1980 Chevrolet Corvette in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

A vintage Corvette in great shape with low miles... Too much to ask for, huh? Well, no it isn't. This magnificent 1980 Chevrolet Corvette runs like a champ, handles like a dream, and has only 47K actual miles on the odometer. The mileage is documented and so is all the work that has ever been done to the car. This local two-owner Georgia 'Vette has never ventured out of the South, and has been babied it's entire life. Cars like this don't come up for sale too often.

A walk around the exterior of this proud machine offers undeniable testimony as to why the Corvette has been the premier American-made sportscar for more than 60 years. Low and lean, it is true automotive masterpiece. You will be immediately captivated by the sleek, aerodynamic styling that has always been the trademark of the Vette. Every single contour of this car says "classy and fast." Can a car be considered suave and sophisticated? We think so! At first glance you can't help but be drawn in by the rich luster of the finish. The factory original paint is Classic White in color and it shines like a new penny. There may be a very slight blemish or touch-up in the paint, but the fiberglass is sound, and the look is certainly impressive. All of the trim and emblems are in place and showing exactly as they should. This Corvette comes with both sets of T-tops, so you'll have options when you head out onto the highway. And when you do hit the road, you'll be riding on a nice set of Goodyear Eagles mounted on factory chrome Corvette wheels.

The level of craftsmanship that went into the production of this little gem is undeniable. Meticulous attention to detail ensures that the hood, hatch, doors, even the headlight doors open and close quietly and securely with a nice tight fit. You won't find an excessive gap in any seam.. The interior is a nice saddle tan that goes great with the body color. The seats, door panels, steering wheel and middle arm rests have all been professionally reupholstered so they look like new. The dash and all its amenities are in superb condition, and an aftermarket radio is tucked inside the glove box for your listening pleasure. As you might expect, you'll have virtually every power option offered in 1980 at your fingertips-and everything works.

Under the hood, the engine bay displays all the bright, neatly-appointed chrome and polished aluminum you'd expect to see on a Corvette. This car has a brand new Chevy 350 crate motor that was installed only 3000 miles ago. It's basically stock except for the addition of a GM aluminum intake, Edelbrock carburetor, headers and a serpentine belt system. The owner really used his head on this one, saving the old engine in case a future purchaser might want to use it for a rebuild to put the car back in 100% original condition. Of course, the new engine is an upgrade and in great shape, runs excellent and is ready for many, many miles to travel. The car's TH 350 transmission was rebuilt at the time of the engine swap and proves itself an ideal link between the motor and a stock Corvette rear end. An inspection of the underside shows everything clean and dry. Just like it should be! If you have never driven one, nothing handles quite like a Corvette. It literally hugs the road with the stealthy prowess of a jungle cat. All of the suspension components on this car are in great shape, so you're in for a very good ride.

This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette has character. It has provenance. It has it all. And really, everyone should own a Vette at least once in their lifetime. It won't last long, call today!
