Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette for purchase. The C3 stingrays ran from 1968 all the way to 1982, evolving along the way. The 1980 Corvette weighed 238 pounds less than a comparably equipped '79 model. This reduction was achieved by virtue of many changes, including redesigned front and rear impact-resistant bumpers, revised T-tops, thinner windshield and door glass, and thinner hood and door panels. The 1980 Corvette also used considerably more aluminum than its predecessors, including an aluminum intake manifold for the base engine (previously, only L82 engines got aluminum intakes) and an aluminum rear cross member and differential housing assembly. The latter saved a full 40 pounds all by itself. Also, for the 1980 the Corvette's aerodynamic efficiency was improved noticeably, but in the opinion of most, the body changes actually helped rather than hurt the car's appearance and sales increased accordingly.
This 1980 Corvette sits here in our Grand Rapids showroom offered for sale by its original owner! In 2012, the car got some cosmetic love with a re-paint, new carpet, and new seats. The car has been kept to stock specifications with the original 350ci V8 engine and automatic transmission. It also features working air conditioning, T-tops, power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power windows and more! This is a very fun and really comfortable ride that is great for that beautiful day to go carve up some roads. We hold some great documentation including the original window sticker! Please call or email for more details!
