Description

The shape and allure of a classic C3 Corvette are impossible for almost anyone to deny. With its nearly two-decade model run from 1968 to 1982, the third generation of the Corvette has inspired millions of dreams, fantasies, and appeared on more than a few bucket lists. If you are one of those who missed out on owning one of these beauties the first time around, one look at this numbers-matching 1980 Chevrolet Corvette L82, with an incredible 22,827 believed actual miles, and repainted in its original Silver exterior, could be your second chance. The sinewy Coke bottle shape, wonderfully practical T-top roof, and overall factory appearance of this 'Vette let you travel back in time to the back end of the third generation of Chevy's halo car.

Inside, we find a barely broken-in Oyster leather-and-cloth interior that appears to be original and unrestored. A tilt and telescoping steering power-assisted steering wheel sits just ahead of a new-looking 85 mph speedometer and 7,000 rpm tachometer. A five-pod auxiliary gauge cluster sits in easy view on the center stack. The only obvious upgrade this interior has gotten is a modern JVC AM/FM/CD head unit. Power windows and locks, cruise control, and a roomy carpeted rear cargo area make this 'Vette as much fun on the inside as it is on the outside.

Under the hood, we find a numbers-matching L82 350 cubic-inch V-8 topped by a single four-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake manifold. Stock-style exhaust manifolds flow into a dual-to-single-to-dual exhaust, giving this small block its authentic from-the-factory sound. When new, the L82 produced 230 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. Those ponies are funneled through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the Corvette rear.
