1979 Chevrolet Corvette

1979 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Coupe

Why This Car Is Special

The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new.

The grey 1979 Chevrolet Corvette custom we have at Skyway Classics saw the return of the crossed-flag emblems on the nose and fuel door as well as three popular features introduced on the 78 pace car replicas, the new bucket seats, the front and rear spoiler package, and the glass roof panels.

Our 79 has seen a restoration with paint and interior, original wheels, Cooper Cobra tires, custom Greenwood hood, front and rear upgraded to 81 models, and dual exhaust.

Mechanical

The engine in our Vette is the base 350 cubic inch L-48 engine which generated 195 horsepower back then. Output for all engines increased due to new open flow mufflers.

The engine has chrome valve covers, chrome performance intake, 4-barrel carb, Mallory performance ignition and distributor, and Edelbrock chrome air cleaner assembly, air conditioning, and sits in a nice engine compartment.

Our 79 Vette rides on Cooper Cobra GT Radial tires mounted on the factory wheels, with a great exhaust note emanating from the true dual exhaust system tips in the rear.

Interior

The custom red/black interior features high back seats with great side bolster and provide easier access to the rear storage area, and the seat pair resulted in a weight reduction of about 24 pounds.

It has a red factory dash with all the performance gauges, tilt wheel, red leather steering wheel, red carpeting and red floor mats, great stereo system with its AM-FM radio, power windows, power seats, great matching red door panels, power windows and locks, and the automatic shifter in the red factory center console.

Exterior

The darker grey paint looks great with the custom Greenwood fresh air hood, and the front and rear upgraded to 81 models.

It is a one-of-a-kind treatment that will attract a lot of conversation when you are at the car shows.

The bolt-on front and rear spoilers were offered as an option and functionally the spoilers decrease drag by about 15% and increased fuel economy by about a half-mile per gallon. The roof T-tops are painted a matching grey body color also.
