1979 Chevrolet Corvette Description

1979 Corvette 97k original miles on the car


Brand new 440hp Blue-Print aluminum headed 383 custom engine (w/1,500mi ) still under factory 3 year/36kmi warranty,

Dual Spal electric fans (custom bracket mounted), ebuilt tranny (with B&N ShiftKit), ebuilt front end (full bushing rebuild), ebuilt rear end, rame on engine compartment restoration, rand new compressor (blows cold air), ong tube hooker headers, nd much more. Automatic tranny, un to drive. Exterior and interior are in good shape. This is a cruiser, ot a garage queen, o she's not perfect but you'll be hard pressed to find a better looking and better performing C3 on the road.


There is close to $30,000 invested in this corvette. All of the mechanical work was done professionally and I have the paper work and receipts to back that up.


There are no mechanical issues with this car, t is a great weekend romper -this thing is a beast. Only reason for selling isI don't get out and drive it enough to warrant keeping it.


Full disclosure - I've had this beauty for just over 4 years now andit does have a blue Texas title... However when I had the engine pulled (last year)I was told there is a frame patch on the vehicle, ndicating that it was in a wreck at one point or another. Like I said it does have a blue title indicating that the wreck was never reported so I don't have any more information...I had the frame assessed for safety and decided to go on with the build when it was cleared.
