Details
This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette is a rare find, featuring a numbers-matching drivetrain and a 4-speed manual transmission—one of only 5,726 4-speeds produced out of 40,614 total Corvettes that year. 1980 also marked the final year before Corvettes began incorporating computer controls, making this a true enthusiast’s car. The odometer shows just 19,139 miles on the dash (title is exempt for mileage).
Finished in a striking color combination with an Oyster leather interior, this Corvette is well-equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows, factory A/C, and a tilt and telescopic steering column. It rides on factory alloy wheels and includes an AM/FM/Cassette stereo. Under the hood, you’ll find original details like the valve covers, air cleaner assembly, and ignition shielding. A set of Hooker Header Side Pipes adds a deep exhaust note and performance flair.
This Corvette comes with an interesting ownership history—the previous owner bought it from his boss, who had owned it since new. It has been well-maintained over the years and recently received several important mechanical updates. We performed an oil and filter change, checked and lubricated the chassis, and replaced the idler arm, radiator, rear brake calipers, brake pads, brake lines, and brake hoses, among other items.
Overall, this Corvette runs, drives, and shifts nicely, and would make a fun and nostalgic cruiser for any enthusiast. With its rare 4-speed transmission, low miles, and documented care, it’s a standout example from the last year of pre-computerized Corvettes.
