Overview of 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged For Sale by Owner

Chevy’s fine third-generation or C3 Corvette was a car with looks that its powertrain couldn’t quite capitalize on, thanks to the Malaise Era, emissions controls and fuel saving requirements of the Seventies through early Eighties. But this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged from Norfolk, Virginia aims to address that shortfall. It’s packing a supercharged L81 V8 under the hood with an LS camshaft upgrade and many more tasty little goodies to make it a real treat to drive. On the inside, an aftermarket audio system jazzes things up, while the removable glass T-tops ensure that open-air drives are on the agenda too. Don’t worry about the 208,606-mile odometer reading, that only tells us that this is a car that begs to be driven!

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a beautiful dark blue coat of paint, this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged features those removable glass T-tops that are an iconic Seventies and Eighties feature in many American sports cars and grand tourers. With its red pinstriping, pop-up headlamps and period silver alloy wheels wearing Goodyear white-letter tires, this car is as classic as they come, really. There isn’t really anything to give away the massive surprise that lies under the hood. The interior of this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged features custom seating and an aftermarket audio system from Kenwood, with cassette tape playback capabilities and CD changer control ability. There’s air conditioning and heating as well, and we see an MSD boost retard controller on board too. Otherwise, it’s your typical C3 Corvette cabin.

Engine

The engine of this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged is a L81 unit which displaces 350ci. It’s equipped with a Procharger D1SC supercharger and fed by a Holley 750 4-barrel carburetor. The car also has an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake manifold, LS camshaft upgrade, Crane 1.5 roller rocker arms, JE forged pistons, Eagle forged connecting rods and crankshaft, MSD 6-BTM ignition system and a 3-inch dual exhaust system. It’s also equipped with a Griffin aluminum radiator and aftermarket electric fan, aftermarket fuel pump and power steering pump. A 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission drives the rear wheels through a 3.54 rear end. The car also has Zero Tolerance Industries brakes with O-ring caliper pistons, aftermarket U-joints and more.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT

Current Ask
$74,999

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT represents the C8 formula at its most focused: mid-engine proportions, naturally aspirated V8 power, and a chassis tuned to feel far more exotic than the Corvette name once implied. Showing just 8,109 miles, this example is finished in Black over an Adrenaline Red leather interior and is equipped with the desirable Z51 Performance Package, bringing a performance rear axle ratio, Z51 suspension, electronic limited-slip differential, upgraded brakes, heavy-duty cooling, performance exhaust, and high-performance tires. Its 20-spoke Midnight Gray forged aluminum wheels with red striping and Bright Red brake calipers add another layer of visual aggression, while the transparent removable roof panel keeps the car versatile enough for open-air driving. It is a low-mileage C8 with the right performance hardware and a color combination that suits the car’s dramatic character particularly well.

The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe comes from one of the most memorable periods of the C3 era, when dramatic bodywork and big-block power were at the heart of the Corvette formula. Showing 122,775 miles, this example is finished in Classic White over a Black interior and carries the desirable 454ci LS5 V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Its combination of removable T-top roof panels, chrome bumpers, Rally wheels, and a rear luggage rack gives it the unmistakable look of an early C3, while power steering and power brakes add welcome usability. For enthusiasts drawn to the sound, torque, and presence of a big-block Stingray, this one delivers the right ingredients in a very traditional configuration.

The 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the closing chapter of the C5 generation, a car that helped move the Corvette firmly into the modern performance era while still keeping the formula simple: a lightweight two-seat body, a naturally aspirated V8 up front, and power going to the rear wheels. Showing 67,134 miles, this example is finished in Machine Silver Metallic over a Black interior and pairs its 5.7L LS1 V8 with a 4-speed automatic transmission. More importantly for an enthusiast, it is equipped with the Z51 Performance Handling Package and a 3.15 performance axle ratio, giving this C5 a sharper edge than a standard touring-spec car. High-polished 5-spoke aluminum wheels, a Head-Up Display, dual removable roof panels, and the 1SB Preferred Equipment Group round out a specification that blends classic Corvette performance with the comfort and convenience that made the C5 such a capable everyday sports car.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.
