1979 C3 Corvette coupe fresh 383 Stroker motor - many new parts - 2 owner car

1979 Chevrolet Corvette Description

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION

After many years of ownership, this 1979 Corvette coupe has to be sold due to our purchase of a brand new 2016 C7 Corvette. There is not enough room in the garage now, and I am not going to store this car outside after it has spent it’s entire life in a garage. This car is a hear-turner, painted only once in Peacock Blue – a very deep blue that was a factory Bentley color PPG paint.A good friend painted this at Forman motors in West Palm BeachFlorida. A high end Bentley, Rolls, Benz, shop. This has been a Florida car from day one, and has a clear in hand title. **This was a factory air conditioned car, however the compressor has been removed, it qould be brought back to an A/C car if needed. Vacuum head lights go up and down in sequence (like they should) which is some what rare with these older C3 Corvettes.

There are so many things new or recently replaced on this car, I will try to name them all, there are also some things that need to be done, and I will also point those out as well as possible.

· 383 – Professionally built “Stroker” motor with less than 1000 miles, aluminum heads, large but “streetable" cam – also completely rebuilt TH-350 Transmission at the same time.

This is not a perfect car, it will require some work, but looks great for it's 37 years of age Below are some things that are needed the I know of off the top of my head. As with any old car, there may be other things needed, or the new owner may choose to do additional or custom work. All fluids, Trans, engine oil and filter, and rear gear housing have just been changed.

• Right side front pillar window trim

• Install upper windshield roof trim piece (have the part)

• (2) new wire harness male/female plugs (sold at Ecklers and other places)for power door looks - power door looks do not work due to wiring.

• need new passenger power window switch (standard GM type easily available)

• front end alignment due to the ball joint and tie rod replacement,

• misc.. interior fixes and tweeks needed.
• Tires have almost full tread, but are older (approximately 8 years old)
• Driver and passenger interior door panel arm rests (easy to find on eBay or after marker Corvette stores like Ecklers)

Sorry for several typo's, almost embarrassing - LOL.
I thought I couldmodify it after the listing, it was a lot of wording, but I wastrying to be detailed. I listed the car as a no-reserve .99 cents starting bid, there was a bid in about a minute after posting the listing. I then haveNO opportunity to change typos, or pics, because a bid took place. If you are serious about buying the car, I can email additional pics. As the auction is now, I am at my max 24 pics, and cannot modify anything because the auction has the initial bid. I have several extra pics, one, where the intake manifold was replaced just a few months ago, and shows the inside below the intake, and the aluminum rockers on both sides of the motor.

***Update - today (6/16/16) theinterior door handles/armrests (left and right) that I said were missing, have been found! It was driving me nuts because I knew I had them somewhere. I found a bin that had some parts ALSO including the right side front pillar trim that I also stated was missing. The door handles/armrests are in excellent condition, but will need the mounting screws for attachment.
