1979 Corvette C3. 5. 7Ltr. 4speed Overdrive Auto

I purchased our C3 from a fellow Corvette Club member in 2013. he had owned it since 2007.

It has led a charmed life since being imported from Phoenix Arizona. being first registered in the UK in early 2006.

We were typically doing around 2000 miles a year. including a tour around Ireland (1300+ without an issue). it never fails to put a smile on my face.

With work and other commitments. the last 12 months we have only managed to do 200 miles. while I can happily sit and stare at the shape all day. it really deserves a new home that will use it more regularly than we have been able to do recently.

Deep glossy Black with Red leather interior. has to be the best colour combination!

Fitted with the Pace Car spoilers that were an option in 1979. smoked T tops. Factory Alloys with dummy spinners and wide BF Goodrich Radial T/A's (done around 2500 miles)

The running gear has been sympathetically improved; fitted with a brand new. genuine GM Goodwrench crate motor in 2010. with a new Edelbrock carb. Performer Alloy Intake. Hooker Headers to a chambered system that sounds fantastic.

Before arriving in the UK. the transmission was converted from the stock 3 speed Auto. to the popular 700R4 4 speed Overdrive transmission (overhauled in 2011). This is mated to a 4:11 LSD diff (overhauled in 2010). Despite running a 4:11 F/D. the Overdrive tranny allows it to cruise at 70MPH. turning only 2500RPM.

As you would expect from a genuine Dry State and pampered car. the floors. Birdcage and Chassis are excellent.

The interior was replaced in 2011 with new Leather seats (including new foams). Leather door cards and Carpet. In 2014 it was fitted with a retro style stereo with MP3/iPod interface (connection via the glovebox)

Electric Windows. Tilt/Tele column. PAS etc

Regularly serviced and maintained. last year it had a major service including transmission filter and oil and the diff oil (with correct LSD additive). it has just had its engine oil change for this year.

There is a thick folder of invoices. both from its time in Arizona and since it landed in the UK. UK invoices total over £10. 00 in parts and services.

The car is located in Stockport. near Manchester. 11 miles from Manchester Airport and 3 miles from Stockport Central train station.

£14. 95
