1979 Chevrolet Corvette L-82

The shape and allure of a classic C3 Corvette are impossible for almost anyone to deny. Its iconic status has inspired books, songs, and fantasies of young children since 1953. One look at this numbers-matching 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82, decked out in its believed original Classic White exterior, and it is easy to see why. The sinewy Coke bottle shape, wonderfully practical T-top roof, and overall factory appearance of this 'Vette let you travel back in time to the back end of the third generation of Chevy's halo car.

Under the removable glass tops, inside, we find a contrasting black leather interior that appears to be stock, correct, and is most likely original. A tilt power-assisted steering wheel, power windows, and locks offer modern amenities for a late 1970s car. And while the belt is currently removed, this car is equipped with air conditioning. A retro-style head unit blends in nicely while offering AM/FM/AUX and Bluetooth connectivity to drastically expand your soundtrack choices.

Under the hood, we find a numbers-matching L82 350-cubic-inch V-8 topped by a single four-barrel Holley carburetor and a stock intake manifold. Long-tube headers flow into a dual FlowMaster exhaust, giving this small block the throaty growl it deserves. From the factory, the L82 produced 225 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, while this car's upgraded exhaust undoubtedly allows this car to make a bit more. Those ponies, whatever the number, are funneled through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the Corvette rear.
