Vehicle Description
An American icon in its factory-correct full midnight package and
loaded with great features like ice-cold air conditioning. And it
even has ultra-low mileage on its original V8. So, this 1981
Chevrolet Corvette is already an attractive classic, and that's
before you checked out the affordable price.
There's a certain sophistication about this Corvette. The
factory-correct black retains a high level of gloss and shine. It
allows the sunlight to highlight the nicely-creased curves of this
machine - so it looks like it's wearing a well-tailored business
suit. And as you get up close, you realize that the way the doors
shut with authority, the clean glass, and the flush-fitting
headlights are all part of a highly detailed package that tells you
this car has been cared for correctly. Even the optional aluminum
wheels have kind of superior shine that comes from mature
ownership. That's why it seems quite believable when the consignor
state the mileage is accurate, and this has averaged less than 730
miles annually.
Inside, the black bucket seats weigh less than earlier C3s, and
they fold flush with the rear trunk area for better cargo
functionality. Like any good premium Corvette of this era, it comes
loaded with power windows, power locks, tilt wheel, electric rear
defogger, and an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo. The power driver's
seat gets you in the ideal position for the three-spoke sports
steering wheel. Beyond that is the large speedometer and tachometer
package in front and a full gauge panel prominently to the side.
You can show this fantastically dark interior to the world as you
go cruising around with the T-tops off. There's even ice-cold air
conditioning running modern R134a, so you can stay open to the
world all summer long.
The 350 cubic-inch V8 has a terrifically stock presentation, right
down to the courtesy light and the "Keep your GM car all GM" decal
on the air topper. And this tidy setup is no accident. You're
looking at the original numbers-matching motor, and the good care
combines with the low mileage to deliver a time capsule engine bay.
The V8 inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and that
gives a fine sports car sound out of the dual exhaust tips. And the
fully independent sports suspension and four-wheel disc brakes mean
you can have maximum fun on the roads. But more than just good for
performance, this one can also be a nice car for the long trips.
That's thanks to features like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and cruise control.
The sale comes complete with great paperwork, including the
original window sticker, factory buildsheet, and owner's manual. So
this classic Corvette is the full midnight sophistication package
offered at quite a nice price. Don't miss out, call today!
