Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful 1980
Corvette in spectacular condition with only 45,643 original miles.
This Corvette looks fantastic, runs great, and is an excellent
driver. The Frost Beige (59) over Doeskin interior (592) is a very
desirable and beautiful color combination that looks stunning on
the car. It is also the correct and original color scheme as
verified by the codes on the trim tag, which is pictured in this
ad. Frost Beige/Doeskin has become very popular and sought after in
the current Corvette market. 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. In our
experience the 1980 and 1981 model years draw a good premium over
other late C3 Corvettes; this is especially true for very low
mileage examples like this car. The low original mileage is
verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear
Ohio title, pictured in this ad, showing the mileage as "Actual."
Please peruse all of the photos, video, and information to get a
true sense of how nice, clean, and original this Corvette really
is.
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 Frost Beige exterior is in excellent driver condition. As one
can see in the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, deep shine,
and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely. The 17 inch
chrome wheels are in like-new condition with a brilliant finish and
no curb rash; they really compliment the look of the car and give
it a very nice stance. The Continental tires have about 95% tread
left. There are no cracks in the glass T-Tops. There are no major
imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the
photos. There is one blemish on the hood and 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 many photos of the underside of the car, it
is very clean and this Corvette has absolutely NO RUST ISSUES. The
frame is totally solid with no rust around the "key hole" area in
front of the rear tire and I have seen no evidence of corrosion
around the windshield, which are the two most notorious spots for
rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included specific photos of the
areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.
Interior
The Doeskin interior in this Corvette is in outstanding condition.
The seats are in excellent shape and look as good in person as they
do in the photos with just a very small amount of wear in the
typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. The
gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are crystal clear.
The carpet is also in excellent condition with no major stains,
holes, or tears. This includes the rear carpet, which is often
neglected. The door panels are in nice shape overall with minimal
wear and the door pulls are solid and intact. The jack and jack
handle are still with the car, stored correctly behind the
passenger seat. The original spare is still with the car and has
never been used. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are
no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes.
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 and another great verification of the very low original
mileage.
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 in this ad 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. This Corvette has plenty of power and is quite fast. Also,
the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct
as one can see in the photos.
The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights,
wipers, power windows, and rear window defogger. The blower for the
heater and a/c works on all speeds. The a/c also works and blows
cold. One can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and engaging
properly in the video. 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. All
of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. Not
enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this
car, especially with the T-tops out on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1980 Corvette is in magnificent driver condition. The
beautiful original color combination, the excellent overall
condition, and the very low mileage 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.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
