Renowned for its legendary "Coke-Bottle" design, wide range of engine options, and low-slung profile, the C3 Corvette set the standard for what a traditional Corvette should look like for generations to come. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L-82 sticks out like a sore thumb, with its striking yellow paint and black accenting as well as its astounding level of originality. Sitting inside the detailed engine bay is the most powerful engine available for 1979, a numbers-matching L-82 350 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor. Torque is put to the pavement through an equally numbers-matching smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission, which shifts seamlessly as this Corvette glides down the freeway. And, with 84,580 original miles on the odometer, this '79 Corvette's got plenty more gliding left to do! The exterior's signature curvy bodylines are laser-straight, with flowing contours that make this Corvette seem like it's in motion even if it's standing still. The fastback rear window works with the hideaway headlights and flush door handles to give this Corvette an even more aerodynamic appearance, which works in conjunction with the sleek front and rear ends. The bright yellow paint is in excellent condition, buffed to a brilliant shine and matched up with contrasting black lower accenting to give this Corvette a seriously sporty appearance. The undercarriage is in fantastic shape too, with strong floors, frame rails, trunk, and door jambs. Opening the curved doors and stepping inside reveals a gorgeous black vinyl interior complete with comfy high-back sport bucket seats, a full center console, and all of its original factory equipment, including A/C! As to be expected from a Corvette in this condition, this one's fully loaded and fully operational! Options include power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks, T-Tops, a tilt & telescopic steering wheel, complete factory A/C, factory gauges & tachometer, an original AM/FM/Cassette stereo, dual color-matched sport mirrors, and a mean-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on a shiny set of 15" Chevrolet chrome rally wheels wrapped with Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a factory-fresh appearance that makes this 'Vette seem like it drove right out of 1979! With the condition this Corvette is in, it starts up and runs like a top, guaranteeing that you'll be smiling every time you're behind the wheel. It can't wait to get back out on the open road, and it's sure to turn heads at your next car show!
