1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 4-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Chevrolet’s third-generation Corvette (C3) carried the model into the late ‘70s with distinctive styling, T-top versatility, and a focus on grand touring performance. By 1979, the Corvette offered improved driver comfort and refinement while retaining the classic appeal of it's front-engine, V8-powered V8, rear-wheel drive configuration. The optional L82 engine provided a welcome boost in performance, making it one of the more desirable variants, especially when equipped with a manual gearbox.

This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by its L82 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and Positraction differential. Finished in silver over a two-tone red and black cabin, it features removable T-top roof panels—including original glass panels, painted panels, and a vinyl set.

The seller reports that the brakes and clutch have been serviced, while the shifter and interior have been refurbished. The car retains factory features such as power windows, while modifications include Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes and polished underhood components.

This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette is now offered at no reserve with a car cover and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
