For Sale: 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

The C3 sits among the most loved generations of the Corvette. Its sinewy Coke bottle shape is unmistakable and turns heads anywhere it goes. Today, we have a magnificent example of a late-model C3 for you in this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette L48. With just 33,384 (believed) actual miles on its odometer, this car looks almost as good as the day it rolled off the assembly line. Decked out in its original Frost Beige color, the 1980 'Vette used lighter fiberglass body panels along with an aluminum differential and crossmember to provide a serious reduction in weight. Thankfully, the iconic T-tops are still intact and work wonderfully.

Inside, we find a Doe Skin leather/vinyl/cloth interior featuring a set of supportive and comfortable bucket seats separated by a full-length center console, complete with dual cup holders. A small three-spoke, power-assisted, padded steering wheel sits in front of an 85 mph speedometer and a 7,000 rpm tachometer. The signature five-pod auxiliary gauge cluster sits atop the center stack, while an upgraded AM/FM radio equipped with Bluetooth takes place of the original unit without looking out of place. The sliding HVAC controls are easy to use, and the air conditioning blows cold whenever it gets too hot to enjoy open air driving.

Under that classic front-hinged hood, we find a numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch L48 V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, this small block V-8 pumped out a respectable 190 horsepower at 4,400 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at 2,400 rpm when it was new. That power is routed through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before being transferred to the rear end via a 3.08-geared rearend, and then to the tarmac via a set of fifteen-inch alloy wheels wrapped in P225/70R-15 BFGoodrich tires.
