| Car history: |
Seven Hills Motorcars is offering this low mileage 1979 Corvette for sale. This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Corvette that is ready to be enjoyed at an unbeatable value. This car runs and drives well, but has some room left for improvement by the future owner. It has a beautiful interior and solid frame, but the paint job is subpar. This car could easily be bought now and sold for a profit in the spring with minimal work. The clear Ohio title, pictured below, shows the miles to be "actual." Please peruse the many photos below to get a true sense of this Corvette.
"The Corvette evolution continues" announced the slogan from the 1979 Corvette sales catalog. The L-48 engine received the dual-snorkel air intake introduced in 1978 for the optional L82 V-8, which added 10 horsepower. All Corvettes in 1979 now had the high-back bucket seats introduced on the 1978 limited-edition Indianapolis 500 Pace Car. A higher pivot point allowed the seat backrest fold more flat and level with the luggage area floor. which drastically improved access to the rear storage area.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call. Exterior The red exterior paint job looks in person as it does in the photos. It has nice luster and gloss, but has many imperfections. The paint job appears to be relatively fresh, but not of the highest quality. There are no major imperfections that have been excluded from the photos. This Corvette came equipped with aluminum wheels, which are in nice condition with absolutely no curb rash. The frame is solid with no rust in front of the rear tires.
Window Date Codes Windshield: TJ - "T" denotes August and "J" denotes 1978 meaning this piece of glass was made in August of 1978.
Driver's: UJ - "U" denotes July and "J" denotes 1978 meaning this piece of glass was made in July of 1978.
Passenger: TJ - "T" denotes August and "J" denotes 1978 meaning this piece of glass was made in August of 1978.
Rear: IJ - "I" denotes June and "J" denotes 1978 meaning this piece of glass was made in August of 1978.
Please note that all of the glass on this car is date coded and original as all pieces predate the car's body build date of September 8, 1978. Original glass is an indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.
Interior The interior on this Corvette is in excellent driver condition. The black leather seats show no wear and look literally brand new. The seat is not worn through in the typical places, such as where the driver gets in and out of the car. The carpet is in nice condition. This includes the rear carpet with is often neglected. There are no major rips or stains in the carpet. The aftermarket radio will turn on and illuminate, but asks for a code, which I do not have. The t-top storage bags are also included with the car. The interior looks just as good in person as it does in the photos.
Mechanical This car is in decent mechanical condition. The car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles well. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. There are no issues that immediately affect the drivability of the car. The car drives well and it is smooth on the road. The transmission shifts as it should throughout the power band. With all that said, there is still some work left to be done to the car. Some of the issues include a loud noises from the starter, indicating it needs to be adjusted, the weather-stripping, and some leaks. There are also some options on the car that no longer work such as the clock, blower motor, misc lights, horn, power locks, driver's window, cruise control, power antenna, etc. There may be other troubles with the car so I would suggest that any perspective buyer inspect the car in person if possible. None of the problems I have noticed make the car unusable in its current state, but in an attempt to be totally honest I must disclose them.
Overall Condition Overall this Corvette is in respectable condition. The car would make an excellent cruiser. It has become a classic Corvette. The value of these later C3 Corvette has increased rapidly in recent time making these excellent investment vehicles to own and enjoy. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a vintage Corvette at a very reasonable price. They are very much fun to drive and own. It is part of the American dream to own a Corvette. The Corvette always turns heads and is admired by every car enthusiast.
