Cool colors, a crate V8, an overdrive transmission, and one of the best prices you'll ever find on a classic is exactly why this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette is an amazing buy. Code 28 Light Blue is a great factory-correct color. It was only offered for a few years, and it was one of the lower batch orders (there were only about 3,200 made in '79.) So this C3 has instant distinction. These have substantially less chrome than the earlier cars,... and so the blue runs uninterrupted from the shark-like nose to the smoothly tapered rear end. Plus, the slight tint of the windows and optional glass T-tops really give this a nicely coordinated total package. And with all of this blue, the optional 15-inch alloys are even brighter standouts. Someone knew about good colors when they ordered this Corvette. The dark blue leather continues the coordinating hues, and in fact, you'll only see more shade of blue in a tropical ocean. Everything looks quite original, which will have survivor car enthusiasts quite happy. Plus, this comes with great features like power windows, a tilt steering column, power steering, and an upgraded AM/FM cassette stereo. Even the factory air conditioning is still blowing cold. The leather on the three-spoke steering wheel is still grippy. Beyond that is the large speedo and tach package as well as the full auxiliary gauge package just to the right. So you get the perfect sports car experience. Under the hood is an upgraded crate V8 with only around 30,000 miles on it. So not only do you get a fresher 350 cubic-inch powerplant, but also the transmission was upgraded to a 700R4 four-speed automatic with overdrive. This makes this classic Corvette a true cruising machine. But anytime you want to remember why this is America's sports car, just peg the accelerator to the floor. The four-barrel carburetor opens up, and the dual exhaust give a mighty rumble as you feel the car's full power. And with four-wheel disc brakes and a fully independent sports suspension, this C3 is always a great back roads companion. The price is right; the colors are right; and the full package is irresistible. This is the affordable Corvette experience you've been searching for. Call today!!!
