OK Paul. You caught me. Yes, that was the first year for the four-speed torque converter lock-up automatic (700-R4).

Sorry to All if I got carried away with the simple question. When I drove a 1979 I did a lot of trivia posts and to this day love Corvette history.
Went cruising today. I love it when a Corvette purrs.
