1980 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

A proper 'Vette is meant to be an all-around great driving car. So when you check out this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette, look beyond the cool full red packaging and value price to see some great all-around features like the T-tops and comfy A/C interior.

Of course you want your Corvette in red... it just seems to be part of the mystique that goes with the icon. So it gets even better on a well-presented example like this. The finish has been given the right care and investments to make sure it has a nice gloss and depth when the sunshine finds this coupe. These later C3s have a sleeker and more modern look than the cars of the earlier years. So it's particularly nice to see that this has well-fitting panels that help to add emphasis to the color-matched front end, distinct rear spoiler, and clean chrome-free body. And while the body does opt-out on most brightwork, it means the optional factory-style polished aluminum wheels really stand out even more.

The sea of red continues inside. It's a stylish color combo, and the trim tag tells us the car was born this way! Just like the exterior, you can tell there has been the right attention to keep the full package looking good. So that's just another reason to take the T-tops out and share this with the world. 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 with comfort features such as power windows, a tilt steering column, and the original AM/FM 8-track stereo. Plus, there are worthwhile upgrades like tinted windows and R134a refrigerant for the factory air conditioning.

The numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8 motor looks well maintained. You may even spot newer pieces, like the compressor, alternator, vacuum pump, and the bright blue block paint. The V8 fires up readily, and inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor. These motors are great for torque to get you off the line and move this coupe with authority. Add in the three speed automatic transmission, fully independent sports suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes, and this is a classic 'Vette that loves to cruise.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and other original paperwork. This one has the great looks, premium features, and all-around presentation to provide value well beyond its affordable price. So don't miss this deal. Call now!
