1980 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette has a sleek all-red look that instantly attracts you. But as you dig deeper, you'll also discover a nicely-priced V8 classic sports car loaded with all the features you want.

The later C3s are arguably the best design in the whole Corvette line. The urethane front and rear allowed the style to flow from bumper to bumper. And this example really loves to showcase that, because the recent respray of the original bold red delivers an excellent gloss and shine. So the sunshine loves to deliver extra definition to the sporty long lines of the hood, crisp fender tops, wide fender flares, and the well-integrated full-width rear spoiler. This modern sleekness also brought the body brightwork to a minimum. And that means elements like the optional polished factory alloys really pop against the bold red.

T-tops mean you can open up this car to the world, and that's what this one was made to do. After all, the red exterior with red interior really makes this one a full red-blooded American classic. And while you'll love showing off the original well-preserved color, this one was also built for comfort. The later C3 buckets were updated for better bolstering, and these are finished in a supple leather. Plus, you have power windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, rear defrost, an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for R134a air conditioning. Even with these luxury items, your favorite part will be grabbing the sports steering wheel and looking over the driver-oriented dash with original gauges. It puts a large speedo and tach directly in front of you, and to the side, all your auxiliary readouts are at eye level.

Under the hood is a very correct-style presentation. With the factory air topper, correct valve covers, accurate decals, and much more, it's no wonder this is believed to be original to the car. The 350 cubic-inch V8 inhales deeply with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune out of the exhaust. These were built with comfortable and precise driving in mind. That's why you have a fully independent suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes. Add in power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, and wide Goodyear Eagle GTs, and you can understand why this is ready for the open road.

Complete with maintenance records and the owner's manual, this is the sleek red machine with all the right features. So at a price like this, you know you need to call today!
