1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82

This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 350ci L82 V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction differential, and it rides on an FE7 suspension and 15″ eight-slot alloy wheels. The car wears a repaint in dark blue, and the exterior features removable roof panels, while inside, the cabin has been reupholstered and is outfitted with cruise control, air conditioning, and power windows. Purchased in 2020 by the current owner, this C3 Corvette shows 3k miles and is now offered on dealer consignment by a BaT Local Partner with a framed build sheet and a clean North Carolina title.

The car was finished from the factory in Dark Blue (83U), and the selling dealer notes signs of a repaint. Exterior details include a power antenna, removable roof panels, pop-up headlights, side marker lights, fender air vents, and quad taillights. Paint waves are reported.

The 15″ eight-slot alloy wheels are mounted with 255/60 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The car is equipped with an FE7 suspension, while braking is handled by four-wheel power-assisted discs.

The bucket seats were trimmed from the factory in Oyster leather, and they have been recovered. The dashboard, center console lid, and door panels are color-coordinated, and Corvette-branded mats line the footwells. The rear cargo area has a retractable cover, and additional interior details include a Delco push-button AM/FM stereo, a rear window defogger, cruise control, air conditioning, and power windows and locks.

The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel is mounted on a tiling and telescoping column, and it frames a 140-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level are located in the center stack along with a clock. The five-digit odometer shows 3k miles.

The 350ci L82 V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and an aluminum intake manifold and was factory rated at 225 horsepower.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction differential. Corrosion is visible on underside components.

The framed build sheet lists factory colors and equipment.
