Welcome aboard! Only 2,426 1979s were produced in green. I don't recall ever seeing one. Post pics if you have them.

Of 53,807 1979 Corvettes produced, only 2,426 were painted Corvette Dark green. The interior options for that colour were black, dark green, light beige or oyster. Mixing those colour codes with the L (leather) and C (cloth) codes gives an impossibly complex combination that is lost in history, unfortunately.

On the pics, you have to upload to a host web site and transfer here. Send me a pic at my e-mail address (click on my handle) and I will do one for you.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm sure I'll really enjoy my time here. One question? Is it bad form to reply to each post or should I just use one to answer them all?

Hey Paul, I've seen this one guy here posting every now and then with dark green bone-stock-low-milage 1979 with original PC spoiler kit. I have some pictures of his car on my home computer looks really good! :cheers:
