1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 4-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1979 Corvette holds the distinction of being the best-selling Corvette model year in history, with over 53,000 units produced — a record that stood for decades. The C3 generation was in its final stretch by 1979, but demand remained strong, and the L48 350ci V8 paired with the 4-speed manual transmission remained the driver's configuration within the lineup.

This 1979 Corvette is finished in white over a red interior and is powered by a numbers-matching L48 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip rear differential.

Equipment includes transparent T-top removable roof panels, 15-inch slotted alloy wheels, and a period head unit. Noted modifications include aftermarket gauges in place of the stock center-stacked auxiliary units and a dual exhaust conversion with Super Turbo mufflers.

This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is now offered at no reserve with a clean Indiana title in the seller's name.

Ownership History

From the seller, "I bought this Corvette from someone local who found a deal on a C8 and decided to use this C3 to help pay for it. He had owned it for about a year. Prior to 2024 it was single owner in Ohio back to about 2000. The car operates well as a daily driver or an occasional cruiser. I get tons of compliments while driving."
