This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette captures the final evolution of the legendary C3 generation, blending classic 1970s design with the refinement that came at the end of the Stingray era. Finished in striking white over a bold red interior, the car delivers one of the most iconic color combinations ever offered on a Corvette. With just 48,000 miles shown, it presents as a well-preserved example of America’s sports car at a turning point between muscle-car heritage and modern performance thinking.
Under the hood is Chevrolet’s 5.7-liter small-block V8, delivering the unmistakable sound and character that made the Corvette a cultural symbol. Paired with a smooth Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, this C3 offers an authentic period driving experience—long hood, low seating position, and effortless V8 torque. Power steering and power brakes make it approachable and usable, whether cruising the coast or carving through weekend back roads.
Inside, the red interior sets the tone with pure late-’70s flair. The cockpit is wrapped in deep colors, aircraft-inspired shapes, and electronic-era instrumentation that marked Chevrolet’s push toward a more futuristic Corvette. Power windows, a Delco AM/FM stereo, and supportive bucket seats create a cabin that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly comfortable. Removable glass T-top roof panels transform the car instantly from coupe to open-air cruiser, letting light flood the interior and turning every drive into an event.
More than just a classic, this Corvette represents a preserved piece of American automotive history—the closing chapter of the C3 and the last breath of the true disco-era Stingray. Its low indicated mileage, striking white-over-red color combination, and largely original character make it an excellent candidate for both collectors and drivers alike. With its timeless styling, unmistakable V8 character, and growing appreciation for late-C3 models, this 1979 Corvette is well positioned as a smart acquisition in today’s classic market.
