It was the company’s biggest output since its debut, shipping 53,807 Corvettes for this model year. A major milestone was also achieved by the Corvette. Even though it was now nearly $10,000 more expensive, the base model continued to sell incredibly well.
The 1979 Chevy Corvette offers a rare chance to inspect and potentially own one of the few all-original, unrestored examples left. The odometer shows only 25,000 miles, and Future Classics, responsible for finding a new owner, claims these miles are original.
The car came off the assembly line with features borrowed from the 1978 Indy Pace Car, such as the T-Top mirror-tint roof panels and bucket seats. The rarest feature of this Corvette is likely its color combination, and I hope you can help determine its rarity. It left the factory painted in Dark Green Metallic (paint code 58) with a Dark Green leather interior.
The original L82 350ci V8 engine is still under the hood, and given the car’s condition, it starts, runs, and drives correctly. It’s paired with an automatic transmission. The interior includes factory-installed air conditioning, dual rear speakers, a stereo player, and electric dual sport mirrors.
Let’s discuss the price. As mentioned, the 1979 Corvette set a new high for pricing with a base price over $10,000. Today, this model is surprisingly affordable, considering its condition. The garage is asking $21,900 for this exceptional Vette and is open to other offers. Contact them to discuss the details of a purchase, and make sure to take it home on a trailer to preserve its low mileage.
