Vehicle Description
1981 Red Corvette Coupe Beautiful original car with only 12k
miles!Red w/Red interior 350/190hp 4-speed manual transmission. The
last of the carbureted Corvettes! As production for the 3rd
generation Corvette was winding down advancements in performance
and fuel efficiency were on the rise. Fuel delivery systems a.k.a.
carburetors were slowly but surely being replaced with more
sophisticated set-ups like fuel injection and along with them came
engine management computers. First introduced in '80 for CA.
Corvettes computers (primitive as they were) became standard
equipment across the board in '81. So the writing was on the wall
for "old-school" carbs. And by '82 they were gone. It's not often
that we get in an '81 Corvette like the one presented here! Not
only is this an extremely low miles example with only 12k showing
on the odometer. It also happens to be in pristine original
condition! And to top it off it's equipped with a 4-speed manual
transmission! The '81's were the last "Sharks" available with a
4-spd. as well as a carburetor so it's truly a milestone Corvette
that runs and drives beautifully! This is one for the collectors!
Options include; 4-speed manual transmission. Power brakes. Power
steering. Power windows. Tilt/Tele steering column. Glass roof
panels. Leather seats. Aluminum wheels w/RWL radials. AM/FM stereo
8-track. Documentation includes the original owner's kit. The '81's
were also unusual in that it was the only Corvette to be built at
two different locations at the same time. The St. Louis MO. plant
and brand new (at the time) Bowling Green KY. plant. Visit Corvette
