1979 Corvette 350 Bored & Stroked to 383 ci V8 Automatic Transmission New Tires Custom Wheels New Flowmaster 40 Series Mufflers Duel Exhaust Interior has new Upholstry, Seats and Carpet Edelbrock Intake K&N Filter Holley 4 Barrel Carb Crane Cams with mild performance grind 105,203 Miles This is a beautiful car that has all the right parts to make it a fun daily driver or cruise in ready Corvette. This Corvette is a 1979 Model Year that has been well maintained and is very clean throughout. It runs and drives GREAT! It has enough tasteful upgrades to increase the fun factor, while preserving the originality and appearance of the car as Chevy intended. Very fun to drive, no issues with the engine, it runs clean, no smoke, or funny noises. The engine was treated to a complete overhaul 19K miles ago which included a bore and stroke to a 383ci helping this corvette come to life! It was built with performance and driveability in mind. With the custom Crane Cam you get a mild "lopey" idle you would expect from a performance muscle car but still maintains great idle and driveability with excess power throughout the power band. More than enough power to throw you back in the seat and put a smile on your face. Be forewarned, this car will smoke tires if you want it too. With the upgrades made to this car, it makes way more power than a stock Corvette of this year... To compliment the power, The Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers and duel exhaust creates a powerful note that is a must have for that deep throaty exhaust tones we all love. Transmission is in great shape and shifts firmly, no slipping and shifts through all gears with no problems noted. U-joints have been checked as well as rear end and there is no play as expected and no leaks or noises from the rear end. It plants the power to the tires which are nearly new Cooper Cobra Radial Tires with perhaps 4,000 miles on them and they all show like new with 90+ percent tread on them with no repairs or damage noted, mounted and balanced on a matching set of Boyd custom polished aluminum wheels. The interior is VERY nice, it has fresh upholstery done over the summer with new OEM seats, carpet etc. It is very clean and detailed. This Corvette has the Mirrored T-Tops and they lock into place securely with no water leaks or wind noise noticeable. The paint is very nice, a classic red that screams performance. While the paint is not perfect, is shows very nice and I would rate it a 9/10. The fiberglass is all good and structurally sound. I got this car over the summer from a gentleman who was in need of cash, so I helped him out, I drove it for a month daily with no issues and it was a blast to drive, but alas, I am a Ford Mustang guy and so while fun, it is just not my "type" of car to hang onto long term, but I know this will be the perfect car for someone who appreciates the classic looks of the C3 body style. The car does show signs of wear here and there, it is not perfect in any way, but it is a very nice and clean car for this vintage and has been well taken care of. As I said, I only drove it for a short time, but the only thing that doesn't work that I have noticed is the tachometer. Which I hear is an easy fix from some of the research I had done, but not something I have had time to fix and it does not hamper driveability. The odometer is in excess of its capabilities, it is working and has rolled over and currently reads 05203, I am told by previous owner who was the 2nd owner according to him that it is indeed 105,203 but I have no way to verify this or discredit this, the best I can say is the wear on the car is consistent with 105,203 miles, although beware this may not be an accurate figure. Additionally, included with the car is a fitted car cover to protect it from dust and the elements. I am sure there is more, it is impossible to describe every detail of a car but this is a good overview of it. Any other questions or details I have missed, please message me and I will be happy to help clarify or provide answers. Remember, if you don't ask, I can't answer! The car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty. I urge prospective buyers to take all precautions available to arrange inspections prior to and before placing bids. Your bid is a contract to purchase, not a contract to come inspect. This advertisement is intended to give you a brief overview of the car and is not a substitute for due diligence and a personal inspection by you and or your mechanic. Remember this car is about 34 years old, and is not perfect, though it is very nice. The photos are of the actual car for sale, and show it well. If you need additional photos or have questions I am happy to address them for you. Every effort has been made to provide an accurate advertisement, however I will not be liable for typos, errors or inadvertent omissions in the description, that is the purpose of you coming and doing a pre-bid inspection so you can see it in full detail and verify every aspect of the car you want. I require an immediate non-refundable deposit of $500 through paypal within 24 hours, the balance is required within 7 days in the form of cash or bank check. You are welcome to fly in and drive home, or you may arrange shipping of the car at your expense and you are responsible for arranging delivery, although I will help in any way I can. The title is clear, from the Oregon DMV and it is in hand and will be transferred to the buyer. 1 set of keys included. The car will not be released to shipper or buyer until funds have cleared my bank, so please allow time for this or come in person with cash or we can meet at your bank if there is a branch here local to me. Any questions or concerns please let me know and I will be happy to help.
