Each one of us has his/her own vintage car favorite! And I happen to love the 1979 Chevrolet Corvette! The classic mean machine… the road monster… sexy… and the muscle of all muscles! The ’79 Corvette has taken control of just about anything taming its competition like a pet dog!

Here are some bits of the 1979 Corvette history provided by 100MeqsFree4.com. Let’s check it out:

• A tagline that says, "The Corvette evolution continues," declared the 1979 Corvette sales catalog.
• Evolution was not that much visible but after the previous year’s massive restyle, it has totally evolved!
• The base engine received the dual-snorkel air intake unveiled in 1978 for the optional L82 V-8, which added 10 horsepower.
• The L82 V-8 had a higher-lift cam, special heads with larger valves and higher compression, impact-extruded pistons, a forged steel crankshaft, and finned aluminum rocker covers.
• The "Y" pipe exhaust system had new open-flow mufflers, while the automatic transmission received a higher numerical (3.55:1) rear axle ratio.
• All Corvettes now had the high-back bucket seats introduced on the 1978 limited-edition Indianapolis 500 Pace Car.
• A high pivot point let the seat backrest fold flat on the passenger side, level with the luggage area floor.
• An AM/FM radio was now standard to this ride. Talk about the 70s music…anyway, Corvettes had black roof panel and window moldings.
• Bolt-on front and rear spoilers (also from the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car) became available.
• Buyers who didn’t want the full Gymkhana suspension could now order heavy-duty shocks alone.
• Standard equipment consists of the L48 V-8 with four-barrel carburetor, an automatic transmission or a four-speed manual gear box (close-ratio version available), power four-wheel disc brakes and limited-slip differential.
• Other standard items included tinted glass; a front stabilizer bar; concealed windshield wipers and washers; a day/night inside mirror; a wide outside mirror; an anti-theft alarm system; a four-spoke sport steering wheel; an electric clock; a trip odometer; a heater and defroster; bumper guards, and a luggage security shade.
• The standard tires were P225/70R1 5 steel-belted radial blackwalls on 15 x 8-inch wheels.
• Corvettes had a four-wheel independent suspension.
• The bucket seats came with cloth-and-leather or all-leather trim.
• The aircraft-type console held a 7,000-rpm tachometer, a voltmeter and oil-pressure, temperature and fuel gauges.
• Seat inserts could have either leather or cloth trim.

The ten body colors are:
