FOR SALE – 1979 Chevrolet Corvette | RHD Conversion | L48 350ci V8 | Automatic
BERNIE SMITH CLASSIC CARS – PH 0418 399 392
A clean and well-presented example of the late C3-generation Corvette, finished in a stunning metallic bronze over matching brown trim. Converted to right-hand drive, this Corvette blends timeless American muscle design with Australian drivability.
Powered by the L48 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with an automatic transmission, it performs strongly with a healthy, reliable motor and smooth delivery. Mechanically excellent throughout, it drives beautifully and sounds fantastic through its fully functional side pipes.
The paintwork presents to an great standard, rated 8/10 overall, with a deep, consistent gloss finish. The burgundy interior remains tidy and largely original, showing light patina consistent with age. This example also includes three roof options — the original factory T-top panels, a set of glass T-top panels, and a removable canvas top, offering exceptional versatility and presentation.
Accompanied by a library of receipts and documentation, this Corvette has clearly been well maintained and cared for over the years — an honest, clean example ready to be enjoyed or shown.
