1981 Chevrolet Corvette Description

This is the product of 7 years of investment and build
The car was purchased as a running and driving 1981 Corvette with a straight body. The car currently runs and is registered and insured with clean Georgia title that reflects the original mileage of the car. The Engine, Transmission, Rear-end all have less than 5000 miles on them since rebuild, replacement, or refresh

**MUCH MUCH MORE
THE BAD:
* Powered Driver Seat works but is not permanently wired in so must connect to move the seat. The car did not originally have one, seat is from 1982 Corvette
* There is minor cracking as expected on C3 Corvettes, This is primarily near by the doors at the corner of the sail panel. There is a 1" surface crack on drivers side and where you can make out a older a 1.5"x 1"patch on the passenger side
* The Vin shows it as a original Black on Black car but the previous owner had it painted 2-tones white over grey. Though the color was very nice (in my opinion) he later had it plastidipped with Mineral Pearl White by a local paint shop. This is easily removed but gave the car a very pretty and menacing look that gets a lot of comments. However the dip is about 3 yrs old and starting to show some signs of it but overall still holding up
* When I purchased the car last year, the carburetor was out of box and not tuned. This caused the engine to run rich for a short period. No damage to the engine, but once it was jetted down a little and no longer runs rich, the plugs should be changed and have not.
The Car was recently serviced by Patton's Automotive in Dallas GA who are respected as a Classic car repair shop and they recommended the plugs be changed but I opted to do it myself and just have not gotten around to it yet
This car has been a great project and a labor of love over 2 owners but it is time for me to move on. I have not had the time to work on it or enough opportunity to drive it as much as I would like due to other obligations.
This is a very nice, good condition Corvette with a large investment into it.
It is a original St Louis car, original 4-speed car, numbers matching Block, T-Tops, lots of performance parts and a really great platform for anyone looking for some fun, old school American muscle

I hate to sell this car. This is a great opportunity for someone to have an incredible platform to build whatever they want from it or bring back to original
