Vehicle Description
The C3 Corvette is the longest running, perhaps most frequently
redesigned iterations of an American icon. From 1968 to 1982, the
Corvette received a variety of subtle facelifts and styling changes
that eventually made the first and final years entirely different
cars. Because of this, it is very easy to have a specific C3
Corvette year preference. Many Corvette enthusiasts are polarized
one way or the other on certain models; while some seek out chrome
bumper cars, others prefer the later plastic bumper cars. The same
goes for this beautiful yellow 1980 Chevrolet Corvette L48 you see
here; while some prefer earlier models, many seek out the neat rear
window that became a common sight on Corvettes of the late
1970s.
This 1980 Corvette is a factory yellow on Oyster car that looks
just ravishing in the combination. The exterior is eye-catching, as
any Corvette should be, and the vibrant yellow is a wonderful
change from the silver, gray, and other less bright colors often
seen on Corvettes of this vintage. The yellow and factory aluminum
wheels really complement each other well, and this Corvette is
bound to be a head-turner! The recent repaint is in excellent
condition, and this car is ready to cruise. The side pipes are a
nice touch and the only non-factory OEM item on the car (though
they are GM licensed reproductions for a 1969 Corvette). The
original pipes are included with the sale. All exterior components
such as trim, emblems, handles, etc. are in excellent condition. We
have a lot of C3 Corvettes come through here, and this may just be
the nicest 1980 Corvette we have ever seen! The vibrant yellow
paint color isn't just eye-catching because it is bright; this is a
rare color! Right around 5% of 1980 Corvettes produced were this
color, making it the second lowest-production paint color.
The interior is finished in what GM called "Oyster," a vibrant
off-white shade that really pops inside a bright yellow 'Vette!
Other interior features include A/C, tilt and telescopic column,
rear window defrost, cargo shade, power locks, power windows, and a
power radio antenna for the OEM AM/FM/Cassette player. In the trunk
you'll find a spare, jack, and t-top covers.
Under the hood is a tried and true Chevrolet 350 V8 engine. It
looks like brand-new! This is a vehicle that has been meticulously
kept as factory appearing as possible. It even has the correct
heater hoses! Don't worry, this Corvette runs as good as it looks.
The engine bay is clean and complete, and the engine purrs just
like it should. Additionally, the engine is the correct engine for
the car with the correct air cleaner, carburetor, intake manifold,
valve covers, and even ignition shielding. This Corvette is fully
functional and truly a turn-key classic! The underside is nearly as
clean as the top, with many new OEM and reproduction components
keep the bone-stock factory correct look throughout. This is a GM
car that has been kept all GM with AC Delco parts!
If you're looking for a nice quality C3 'Vette that will draw a
crowd anywhere you go, you'll want to consider this one. It needs
nothing but a new driver, and is the poster child of the 1980s!
This is a fun little head-turner with that classic early 1980s
style.
