What We Like

The Corvette is often referred to as “America’s Sports Car” and it’s easy to see why when viewing the rumbling V8 engines, athletic handling, and legendary racing history. This Dark Blue Metallic example sports late-C3-chassis aerodynamic bodywork and is powered by an L48 350ci V8 coupled with the optional 3-speed Turbo Hydramatic transmission. The vehicle appears to be highly original and mostly stock other than a period-correct Audiovox AM/FM/cassette stereo. This Corvette’s striking color combination is sure to capture attention whether parked at the local Cars & Coffee event or cruising down the road.

Vehicle History & Overview

According to the factory build-sticker, this Corvette was built in January 1980 and was equipped with the L48 350ci V8 engine. The selling dealer acquired the car in October 2022 and has added less than 100 of the 73,600 miles shown. The seller states there is minimal interior wear. Imperfections comprise paint chips showing on the front valance as well as the driver’s door. Touch-up paint and two keys are included.

The C3-chassis Corvette was launched in 1968 and was also known as the Corvette Stingray until 1976. 1980 saw major changes to the front and rear bumper that resulted in improved aerodynamics and reduced drag. Reportedly, 90% of 1980 Corvettes were ordered with the optional aluminum-alloy wheels shown on this example. Corvettes equipped with the L48 V8 engine and automatic transmission could accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and achieve a 123 mph top speed.
