1979 Corvette Coupe - Matching #'s L48 Engine Factory Black with Oyster!
Chevrolet's Corvette had benefited from annual improvements, and for 1978, the improvements were fairly extensive. Most noticeably, the Corvette received a slick, fastback rear window, which aided visibility, increased cargo capacity, improved aerodynamics and arguably gave the Corvette a cleaner, sleeker look. Performance was also enhanced, and for 1979 the 350 CI V-8 engine received refinements that resulted in more linear power delivery and smoother overall performance. The new Corvette also received a heavier dose of sound-deadening material and a flat-folding passenger seat for easier access to the rear cargo area, and cloth seat inserts became available.
This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette has only traveled 66,581 miles from new. It's finished in Corvette Black which is accompanied by an Oyster leather interior. The interior hosts amenities like a tilt-telescope steering wheel, power windows, power locks, air conditioning, an AM/FM cassette stereo with dual rear speakers and a power antenna, an electric rear window defogger and mirrored T-tops. Outside, the Corvette shines with unique elements such as remote-controlled twin sport mirrors, front and rear spoilers, side exhaust and triple chrome plated wheels with Super Sport tires. The driving experience is enhanced with equipment such as power 4-wheel disc brakes, power steering, 4-wheel independent suspension and a 350 CI V-8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor, automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Black on oyster, full of features and with modest mileage, this is a difficult 1979 Corvette to repeat.

Admittedly, cars from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s suffered power deficiencies, but Corvette always delivered an exceptional effort. While this generation of Corvette may not have been the quickest or fastest, the improvements to the chassis, weight distribution, passenger comfort, interior cargo volume, luxury amenities and power delivery made them some of the most comfortable, best-driving Corvettes of the third-generation production run.
