Vehicle Description
An American icon in factory-correct colors and loaded with great
features like ice-cold air conditioning and an enhanced V8. This
1981 Chevrolet Corvette is already an attractive classic, and
that's before you checked out the exceptionally affordable
price.
There's a certain sophistication about this Corvette. The
factory-correct Charcoal Gray is not as boisterous as some other
hues, and it works particularly well on a later C3 like this with
the body-colored bumpers. But don't let its composed nature let you
think it's not ready to show off. It just quietly lets you
appreciate the curves of one of the most angular Corvettes in
history. This is further highlighted by the metallic luster in the
paint and the pinstriping on the fenders. And when it comes to
brightwork, the optional aluminum wheels and bright exhaust tips
are assurances that this 'Vette can get loud whenever it wants.
Inside, the black bucket seats weigh less than earlier C3s, and
they fold flush with the rear trunk area for better cargo
functionality. Like any good Corvette of this era, it comes loaded
with power locks, tilt wheel, electric rear defogger, and power
windows. There's even an upgrade to an AM/FM/CD stereo with
auxiliary hook up so you can play the most modern tunes. For the
driver, there's a three-spoke sports steering wheel. Beyond that is
the large speedometer and tachometer package in front and a full
gauge panel prominently to the side. You can show this fantastic
interior to the world as you go cruising around with the T-tops
off. There's even ice-cold air conditioning running modern R134a,
so you can stay open to the world all summer long.
Take a good look at the engine bay, because beneath a stock-like
appearance lies some nice performance upgrades. So while having a
350 cubic-inch crate V8 is already desirable, this one goes even
further by adding a Weber four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake,
and headers. That means this motor breathes in deeper and exhales
with more authority from the dual exhaust. And the fully
independent sports suspension and four-wheel disc brakes mean you
can have maximum fun on the roads with the enhanced V8. But more
than just good for performance, this one can also be a nice car for
the long trips. That's thanks to features like the three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and cruise control.
Great presentation, extra rumble from the V8, and an affordable buy
- the only way this classic will disappoint you is if you're too
late to grab it. Call today!
