For Sale: 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette delivers added muscle with a ZZ4 V8 crate motor. Plus, a cool color combo and an even cooler A/C interior make this a well-upgraded classic that's a blast to drive.

This Corvette's shade of maroon stays close to factory-correct Dark Claret, and so it signals this has been given a good respray later in life. It strikes the right tone of a glossy finish that looks good on a sunny Sunday drive in an overall style that won't make you nervous to cruise all weekend long. After all, a proper Corvette is a driver's car. These later C3s have sleeker elements and a more modern look than the cars of the earlier years. So it's good to have clean and straight panels to show off details like the color-matched front end and full-width spoiler. While the modern look means opting out of most chrome, the optional aluminum wheels make sure you have plenty of brightwork to be a true all-American.

The maroon continues inside, and the way the different tones all harmonize gives this classic American a European kind of sophistication. So you'll happily take the T-tops out to show off the full package. And with cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, it really makes it easy to stay comfortable while open to the world. This has the right premium factory details, like leather upholstery, power windows, power locks, electric rear defogger, and a tilt/telescope wheel. Plus, there are the right upgrades, like the AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth. That radio has a cool blue glow that goes well with the full digital gauge package upgrade.

While you've already seen some nice additions to this car, the best one is under the hood. You still have a 350 cubic-inch V8, but now this is a younger ZZ4 performance crate motor. The powerful V8 inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburetor. It exhales with added authority and power as headers feed into a rather straight set of exhaust pipes on their way to the Flowmasters. And the fully independent sports suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes mean you can have maximum fun on the roads. But more than just good for performance, this one can also be a nice car for long trips thanks to features like power steering and the three-speed automatic transmission.

Complete with owner's manual, this C3 has the style, power, and features to provide value well beyond its affordable price. It's the kind of obtainable total package that will be going fast, so don't miss out. Call now!
