For Sale: 1981 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

Here's an American icon in factory-correct colors loaded with great features like ice-cold air conditioning and the numbers-matching V8. So this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is already an attractive classic, and that's before you check out the affordable price.

There's a certain sophistication about this Corvette. The factory-correct Charcoal Gray is not as boisterous as some other hues, and it works particularly well on a later C3 like this with the body-colored bumpers. You may use the value price to update details or give this a respray, but there's a nice appeal to this one as it is right now. The gentlemanly color with a mature presentation seems like the right way to present a car coming off over three decades with the same family. And so the care is seen in the fit of the body panels, good glass, good weather-stripping, and flush resting headlight doors. So it's a fun driver with a well-presented history.

The silver/gray interior harmonizes nicely with the exterior color, making it even more fun to take the T-tops out and show the world the full-color package. Another reason why you'll be so eager to drive this one is because of all the great features. It comes with power windows, power locks, a tilt wheel, an electric rear defogger, and an AM/FM digital tuner with a cassette. We even have a receipt showing the air conditioning was serviced within the last few months to keep it blowing nice and cold. The overall impression will be a driver-quality style, and that's right for a driver-ready car. So you'll enjoy the high-back leather bucket seats, a three-spoke sports steering wheel, a tilt/telescopic column, and a full gauge package with the large speedometer and tachometer in front and a full gauge panel prominently to the side.

The numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. It has a terrifically stock presentation, including cool details like the finned valve covers and polished air topper. It is also a nice running package with newer details, like an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. This was one of the last years that Corvette could easily tune up and upgrade in your home garage. It's a good all-around cruiser with a three-speed automatic transmission, cruise control, and power steering. And the fully independent suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes make it particularly desirable for those who drive their classics.

The sale comes with the original window sticker and the owner's manual. This is a classic Corvette distinction available for an affordable price. So don't miss this deal. Call now!
