Corvette C3 of the Week

My first
Corvette. It only took me 30 years after wanting the one at Quirk Chevy when
I bought my '79 Camaro. At 19 I just couldn't afford the Corvette then. I
finally got my '79 Vette. I purchased the car in April 2008 from what I
believe was the forth owner. It was sold through RC Chevrolet in Hillside,
NJ. It is a 1979 L82 with matching numbers and just over 65,000 miles on it.
It is now a daily driver, weather permitting. It spent the first two months
of my ownership at John's Corvette in Laconia, NH just making it road worthy.
I rescued it from three years of hibernation and everything was leaking,
rubber was rotted, timing was way off, and the list goes on. It is still the
original Light Beige exterior and Oyster interior. Emissions stuff has been
stripped off by a previous owner. Exhaust is 1974 dual. Options on the car
include AC, PB, PS, Tilt & Telescope Wheel, Leather Seats, Gymkhana
Suspension, Sport Mirrors, Rear Defrost, 3 speed AT, L82, and Cruise. Never
tried the AC or Cruise control but everything else works.
