There are still some big bargains out there and this 1979 Corvette definitely qualifies. Its a fastand#44; funand#44; affordable driver-grade Vette with an awesome look that will work for some and not for othersand#44; and thats OK. We only need one guy to really love it and once you drive itand#44; it becomes pretty hard to resist. With the 1979 Trans Am becoming such a hot collectableand#44; we have to believe that cars like this cool Vette coupe cant be too far behind. Finished in dark blueand#44; the paint is pretty old; a professional cut and buff would really wake it up but its not a lost cause so a modest investment would pay big dividends. There are a few signs of age here and thereand#44; but nothing thats going to need attention anytime soon and youll quickly discover that showing up in a Corvette is still a pretty big deal. It doesnt appear that this car has ever been wrecked because the doors fit welland#44; the hood sits flushand#44; and even the headlight doors fit correctly. Out backand#44; the urethane end cap is still in great shape with no cracking or major damageand#44; offering original taillights and a corvette emblem in the centerand#44; just in case nobody recognized it. We strongly believe this is original paintand#44; as the bonding strips are still visible along the cars flanks and there are no signs of a repaintand#44; just some touch-ups. The interior is as good as C3 Corvettes getand#44; with handsome dark blue leather seat upholsteryand#44; some pretty nice door panelsand#44; and a center console that are all perfect for the 70s supercar. Other good stuff is all OEM Corvetteand#44; ranging from the leather-wrapped steering wheel to the supportive seatsand#44; to options like A/C power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; cruise controland#44; and a tilt/telescope steering columnand#44; so its an easy place to spend some time. An AM/FM/CB stereo with a CB mic still on the console is pure 1970s cooland#44; and yes it still works. Theres some speculation that the mileage of 24and#44;983 is authenticand#44; and while we cant prove itand#44; the condition of the interior makes a strong argument in its favor. Pull the T-tops offand#44; turn on your favorite soundsand#44; and youll find that this cool vintage Vette still delivers first-class fun. The L82 350 cubic inch V8 is this cars originaland#44; numbers-matching engine. It was the top option in 1979 and makes the kind of robust low-end torque that makes American V8 cars so much fun to drive. Its not really detailed for showand#44; but the way this 100% stock and original engine runs will make you forget all about sitting still at a car show and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission snaps off shifts so quickly that youll never wish for a clutch again. The exhaust sounds great and still includes a factory catalytic converterand#44; and the largely original chassis shows off decades of clean living someplace where snow doesnt rot the cars. Shiny factory aluminum wheels are fitted at all four corners and give the Corvette a slightly racy stanceand#44; and theyre wrapped in 255/60/15 Hoosier performance radials. Affordable cars are still out there and this Corvette offers a great deal of performance for the moneyand#44; and if you like the lookand#44; youre going to love how it drives. Call today! |
