Vehicle Description
Highly original, nicely optioned, and well-documented, this 1981
Chevrolet Corvette is value-priced so it can be taken to the next
level, but then again, this one might really be for someone who
knows that a classic 'Vette appreciates its history.
The later C3s are arguably the best design in the whole Corvette
line. The urethane front and rear allowed the style to flow like a
continuous wave from bumper to bumper. And the factory-correct Dark
Blue Metallic makes this look like a midnight ocean surf. But what
should really have you attracted to this one is the way it looks.
All signs point to original paint on this coupe. It's far from
perfect, but that also gives it the barn find look that's popular
today. More than just an intriguing level of originality, this one
has an undeniable attraction that comes from pieces like the
optional polished alloys and full factory bodykit with
well-integrated spoiler. And the way the panels fit together so
well, it gives this survivor-grade car a true dignified
presentation.
You have your choice between the original color-matched T-tops or
glass T-tops, but really, this one looks the best with them left in
the included storage bags. That's because the dark blue interior is
a nice complementing color to the exterior. And also, just like the
exterior, this is highly original. It's a well-optioned machine
with leather bucket seats, power windows, power locks, tilt
steering wheel, cruise control, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo,
and provisions for factory air conditioning. You'll even see the
handy addition of cup holder on the center console. Even with these
luxury items, your favorite part will be grabbing the
leather-wrapped sports steering wheel and looking over the
driver-oriented dash. It puts a large speedo and tach directly in
front of you, and to the side, all your auxiliary readouts are at
eye level.
There's more great correct style under the hood with a 350
cubic-inch V8 that's believed to be original to the car. This car
has been under correct maintenance, and the way the motor fires up
strong prove it. The respected feeling is furthered by the tight
feeling on the road. Plus, with power steering, a three-speed
automatic transmission, fully-independent suspension, and
four-wheel disc brakes, this low-mileage Corvette is ready for the
grand tour.
The sale comes with a ton of paperwork, including the factory
buildsheet, original dealer invoice, owner's manual, ownership
history, and more. There's a terrific originality and spirit in
this distinct Corvette, and at a value price like this, the sky's
the limit. Call today!!!
