Vehicle Description
Usually the numbers-matching part of the motor would be the largest
attraction to a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette, but not this one. That's
because you can see something extra on top of this original V8. And
while this one has the unmistakable bulge of supercharged power,
there is a ton more that make this value-priced classic one of the
hottest deals going.
Yes, that big and bold air grabber is grabbing our attention, too,
but we'll get to all those details in a moment. What's worth
mentioning first is the quality that surrounds it. This was given a
respray of its factory-correct metallic silver later in life. Plus,
there's a great set of satin black dual stripes painted on top -
and they took their time so that it even runs over the T-tops when
the roof is in place. It's that kind of detail work you'll see
throughout. The headlight openings fit flush, rubber seals are
good, and the door shut with authority. Plus, we love how the shine
of the classic Cragar SS wheels go with the big, bold air
scoop.
Inside is a pair of tan bucket seats that stand out nicely in the
sea of black. And because this is a later C3, these seats also fold
flat to give you terrific access to the rear storage. You get nice
features like power windows, cruise control, and an upgraded
AM/FM/CD stereo. But really, this is a driver's car at its heart.
You'll love the grip of the three-spoke ports steering wheel. It
gives you an excellent view of the large speedo and tach. Plus, to
your side is full array of auxiliary gauges. In the middle of the
hood you might have spotted the boost gauge, which is just another
reminder of the beast powering this classic Corvette.
While this is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch block, you want
this one for more than just history. There is a huge receipt file
documenting the investments it took to transform this V8 into a
shining symbol of serious power. It starts with a large Holley 750
CFM four-barrel carburetor that feeds the Weiand 6-71 supercharger.
And something of this stature has been fortified and enhanced
further with Edelbrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, Comp Cams
camshaft, cast calve covers, upgraded pulleys/bracket, Mallory
ignition, and a large aluminum radiator. Plus, the long tube
headers do a great job of adding power while also announcing this
Corvette's thunder to the world. And when you have this much power
in an American muscle machine, you expect it to be a wild child.
But since this is a Corvette, you get great features like the fully
independent suspension, power steering, three-speed automatic
transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes. So this is one high
horsepower classic that's easy to control.
This is the one with speed and stance. So when it's also available
right now for such an nice price, you know you need to hurry to
grab this deal. Call today!!!
