Classic Car Overview
For sale is my 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3, a three-owner car that has been in my family for many years. My father-in-law was the previous owner, and I am the third owner. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a classic C3 Corvette with a known ownership history.
The Corvette is powered by the original-style L48 350 V8 and features the unmistakable late-1970s C3 body design. It is equipped with power windows and power locks and retains its classic interior and overall period-correct appearance.
The car presents well for its age but is not being represented as a restored or perfect example. It has been driven and there are normal signs of age and use. The air conditioning is currently not working and will need attention. I have tried to represent the condition accurately so the next owner knows exactly what they are purchasing.
This would make a great weekend cruiser, entry into classic Corvette ownership, or a solid starting point for someone who wants to continue improving an increasingly collectible C3.

* 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3
