BERNIE SMITH CLASSIC CARS – PH 0418 399 392
An exceptionally striking and well-presented 1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray, finished in Platinum Silver with contrasting red leather interior. This example captures everything the late C3 Corvette is known for: timeless American styling, strong V8 performance and an unmistakable road presence.
Powered by the desirable L82 350ci V8 paired with an automatic transmission, the Corvette delivers smooth torque and relaxed cruising, defining the classic American grand touring experience. With its long bonnet, muscular stance and removable Targa roof, this is a true performance icon from the golden era of Corvette.
Originally imported from Las Vegas in 1992, this Corvette underwent a full body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration in 2018 and is showing 68,501 miles, with just over 4,000 miles travelled since the restoration. The paintwork has been finished in multiple coats of Glasurit Platinum Silver and clear, presenting with excellent depth and gloss throughout. The car presents extremely well inside and out and is genuinely impressive in person.
The vehicle has previously been registered in New South Wales and has also been registered in Victoria as a right-hand drive vehicle, reflecting the quality and compliance of the professional mirror-image conversion.
The interior features red leather trim, factory-style instrumentation, power steering, power windows and air conditioning. A discreet Bluetooth sound system has been fitted, retaining the original appearance while adding modern usability. The vehicle is supplied with Targa tops and padded storage bags.
The Corvette is accompanied by a large history file containing receipts and documentation, reflecting the quality of the restoration and ongoing care.
A rare, eye-catching and well-sorted C3 Corvette Stingray — Inspections will not disappoint.
