In ‘79 it would have been a 3 speed automatic. They didn’t start using the 4 speed auto until 1980.
Most Corvettes by 1980 were built fully loaded as GM was trying to hold interest in it due to the drop in performance after ‘73. A Corvette with manual windows and no A/C was great when you had a 427 and no emission controls what so ever. After the malaise era kicked in they needed something to keep people buying it. That’s really how it became the high tech car we’ve known it for the last 20+ years for. It wasn’t always that way.
