Vehicle Description
A 'Vette is meant to be an all-around great driving car. So when
you check out this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette, look beyond the bright
red paint and value price to see some great all-around features
like the A/C interior and rare four-speed stick shift.
Of course you want your Corvette in red... they're so iconic they
write songs about it. There was a nice repaint of its
factory-correct red just to make sure you get a nice gloss in the
sunshine. And nice paint is really needed on these later C3s. They
have a sleeker and more modern look than the cars of the earlier
years. This style is really gaining a nice following as people
begin to appreciate the features like the sporty front air dam,
distinct rear spoiler, and clean chrome-free body. So, to watch the
red dance over each curve as the light rolls evenly across the
tight panels gives this car an instant sexiness. While the body
opts out on most chrome, the optional factory-style aluminum wheels
makes sure you have plenty of brightwork to be a true
all-American.
Inside, the black leather seats weigh less than earlier C3s, and
they fold flush with the rear trunk area for better cargo
functionality. For the driver, there's a comfortable
leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel. Beyond that is the
large speedo/tach package in front, and a full gauge cluster
prominently to the side. Like any good Corvette of this era, it
comes loaded with power windows, tilt/telescopic wheel, electric
rear defogger, and the original AM/FM 8-track stereo for cool
originality. But the best feature has to be the T-tops. The tinted
glass is great in all weather, and on sunny days, these allow you
to open your Corvette up to the world. Plus, with the upgrade to
modern R134a air conditioning, you get to stay cool while looking
cool.
Under the hood the 350 cubic-inch V8 motor looks exceptionally
honest and well maintained. The most versitle and adaptable engine
of its day beats as the heart of this red Corvette. Add ons are
always available for such a great motor. That means you can develop
a sold hit of power low in the rev range that gets your heart
racing, and the dual exhaust growling. Plus, while most came with
automatic transmissions, this one gives you the most out of the V8
with the control of a four-speed manual. Add in the fully
independent sports suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc
brakes, and this classic 'Vette Is capable of some very modern
moves.
Here's a turnkey Corvette that always turns heads. This one has the
great looks, premium features, and nice performance to provide
value well beyond its affordable price. It's the kind of obtainable
total package that will be going fast, so call today!
