Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this numbers matching 1981
Corvette in fantastic condition with only 62,925 original miles.
This Corvette looks fantastic, runs great, and is an excellent
driver. The classic White (10) over Medium Red Leather (752) is a
beautiful color combination that looks great on the car, the red
interior really sets this car apart. It is also the correct and
original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag,
which is pictured below. This is an excellent opportunity to own a
classic Corvette that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an
unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for
more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on the
1980 and 1981 Corvettes is strong right now and on the rise. The
low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the
car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured below, showing the
mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, the extensive
list of numbers, video, and information below to get a true sense
of how nice, clean, and original this Corvette really is.
There is copy of the Autocheck report on this car pictured below. The report shows no accident history and verifies the low original mileage.
This Corvette is loaded with great options such as power seat, power locks, N90 aluminum wheels, and the glass T-Tops. The car is also completely numbers matching with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the engine block and the main case of the transmission indicating the engine and transmission are the original units installed in the car new at the factory. The paint and trim codes are also correct for the car. Even items like the carburetor, intake, distributor, alternator, and even the starter are all correct and original with the right part numbers and appropriate dates.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The White exterior is in excellent driver condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. The N90 aluminum wheels and center caps are in beautiful condition with a brilliant finish and no major curb rash. The tires have about 90% tread left and are correctly sized 255/60R15. Also, the tires have a Chevy Bowtie logo in the white letters, which is neat little detail. There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There are some very tiny blemishes that were too small to show up in the pictures, but nothing that is really noticeably from about five or ten feet away. As one can see in the photos of the underside, this Corvette is clean underneath. The frame is looks good around the "key hole" area in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evidence of corrosion on the "A" pillars, which are the most common areas for rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included many photos of the underside to show how nice it looks.
The car looks just as good in person as it does in the photos.
Interior
The Red Leather interior in this Corvette is in spectacular condition. The seats look virtually brand new with no rips or split seams. They are not worn in the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. The carpet is good condition with no holes or tears. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the gauge lenses are crystal clear. The door panels are in great shape overall and the door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console look awesome with no cracks or sun fading. A jack and jack handle are with the car, stored correctly behind the passenger seat. The original spare is still with the car and has never been used. Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life.
The interior looks just as good in person as it does in the photos.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles well. It drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no vibrations or strange noises and the car performs quite well overall. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The brakes were recently serviced by the previous owner. This Corvette has plenty of power and is quite fast. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean and detailed as one can see in the photos. Even the smog pump and catalytic converter are still in place.
The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, wipers, power windows, and power seat in all 6 directions. All of the gauges work. The vacuum system for the headlights works correctly. Also, the headlights go up properly with either the headlight switch or vacuum override switch. There complete operation form both switches can be viewed in the video below. The a/c works and blows cold, one can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and engaging properly in the video. The blower works on all speeds but high. The power locks and the check engine light do not work. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with Gymkhana Suspension and the T-tops out on a beautiful day.
The car runs and drives as well as it looks.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1981 Corvette is in magnificent driver condition. Numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing and as any buyer can see this Corvette is extremely correct. The originality, the beautiful color combination, the excellent overall condition, and the great extent to which the numbers match make this car especially important and hard to duplicate. This Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of C3 Corvettes have increased considerably over the past several years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
