Hello everyone,
I bought my 79 a few weeks ago and was wondering what the color is called. It is a copper/bronze color like the new vette, is this a proper 79 color option ?

I also bought mine with a worn out interrior so I could do it the way I want it, all BLACK ! I need a pair of seats tooif anyone has a set.

 

Could not find anything that documents any type of copper/bronze color in '79.

 

According to the Corvette Registry site, 1979 had:

wrwalke,

Thank you for the info, sorry it took so long to reply. It turns out Ihave a repainted car,the codes say it was originally a light beige with a beige interrior. I guess the copper/bronze with black interrior will look pretty good when I'm done, although not original, it's not really a low production # car anyway. I will post some photos when done.
Thanks again,
Puppychow
