Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe For Sale by Owner

Throughout Chevrolet's long decades of building amazing machines, nothing stands as tall as the Chevrolet Corvette, which earned itself the name “America’s Sports Car” during the 60s and 70s. With almost 70 years of production under eight generations and countless special models, the Corvette is here to stay. The third-generation Corvette built between 1967 and 1982, was the second Corvette generation to carry the Stingray name. Up for grabs is a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in the coupe design, with less than 7,000 miles after the build.

Exterior and Interior

Repainted in its current Graphite Grey in May 2018, the car looks pristine to the casual eye. It comes with a custom 1 piece T-top painted in black which the seller reports to be easy to install and remove. The car is styled after the Mako Shark II which was designed by the legendary Larry Shinoda. The front features a long hood with pop-up headlights, while the crossed flags emblem nestles between the lights. The sides feature cooling vents for the brakes. The rear of this Corvette tapers smoothly to house the quad blacked-out taillights and the Corvette lettering in the center. The interior has been restored and redone in black. Black leather sports seats with white counter stitching have been reupholstered while the Corvette lettering as well as the crossed flag emblems are stitched on the headrests. While the dashboard is the original it features new gauges. Custom floor mats are in place, while the original 3-spoke steering wheel takes the center. The car rests on a set of matte black-painted wheels.
