The long-running C3 Corvette saw service from 1968 to 1982 and is fondly remembered for its distinctive design. Despite weathering the worst of the Malaise Era, the Corvette emerged victorious, and when the C4 debuted for the 1983 model year, the C3 was already becoming notable. If you'd like to buy one of the later-era C3s, this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe fits the bill to a tee. It's got a new engine with just 1,000 miles on it and a few upgrades plus refurbishments too.
The charcoal gray paint job on this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe compliments the muscular looks that Bill Mitchell modeled on the 1965 Mako Shark II concept car. The current owner reports that the car bears new electronic headlights within the iconic pop-up clusters, as well as new tires. As a Coupe, you've got a set of T-tops to take off and enjoy an open-topped motoring experience at will. There's plenty more to admire about this 'Vette, but let's get inside and see what's there for the driver and passenger. Featuring a black and silver leather interior, this 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is ready for its second lease on life. Two comfortable yet supportive leather seats feature the Chevrolet bow-tie on the headrests. The current owner reports a new digital dashboard with digital readouts nestling neatly within the factory gauge pods, including the auxiliary gauges in the center console. We also spotted the factory climate control panel, but the radio has been upgraded. The new Jensen head unit supports Bluetooth, CD, USB, and AUX inputs as well as traditional FM radio. An aftermarket speaker pod has been installed just beneath the rear liftback, and there's plenty of space for luggage should you desire to take a trip in this 'Vette.
This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe packs a new 383ci V8 with just 1,000 miles on the clock, driving the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive and a 3.73 rear axle ratio. Accompanying the new 383ci V8 is a selection of new parts such as tires, brakes and rollers alloying you to extend the life of this iconic American sports car.
