Used 1979 Chevrolet Corvette for sale near Warren, OH

Recently bought a S580 from this dealership and I was blown away by their professionalism and their attention to detail. Chris made sure my experience was TOP NOTCH. They also made sure my purchase was to my liking and they had no issue in making sure my vehicle looked fresh off the showroom floor. The whole transaction was very smooth and I do intend on purchasing from there again very soon! So if you want a good experience and a good deal, definitely give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

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.

Here is a review of my start to finish process of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gateway. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. And the folder had everything I needed to register the car in my state. Wow! Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gateway again....they just operate in a different dealership style than what I'm used to, which is just fine.

enjoy driving this car, great for summer afternoon driving with tops out, gets lots of attention ,dont see to many of the old vettes

They were super helpful, but never found what I was looking for. Gateway said they would kept looking for me.

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.

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.

Very professional and patient with my schedule, and always disciplined in following up with my inquiries in a timely fashion.

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.

Felt like they were honest and trustworthy! They were helpful! Very professional and personable and caring!

Overall everything went well. The requesting of the original owner for the vehicle keys was never done as I was never notified of a reply.

Car was sold before I could go there due to working and it was exactly wat I wanted !

They were great!! They got right back to me and gave me all the details I needed!!
