Chevrolet Corvette C3, 1981. 91,075 km, service books from new.
The Chevrolet Corvette C3 remains one of the most iconic American
sports cars ever built. The third generation was produced from 1968
through 1982 and is instantly recognisable by its long, low body,
wide haunches and removable T-top roof panels. A design rooted in
the sixties, yet refined over the years into a mature, characterful
V8 sports car. From 1978 the C3 received its distinctive plastic
bumpers, lending a cleaner, more modern look compared to the
earlier chrome-bumper models.
This Corvette dates from 1981 and belongs to the very first series
built at the new Bowling Green plant, after production moved from
St. Louis. That makes this model year a landmark moment in Corvette
history. It is also the first year Chevrolet introduced the
Computer Command Control system. This system manages ignition
timing and fuel mixture for the original Rochester Quadrajet
carburettor, drawing on sensor data such as throttle position,
vacuum and temperature. On this car the system works exactly as
intended, something that is by no means guaranteed with this type
and year.
