1981 Chevrolet Corvette

HIGHLIGHTS:
• 1981 Chevrolet Corvette with serious street presence!
• Original numbers-matching 350 V8!
• Transparent T-tops and tan cloth interior
• Dual 4-barrel carbs and a polished supercharger!
• Chrome side pipe exhaust and chrome wheelie bar
• Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo

BODY OVERVIEW:
This C3 Corvette isn’t shy about what it’s packing! Between the visible supercharger, side pipes, and chrome wheelie bar, it wears its attitude on its sleeve. Transparent T-tops and polished wheels round out a muscular street machine aesthetic, while factory styling remains largely untouched for just the right blend of classic and custom.

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Finished in a dark copper/orange with excellent gloss and depth, this Corvette shines in every light! The ghost stripe on the hood is a tasteful touch that hints at the beast beneath. While not a fresh paint job, it’s in very good condition overall with minor imperfections such as light scratches and small touch-ups—consistent with a car that’s been enjoyed, not parked and forgotten.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The tan cloth interior appears largely original and has held up well over the years. The seats are comfortable and in nice original condition, with minimal visible wear. Power windows add an extra touch of convenience. The dash has suffered from sun damage, as these cars are apt to do, and hidden beneath a custom-fit carpeted dash mat. The overall cabin is clean, functional, and features an Alpine stereo for added audio performance. It’s the perfect backdrop for cruising or carving up backroads!

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Here’s where things get serious. The original numbers-matching 350 V8 has been transformed with dual 4-barrel carburetors and a polished supercharger. The transmission is old reliable–a TH350 3-speed automatic, for cruising convenience. Additional upgrades include an MSD ignition coil, chrome alternator, chrome brake booster/master cylinder, and an aluminum radiator for cooling support. Despite its aggressive setup, this car remains streetable and doesn’t require any race-car know-how to operate. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it sounds amazing through those chrome side pipes! Make no mistake–listening to that supercharger whine takes the Corvette experience to a whole new level. 

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• The supercharged V8 delivers real performance and real sound!
• Transparent T-tops let you cruise in style
• The custom paint is sure to turn heads just about anywhere
• Original drivetrain meets custom muscle for the best of both worlds!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• If you prefer quiet, stock Corvettes, this isn’t your car–and it certainly isn’t factory correct
• The dashboard damage and minor paint imperfections

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
Headlight doors, blower motor, and tachometer need attention, but nothing to stop you from enjoying it today!

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This Corvette is for the enthusiast who wants something a little wild—something that brings classic looks with aggressive muscle attitude. If you’re into cars with serious bark and curb appeal that leaves an impression, this is your ride. Not for purists, but perfect for someone looking to stand out, enjoy the drive, and smile every time they hear the supercharger whine!
