Vehicle Description
***SALE PENDING*** One of only 5,069 L82's ordered in 1980, this
has got to be one of the nicest examples available today, showing
only 20,656 believed original miles! This car started out dark blue
over oyster leather, but the most recent owner opted for a stunning
Matrix Paints repaint in black, by a nationally recognized painter
- the results were gorgeous, and the car was featured in a Matrix
Paints commercial! To further protect this investment, the car was
professionally ceramic coated last fall, and the result is the
wettest, glossiest looking black paint we have seen in a long time!
Options on top of the L82 include power locks, cruise, rear
defogger, power antenna, and dual rear speakers. The stereo was
recently upgraded to a Kenwood CD unit, with new speakers. Standard
creature comforts include power steering, power brakes, power
windows, air conditioning, and tilt wheel. The clock is inop. The
interior is original, and the obvious lack of wear supports the low
mileage odometer reading. This is a fully turn key car that can be
driven anywhere, and would most certainly take top honors in any
local show or cruise night, with very little effort. Reasonable
offers encouraged, we can assist with financing/shipping, and we
sell world wide! The Chevrolet Corvette actually lost 250 lbs in
1980 due to thinner panels and glass. Overall sales dropped to
40,614 units for the year while the base price jumped four times,
from $13,140 to $14,345. The base 350 cubic-inch Chevy small-block
V-8 developed 190 bhp while the L82 was still available and offered
230 bhp for an extra $595. Only 5,069 buyers chose that motor.
Comfort and luxury features still ruled the day for the 1980
Chevrolet Corvette. Power windows, air-conditioning, and the
tilt-telescopic steering column were now included in the base
price.
