Would not recommend buying from this dealer.

Would not recommend buying from this dealer. I asked about the price and they added on lojack to the car without asking if i wanted it, only to jack up the price. They also have ridiculous dealer delivery fees.

Beautiful Car

1979 Corvette has been in family for quite a while. Beautiful two tone interior. Car has held up over the years really well and is still a head turner.

Great,reliable sports car.

Very reliable and fun to drive. Great value.Solid ride and good brakes. L82 engine is bullet proof as well as the borg warner four speed transmission. Excellent for the young car person on a budget.

Goes up in value

Nice car, fast and a head turner. This is one of the nicer corvette's you will ever see. Has a good combination of power options and older features.

good car

Fun to drive. Could use an upgrade fuel injection. When i bought the car from an owner since 1983 i went through the car mechanically and haven't had to repair anything in years. It's been very reliable. Being a mechanic for 35 years helped alot! I rebuilt the front end,resealed the engine and replaced some parts like new timing chain when i replaced front seal, a hurst shifter and new clutch,all new brakes with oring upgrade kits,all new a/c parts and much more and that was 9 years ago. I drive the car about 2500 miles per year.This is a perfect rust free original garage kept survivor. It's up for sale now but people won't pay much for one and they don't understand the entire refurbish job i did and how much work that is and how much they would have to pay to have the work done. So they buy one that needs alot of work done and find out how much it will cost them.

Does what it was built to do.

The Corvette was built to be a good looking, high performance car and it delivers. The Corvette I have currently for sell is one of the most fun cars to drive I've ever owned and I've owned many. It looks fast sitting still and when that engine is fired up it sounds like it is ready to go into orbit.
