1981 Chevrolet Corvette

HIGHLIGHTS: This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette has serious presence, finished in gloss black with a matching black interior. Powered by a 350ci V8 and paired with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, this Corvette is the epitome of classic C3s. Tinted transparent T-tops let you enjoy open-air cruising, while chrome sidepipe exhaust gives it that unmistakable growl. A staggered stance with beefy 295/50R15 rear tires on polished factory wheels enhances both looks and handling. With power disc brakes, power steering, a tilt steering column, and a modern Pioneer stereo, this Corvette blends classic style with modern convenience!

BODY OVERVIEW: Sleek, aggressive, and unmistakably Corvette, this C3 has all the right proportions and curves that made the third-generation model a legend. The body is clean and straight, and the underside presents nicely (especially considering this is not a restored vehicle!). The wide rear tires and sidepipes amplify its already bold stance, making it clear that this car is all about attitude. The body is straight and well-preserved, capturing the essence of an American icon.

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The gloss black finish looks stunning from a few feet away and gives this Corvette undeniable curb appeal. Black is a difficult color to hide body imperfections with, and it really showcases how straight this car is. However, buyers should note that while the paint is less than a year old, imperfections throughout can be seen up close. That being said, the deep black finish is sure to turn heads and complements the polished factory wheels beautifully for a classy and stylish look. 

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The black leatherette interior presents well, with wear at a minimum and minor imperfections consistent with age. The seats, dash, and door panels are in great condition, showing that this Corvette has been well cared for. The modern Pioneer stereo adds a nice touch of updated functionality, ensuring you have your favorite tunes on the road. 

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood, the 350ci V8 runs strong, delivering the power and reliability expected from a classic Corvette. A remote controlled battery cut-off ensures you’ll never be caught with a dead battery! The TH350 automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the combination of power steering and power disc brakes makes for a confident, enjoyable drive. The sidepipe exhaust system provides a throaty, unmistakable sound that lets everyone know this Corvette means business (plus the sidepipes look really cool!). This is a turn-key Corvette cruiser! 

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The all-black color scheme, chrome sidepipes, and wide rear tires give this Corvette a show-stopping presence. It’s the perfect mix of muscle car aggression and sports car styling, with the added benefit of T-tops for open-air fun!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you’re looking for flawless paint, this is probably not the car for you. But if you want a sharp-looking Corvette that’s built to be driven and enjoyed, this is definitely the one.
