1979 Chevrolet

Corvette Coupe



What We Like

The Corvette is often referred to as “America’s Sports Car” due to a legendary history of rumbling V8 engines, athletic handling, and true racing pedigree. This red over red leather example sports late C3-chassis aerodynamic bodywork and is powered by an L48 350ci V8 paired with a factory-optional 3-speed Turbo Hydramatic transmission. Believed to be mechanically stock, modifications include a body-colored engine air cleaner and Pioneer stereo. An included second hood was reportedly signed by the 2015 Washington Redskins, before being auctioned off along with the Corvette in December 2015 with proceeds benefiting the Purple Heart Foundation. This Corvette presents the opportunity to purchase an iconic American car with an American football twist.
