Mechanical
1980 was notable because it was the last model year Corvette
without a computer, and ours has the rare 350 cubic inch L82 engine
under the hood that is the original numbers-matching engine with
its Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel.
It is all original looking too with its 4-barrel carb, finned
aluminum valve covers, black twin-snorkel air cleaner, factory
exhaust system with twin pipes out back and a great sound.
The engine bay is highly original with power four-wheel disc
brakes, power steering, backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission, R12 cooled air conditioning, and riding on the
Goodyear Eagle GT raised white-letter radial tires on the polished
factory Corvette wheels.
Interior
The 66k miles shown are believed authentic as you can see on the
engine, chassis, and the interior. It has a black leather interior
that looks very original with many options including power windows,
factory A/C, original AM/FM/ radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel,
factory center console that houses the automatic shifter, factory
dash with all the Corvette gauges, matching door panels, black
colored carpets, seatbelts, and an unbroken armrest.
Exterior
The C3 Corvettes were patterned after the Mako Shark II designed by
Larry Shinoda and built under Bill Mitchell's direction. The fender
flares were designed into the body contours, egg-crate grills with
matching front fender side vents and larger squared front
directional lamp were standard.
Our Corvette is covered in the Dark Claret Red factory paint in
2005 and has been garage kept and well preserved since and looks
great with its deep gloss and shine It has only been driven 1000
miles since 2000.
It has the Corvette hatchback that greatly improved the
aerodynamics, the chin spoiler up front, the ducktail spoiler out
back, and the T-tops up top. The trim looks good with the
blacked-out rocker panels as does the Corvette badges and
fiberglass stylish front and rear ends.
