Description of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Factory |
|
Imagine the sexiest year of the curvy corvettes... then taking this broken old dog and turning it into a rubber burning blast to drive! This has been a labor of love and pain for the last four years, and alas it has to go to make room for a more 'fatherly' vehicle. I have more than $45k invested in this baby between parts and shop time. I may cry when she finally leaves! Black 1979 Chevrolet Corvette T-Top. 4553 miles on the whole car after the rebuild and new engine. 86,000 original miles before complete rebuild. Video walkaround More photos Work that has been done to the old girl: Frame off RestorationOriginal 350 small block - complete 383 stroker motor conversion.Aluminum twisted headsHooker headers, jethot coatedRichmond 5 speed manual transmission --- Try to find another stick shift C3 corvette! You won't find one anywhere, because they barely made any. We retro-fitted this rocket with a five speed stick that makes it a beast to drive.
