This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette boasts a rare single-family lineage, purchased new from Beaty Chevrolet in Knoxville. Its Cream Beige exterior gleams in the sunlight, a testament to decades of meticulous care. The C3's iconic silhouette remains as striking today as it was in '81, with T-tops ready for open-air adventures. Rolling on 15-inch wheels wrapped in beefy 225/70R15 rubber, this Corvette combines classic style with road-gripping performance. Chrome accents complement the sleek bodywork, .....
creating a quintessential American sports car aesthetic.
Medium Cinnabar leather adorns the interior, creating a driver-focused environment built for serious motoring. Supportive bucket seats keep you planted during spirited driving, while the center console houses the shifter for the 3-speed automatic transmission. An AM/FM radio stands ready to provide the soundtrack for your journey. Power windows, locks, and steering offer effortless control. The driver-oriented dash puts all gauges and controls within easy reach, reinforcing the Corvette's performance-first philosophy.
The original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 engine sits proudly in the engine bay. This 190-horsepower powerplant, fed by a single 4-barrel carburetor, delivers ample thrust for both cruising and more aggressive driving. The automatic transmission shifts with precision, allowing you to focus on the road ahead. Four-wheel disc brakes provide confident stopping power, while the legendary Corvette suspension - featuring coil springs up front and a transverse leaf spring in the rear - delivers the handling prowess this sports car is known for. A dual exhaust system provides a fitting auditory complement to the V8's performance.
