Classic Car Overview

Few cars capture the look of the 1970s quite like a C3 Corvette, and this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette has a distinctive color combination that fits the era perfectly. The exterior is finished in a very dark green metallic, complemented by a matching green interior. The bucket seats feature textured green cloth inserts with green vinyl outer bolsters, giving the cabin an unmistakably vintage appearance. Under the hood is a 5.7L L48 V8 equipped with a factory-style dual-snorkel air cleaner and twin cold-air intake ducts. The VIN confirms that this Corvette was originally equipped with the 195-horsepower L48 engine. Its long hood, sweeping fenders, hidden headlights and removable T-top roof panels create the unmistakable profile that made the C3 Corvette an American icon. Slotted aluminum wheels and raised-white-letter Cooper Cobra tires complete its classic look. The odometer currently shows 64,440 miles. The exterior paint is older and shows fading, weathering and other imperfections from age. We want buyers to understand that this Corvette is not being presented as a freshly restored show car. It is an honest vintage Corvette with plenty of character that can be enjoyed as it sits or improved over time. If you have been looking for an affordable entry into classic Corvette ownershipor simply want a V8-powered piece of American automotive historycome see this 1979 Corvette in person. Because this vehicle predates the standardized 17-character VIN, a CARFAX vehicle-history report is not available. Advertised price does not include applicable tax, title, license, registration or a $160 documentary fee.
