If it hadn’t been for a Corvette, we might not be blasting “Life in the Fast Lane” out of our mid-engine Stingray speakers some 45 years later.

Corvettes for Sale: 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 4-Speed on BaT Auctions


Looking back, it’s hard to believe that Chevrolet sold more Corvettes in 1979 than any year in its history, especially considering the anemic performance of the base 195 horsepower 350 V8 engine.
