Slick red paint and a value price made you stop to look at this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette. But take a moment to dig a little deeper. The fresh performance-built stroker V8, four-speed stick shift, and loaded interior are going to make you realize this is the best deal on a powerful machine you're likely ever going to find.Of course, you want your Corvette in red... they're so iconic that they write songs about it. Plus, this one gives you a great gloss and shine, which is especially appreciated on these later C3s. This style is really gaining a nice following as people begin to appreciate the clean chrome-free body. They have a sleeker and more modern look than the cars of the earlier years. And this one takes it a step further. The custom black hood stripe coordinates nicely with the black bumper guards and tinted windows to give you a very striking appearance. Plus, while the body opts out on most chrome, the optional factory-style aluminum wheels makes sure you have plenty of brightwork to be a true all-American.We enjoy the red so much on the outside that we love to see it on the inside, too. And more than just look great, you get all the right features like power windows, sculpted bucket seats, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. For the driver, there's a red and chrome three-spoke steering wheel. Beyond that is the large speedometer and tachometer in front, and a full gauge package prominently to the side. You can show this fantastic interior to the world as you go cruising around with the T-tops off. There's even provisions for R134a air conditioning if you want to stay open to the world all summer long.The red on red of the interior makes this car look like it's out for blood, and the engine bay confirms it. Not only is the 383 cubic-inch stroker motor larger than anything you could have had in 1979, but also this V8 is a full performance build. It starts with a V8 that's so fresh, it only has about 3k miles on it...and it's still under warranty! It has been blueprinted and built with new components such as such as an Edelbrock 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, high volume aluminum radiator, alternator, water pump, motor mounts, and headers that feed the thunderous dual exhaust. You have complete control over this fast and fortified powerplant thanks to the four-speed manual transmission that features a new flywheel and clutch assembly. But more than just brute force, this 'Vette understands the backroads thanks to the fully independent sports suspension that's been updated. Add in the power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, and this classic 'Vette Is capable of some very modern moves.Complete with maintenance records, you're looking at an awesome 'Vette for an awesome price. But you're not the only one who recognizes an outstanding value. So don't miss out, call today!
