1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe L82 Description

For sale is a 1979 Corvette Coupe L82 4-Speed.
This is an excellent vehicle with documented low mileage of 40,500 (rounded up to nearest 500 as of the time of this listing).
Exceedingly rare are the L82 4-Speed cars of this year, GM only made 4,062 4-speed Corvettes in 1979 and only 14,516 L82 engine option cars out of a total of 53,807 Corvettes manufactured for the 79 model year.
This car is in great condition, it has the original paint that presents very well. It is not perfect as you would expect a 40 year old paint job to be, but as you can see in the photos it has excellent curb appeal and people appreciate the originality of the car.
This is a high optioned car with:
-Power Windows-Power Locks-Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel-Sport Side Mirrors with driver's remote operation-Dual Rear Speakers-Front and Rear Spoilers (optional item carried over from the 78 Pace car, functional and add 5% fuel economy and 15% less drag)-L82 Engine with 4bbl carb and 225 BHP (Most on a corvette since 1974 and not more until 1985!)-4 Speed M21 Close Ratio Transmission-AIR CONDITIONING (Yes, it works and has a brand new AC Delco Compressor and charged with R12)

This car runs and drives excellent and handles very nicely. Head lamps operate perfectly and have brand new Halogen low beams. Windshield wipers work as intended, as do turn signals, brake lights, and all power options including locks and windows operate perfectly. Power antenna works as intended and tunes stations well.
Stereo has been upgraded to a modern system with a Kenwood Excelon AM/FM Stereo CD player with handsfree bluetooth and streaming audio. Front and rear speakers have been replaced with JBL speakers. T-Tops will still stow with the rear speakers in place and the t-top bags are included with the car.
This car has a NADA Low retail price of $16,500, this is an excellent opportunity to get into a increasingly collectible model of Corvette you can still enjoy and have a rare optioned car to show off at cruise in-s or car shows.
I will work with you for local pickup or will deliver within 200 miles of Des Moines, Iowa for a small additional cost depending on location.
