilizer bar at the front, and the rear having a trailing arm, transverse fiberglass leaf springs, and stabilizer bar ensure that the car is still under control at high speeds. This Corvette’s four-wheel disk brakes provide plenty of stopping power too, letting you push this car to the limit, bringing plenty of smiles in the process.

Current Ask
$85,750

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible Restomod takes one of the most celebrated shapes in American sports-car history and updates the experience underneath without losing the visual drama that made the C2 Corvette iconic. Showing approximately 65,888 miles, this example pairs its Victory Red exterior and black interior with a modern 5.7L LS1 V8, electronic fuel injection, and a 4-speed manual transmission. Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation, upgraded suspension components, modernized braking hardware, and aftermarket wheels move the driving experience well beyond a stock early Corvette while preserving the low-slung roadster proportions enthusiasts immediately recognize.

1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod

Current Ask
$55,000

Few American performance cars have the visual drama of an early C3 Corvette, and this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod adds a serious dose of big-block attitude to that already iconic shape. Showing approximately 58,617 miles, it wears Tuxedo Black over a Black interior and keeps the unmistakable low-slung proportions, removable T-tops, and cockpit-style cabin that made the third-generation Corvette such a standout. The real story, though, is under the hood, where a 467ci V8 built from a 454ci block brings the car well beyond factory specification. With the current owner reporting 609 HP and 597 LB-FT of torque on 91 octane, this is the kind of Corvette built for someone who wants classic C3 style with considerably more muscle behind the throttle.

The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.

$42,500

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser. The custom orange finish gives the car plenty of presence, while Rally-style wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes make the package feel especially usable. It is a clean, straightforward Nova built around the formula enthusiasts still appreciate today: V8 power, rear-wheel drive, simple mechanicals, and unmistakable early-1970s Chevrolet styling.

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod

Current Ask
$39,700

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.
