my new 79
just purchases a 79 corvette.i have owned many corvettes this is only my second c3.i had a super nice 82 that was a great looking car but the crossfire just really did not impress me.i know these rubber bumper cars are not the most desireable corvettes.the car is a blast to drive and has power .it has a nicely modified 350 and great brakes.needs very little and I scored a super deal on the car.what do you guys think:cheers

Not the most desireable? Depends on who you ask, I have always liked the rubber bumper cars and never was impressed with the chrome bumpers. I like the 78-82's best for looks although in all honesty just the 78 and 79's. I know I am outnumbered but I get a bit tired of hearing that 79 isnt the most desireable, indeed it is the most desireable as proven by market sales, how can the least desireable 70's car be the biggest seller? I think it may not be the most collectable but as with ALL Corvette's it is desireable.

I daily drive my 79. I love that car. It was a PITA to get it reliable though haha. I hope you enjoy your new 79, and that it treats you well!
I love my 61, but for different reasons. There's nothing like driving an old Vette, no matter what year.
