Buyer was dealer and looking for a real owner so I am going to drop it to $8000 to sell it fast. Would prefer to deal with someone local. Than was another issue with the other buyer. Plus the pictures I feel don't mean much. When you see it in person at least for me it was special. And when you get in and drive it, it is so cool. The mirror glass tops and the alpine with the leather and it sounds great. So I hope the buyer is local. And I welcome all inspections prior to buying. Thanks!
This is a great car with a great custom plate that says it all. The records go back to the 80's. Their is a book of records. The original owner had it till 6 years ago.
Look at what it is worth at Hagerstown Auto Value. This car is good to excellent and hagerty values that at $11700 to $16900 not counting the times tops 4 sppeed an add more to the value
-8% for auto trans. +$500 for glass T-tops. +$500 for gymkhana suspension.
1981 was the first year Corvettes were ever produced in two factories at one time. The new Bowling Green, Kentucky plant produced its first Corvette on June 1, 1981 while the St. Louis plant was producing its last Corvettes. The last St. Louis Vette was produced on August 1, 1981. All St. Louis Corvettes were painted with lacquer paints while the new Bowling Green plant had a brand new paint facility and used enamels with clear top coats. 1981 was the last year a manual transmission was available until late in 1984 with the C4. Automatic transmission Corvettes were equipped with a new fiberglass re-inforced rear mono-spring. This spring was 33 pounds lighter than the steel spring. Cars with the manual transmissions or the Gymkhana supsension package still received the steel spring. A new two-tone paint process was available for the first time from the Bowling Green factory. The computer command control which was used on the California Corvettes in 1980 was now standard on all Corvettes. The stainless steel exhaust mainfold from the California Vettes was also standard, it weighed 14 pounds less than the cast iron manifold and flowed better as well. A new chromed air cleaner cover was added to the engine compartment. California buyers could finally buy a manual Corvette this year. A quartz clock was now standard and a six-way power seat was optional. Electronic tuning radios could have an optional CB radio or an 8-track tape player. 1981 marks the first year that Corvette body style numbers were incorporated into the VIN number instead of being a seperate number.
Their are I feel over 100 service records, I took a pic of all of them. Here is an example of a few receipts I randomly listed
Some of the receipts include
Passes smog regularly. The car look and runs great. This is a California car with custom wheels and glass t-tops. Only real flaw is the carpet on the driver's side is worn from getting in and out and driver's seat is worn. A carpet kit is about $200 for the front and $400 for the whole car according to the catalog. The carpet on the floor is good due to car mats. This car is very clean for a 36 year old survivor with only 150000 original miles. Comes with California Title and records. Don't assume anything. Ask or inspect before buying. This car is being sold "AS IS". For more info call Gregg at (415)444-6378. Car looks and runs great. Comes with Alpine faceplate, car cover and a padded armrest. The car cover is nice to keep the car clean from dust in the garage.
