Vehicle Detail

This is a 1979 Corvette. I have owned it since 1992. It has over 100k miles on it. I rebuilt the engine and transmission 50K miles ago. I don’t drive it much and I have lost my inside storage. The car is very quick. It idles in gear at about 700 rpm with a slight lope. After rebuilding the engine and trans I ran a low to mid 13 second quarters. The engine is a 400 cubic inch small block that has been bored .030 to make it 406 cubic inches. The compression ratio is 9.5:1. The cast iron heads have been ported. There are 1.94/1.5 valves with reduced shanks, Weiland aluminum intake with a 750 CFM Quadrajet spreadbore carburetor. The cam is Comp Cams .460 intake & exhaust with hydraulic lifters. The rocker arms are 1.6 ratio which makes the comparable cam lift .490. The ignition is HEI with a quick advance curve. The exhaust is true dual 2 ½ pipes through DynoMax mufflers & 2 ¾ tailpipes. The transmission is a Turbo 350 with a shift kit. The differential was rebuilt 2 years ago. The rear axle ratio is 3.55:1. It has heavy duty front and rear sway bars. The brake calipers have stainless steel sleeves. I repainted the car and replace the interior14 years age. They are showing their age. I installed a new front bumper cover. It is splitting.

The emblem on the gas tank door has faded.
