Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is happy to present this
classic 1980 Chevrolet Corvette. Powered by the L48 350CID V8 and
paired up to the 4-speed manual transmission, this is the epitome
of what Corvette cruising was all about in 1980. The high-gloss
black paint over the long, stretched fiberglass body, the mirrored
T/Tops, the 2-tone interiors... THIS was Corvette in 1980! For the
1980 model, there were many weight-saving components that were
introduced, including thinner body panels and an aluminum Dana-44
IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) differential and crossmember, all
in the name of trimming down the extra bulk to offset the fact that
the early '80s vehicles were being heavily burdened by the EPA.
Regardless of the era, Corvettes have always stood the test of time
and have remained one of the most desirable automobiles ever
produced, and this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette is yet another example
of the type of vehicle that everyone wanted to be seen in!
