For Sale: 1981 Chevrolet Corvette in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

If numbers matching is one of those things you look for in a vehicle, then this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette falls right into your category. With 79,293 actual miles, this sports car is a true survivor. It looks great in its factory color Black, Corvette aluminum wheels, and with the curves that have made this American's #1 sports car. With the t-tops off, you won't want to stop cruising-just pass up your street and keep on going, listening to the sweet sound of the mufflers purr.

The interior is super sporty, with red and black leather seats and classic Corvette symbols on the headrests. There are lots of power options, including power locks, power windows, power mirrors, power steering, and power brakes. Cold A/C is working and great to have in those hot summer months. The steering wheel is both tilt- and telescopic-adjustable. In the center console, there's an Alpine head unit with AM/FM/Aux and a CD player. Above that is a gauge cluster holding five different gauges, while to the left, in front of the driver, are the tachometer and speedometer. The shifter looks good and a rare sight in this year (we'll get to that later). The custom door panels look great and match the seats.

Opening up the hood could feel a little odd since most Corvette hoods open in reverse. A couple of nice Chevy chrome valve covers present themselves well with a chrome air cleaner. But the real gem is the 350 cubic-inch engine, numbers-matching, with a Rochester Quadra-Jet carburetor. A 4-speed manual is used to slam those gears, making this Corvette a little rarer than others-since only about 1 out of every 8 Corvettes were built with a stick shift option in 1981. The front suspension uses A-arms with coil springs and shocks, while the rear suspension uses leaf springs with shocks. Aluminum stock-appearing wheels are 15-inch all the way around, wrapped with BFG Radial T/A 255/60R15 tires. For stopping power, four-wheel power disc brakes are used, and for exhaust sound, there is a mostly stock dual exhaust setup with aftermarket mufflers.
