Exterior and Interior

This clean example is a T-top and sports a silver exterior that not only looks the part and harks back to those space-age connotations, but also showcases those classic American body lines. The vehicle sits on the original Corvette wheels to boot. The reportedly original white interior of this car is the cherry on top of the cake, with silver accents that complement the exterior nicely. The seats really add on that sporty feel and are 1978 Limited Edition bucket seats which were standard on the 1979 model year. Every interior component is also in great shape with the original radio still in place.
Engine
Old school American V8s are a thing of beauty, The all too familiar rumble and feel can't be matched by any other power plant, and each drivetrain is either geared for a slow chilled drive or one with loud pops and bangs at high speeds. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette is equipped with a 5.7 L V8 engine (350ci) which can provide a whole lot of power with the right tweaks and modifications if that fancies you. The engine in the car is reported to be a period matching new Chevrolet Performance engine to ensure the car runs smooth. The original drivetrain is reported to have 95,000 miles before being replaced. There is also a new carburetor in place to ensure smooth delivery of fuel to the engine. This C3 Corvette comes from a time where there were no catalytic converters which means you could hear that V8 rumble better. What's better? This car is equipped with a new straight piped exhaust system allowing the car to breathe smoother and emit that rumble sounds better. All this fresh new rebuilt Power is sent to the rear wheels of this car through an automatic gearbox.
The 1986 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the defining early years of the C4 generation, when Chevrolet pushed the Corvette further into the modern performance era with digital instrumentation, aerodynamic styling, and Tuned Port Injection V8 power. Showing 99,665 miles, this example is finished in Black over a Red leather interior, a classic combination that suits the C4’s sharp, low-slung profile especially well. Its 5.7L L98 V8 is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while features such as the removable targa roof panel, digital gauge cluster, Delco-Bose audio system, and power-adjustable sport seats give it the period-correct mix of technology and grand-touring comfort that made the C4 such a major step forward for the Corvette.

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.
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.

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.
