Vehicle Description
This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette boasts a rare single-family lineage,
purchased new from Beaty Chevrolet in Knoxville. Its Cream Beige
exterior gleams in the sunlight, a testament to decades of
meticulous care. The C3's iconic silhouette remains as striking
today as it was in '81, with T-tops ready for open-air adventures.
Rolling on 15-inch wheels wrapped in beefy 225/70R15 rubber, this
Corvette combines classic style with road-gripping performance.
Chrome accents complement the sleek bodywork, creating a
quintessential American sports car aesthetic.
Medium Cinnabar leather adorns the interior, creating a
driver-focused environment built for serious motoring. Supportive
bucket seats keep you planted during spirited driving, while the
center console houses the shifter for the 3-speed automatic
transmission. An AM/FM radio stands ready to provide the soundtrack
for your journey. Power windows, locks, and steering offer
effortless control. The driver-oriented dash puts all gauges and
controls within easy reach, reinforcing the Corvette's
performance-first philosophy.
The original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 engine sits
proudly in the engine bay. This 190-horsepower powerplant, fed by a
single 4-barrel carburetor, delivers ample thrust for both cruising
and more aggressive driving. The automatic transmission shifts with
precision, allowing you to focus on the road ahead. Four-wheel disc
brakes provide confident stopping power, while the legendary
Corvette suspension - featuring coil springs up front and a
transverse leaf spring in the rear - delivers the handling prowess
this sports car is known for. A dual exhaust system provides a
fitting auditory complement to the V8's performance.
