For Sale: 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in Statesville, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS: • 1980 Chevrolet Corvette L48 with numbers-matching 350ci V8 bored to 355ci • Upgraded Silver Sport A41 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission • Power steering, power disc brakes, DeWitt's aluminum radiator, and electric cooling fans • Hooker Headers, dual exhaust, and Borla mufflers • Van Steel suspension including tubular control arms, sway bars, and coilover shocks • Repainted in pearl white over original Doeskin interior • Modern upgrades include March serpentine belt system, Pioneer stereo, and alloy wheels BODY OVERVIEW: This late C3 Corvette's stance delivers pure muscle car attitude. The body is clean, straight, and shows well, maintaining all the dramatic curves that made these cars icons of the era. The aftermarket 15-inch black alloy wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich tires add a sportier, more aggressive touch without straying too far from the car's original character. As shown in the photos, there is a bump on the nose. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Originally white, this Corvette now wears a pearl white repaint that gives it a bit of extra flair and depth in the sun. The finish shines nicely and presents well overall, but it's not fresh-there are some imperfections and light wear consistent with an older paint job as shown in the photos It's a great look for a car that's meant to be driven and enjoyed, not locked away in a plastic bubble! INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The Doeskin interior appears largely original and has that classic Corvette cockpit feel that wraps around the driver and holds you in tightly. The seats, dash, and panels show some age, but make no mistake-it shows nicely as it is. A modern Pioneer stereo adds some 21st-century convenience, while the rest remains true to its late-'70s charm. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood, things start to heat up! The numbers-matching 350ci V8 is alive and well, and has been bored to a 355 boasting a believed 400HP. Paired with a Silver Sport A41 4L60E automatic transmission, a huge improvement in drivability over the factory 3-speed, this 'Vette is set up for the driver's pleasure. Supporting upgrades like an DeWitt aluminum radiator, electric fans, March serpentine belt drive, Van Steel tubular control arms, and coilover shocks make this C3 better handling than ever. The Hooker headers, dual exhaust, and Borla mufflers make it sound every bit as mean as it looks! Other mechanical upgrades include electric headlight motor conversion, MSD ignition, Borgeson steering box, and a Duntov Motorsports Dana rear end with 3.73 gear ratio. The car fires up easily, runs strong, and drives with confidence! It's quiet at a stoplight, but really comes alive when you put your foot down. Plus it handles like its on rails! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: • That classic Corvette silhouette in a stunning pearl white finish! • The growl from the Borla exhaust and the effortless power from the upgraded drivetrain! • The durability added by the 4L60E transmission and cooling system upgrades • A balance between originality and tasteful modernization • It's a Corvette you can actually drive and enjoy guilt-free! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • It's not a concours showpiece-this one's been driven and enjoyed • If you want a factory-perfect original Corvette, this car's modern touches might not fit your taste DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? The blower motor, temperature gauge, and tachometer do not work. The tires are older. Otherwise, this car is road-ready and eager for its next adventure! WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Corvette is perfect for someone who wants a stylish, modernized, and fun driver's car-something to actually take out and enjoy on weekends, not just stare at in the garage. It's ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate classic looks but want the usability and performance that come with smart upgrades. If you're after a head-turning C3 that blends vintage style with modern drivability, this one fits the bill perfectly!
