Here we have a 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in classic white giving it a clean look. The 3rd-generation C3 Corvette was a sports car produced for the model years 1968-1982. It came in both convertible & coupe with T-Tops. The C3 set new sales records for the Corvette. While the L48 wasn't as high-powered as the higher-performance L82 engine, it offered a good balance of everyday drivability & sufficient power. In 1980, both front & rear bumper covers were restyled with brand new integrated aerodynamic spoilers that resulted in a significant reduction in drag & increased radiator air flow. The hood was also restyled as well. The C3 Corvette has a stiff suspension that gave it a great handling feel on the road, with an independent rear suspension that helped it provide a stable, comfortable ride for a performance car. It was a proper balance of comfort & control, especially for those who liked the open-road feel of a classic Corvette.
The selling party acquired this Corvette in 2024 from the US. It was reportedly repainted in its factory white under previous ownership & is believed to have not occurred too long ago as it appears to be in good condition. The interior doeskin leather shows regular wear for the age as it was kept untouched & all original. All is said to be in working order with this C3 'Vette.
It is powered by the L48 350ci 5.7L V8 engine spinning the rear wheels through a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The car shows 4,164 miles / 6,701 km on the odometer; TMU Total mileage unknown. Photos of the birdcage are included in the gallery.
