  • 79 vette

    I just bought about 12 of old muscle cars and one is a 79 vette and it has a 454 in it. Did those come with the 454 in that year? Its a nice car.

        Yep.... my '80 had the L-48 auto. nice cruiser.... definately not a rocket.

        Now on the flip side, my 79 L-82 4 speed was redone with 350 HP and a 4:10 gear. That car hauled butt! Probably the 2nd most fun driving vette that I owned.

            Exactly what I was just thinking!

            If you don't mind, what did you pick up....curious on what cars someone chooses when he buys 12 of them

              The Vette did not have a 454 since 1974. I had a 396 in '65 a 427 from 66 thru 69 and a 454 from '70 thru '74. I'm a Vette nut if you didn't notice!

                      Wow! That's an amazing collection. Do they need some TLC or are they in good shape?

                        No there in very good shape! I dont have the skill or the time to work on those types of projects, but it would be cool if I could. Turn-key!
