Comments from the seller
1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 – extensively mechanically restored, with only approximately 680 km travelled since a complete engine rebuild.
Owned and cared for over the past 10 years, this Corvette has been a labour of love, with significant time and money invested in its mechanical restoration.
The focus has been on getting the difficult and expensive mechanical work completed while retaining the character of a classic American sports car.
Engine & mechanical work
* Original engine block completely rebuilt with new internal components
* Holley carburettor
* Edelbrock intake manifold
* Approximately 680 km travelled since engine rebuild
* Replacement radiator, fan hub and belt
* Replacement rear wheel bearings
* Replacement brake master cylinder and brake components
* Extensive additional electrical and mechanical work completed over the years
Features
* Original left-hand drive configuration
* Removable targa roof panels (T-tops)
* American Racing wheels
* Replacement interior carpet
* Classic C3 Corvette styling
Condition
This Corvette is a driver-quality classic rather than a concours show car.
Mechanically, significant restoration work has been undertaken, while the exterior paintwork and seats would benefit from further attention.
The body has some stone chips, scratches and general cosmetic wear consistent with its age and use. These have been factored into the asking price.
This is an opportunity for someone looking for a classic American Corvette with substantial mechanical work already completed, and the option to improve its appearance over time.
Genuine enquiries welcome. Happy to provide additional photographs and further information about the restoration work.
