Price My Classic

The year is 1981, Ronald Reagan inaugurated as the 40th President of the United States of America, MTV (Music Television) is launched August 1st and this blue all original, numbers matching Corvette rolls into showrooms for the first time. Since then she has only accumulated 61,000 miles. Still runs and drives like she did in -81.

The third generation Corvette, patterned after the Mako Shark II concept car, was introduced for the 1968 model year and was in production until 1982. C3 coupes featured the first use of T-top removable roof panels. It introduced monikers that were later revived, such as LT-1, ZR-1, Z07 and Collector Edition. In 1978, the Corvette's 25th anniversary was celebrated with a two-tone Silver Anniversary Edition and an Indy Pace Car replica edition of the C3. This was also the first time that a Corvette was used as a Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500.

Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over...

The Corvette was first produced in 1953 and has since become a world-renowned sports car. 1973 was the beginning of the corvette-s transition from a muscle car into a sports car after being advertised with radial tires and redesigned body mounts. 1973 was also the year that the chrome front bumper was discontinued due to federal regulations.

This numbers matching beast is powered by a 454 CID big block V8 which is paired to a four-speed manual transmission. This was the most powerful powertrain option for 1973 and is still considered powerful amongst modern vehicles. Thanks to the Big block power, this car will have no problem handling spirited drives. This one owner car is sure to get attention wherever it goes!

The timeless C3 body style looks good in a repainted nonblack rose metallic color that is in decent condition. The hood was also replaced with a high-rise LT hood. Overall, this is a good driver quality car and is an excellent entry into the world of Corvettes or classic cars.

In the mid-seventies, you didn't get any cooler or any faster than a Corvette Stingray, and the classic lines...

This Corvette has 28,400 original miles. For 1982, the 5. 7 liter (350 CID) Cross-Fire Fuel Injection V8 and an automatic were your only options available from Chevy. Chevrolet would give this engine the RPO code of L83. It seemed to make sense since from 1975 until 1980 the L82 4-bbl 350 CID V8 which was rated at between 205 to 230 horsepower was Corvette-s high-performance motor option. You can imagine the heartache this must have caused for most Corvette fans. They always had a manual available except for the early first generation Corvette which had a mandatory 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. These were scary times for performance enthusiasts to be sure. The future was uncertain. With emissions and fuel economy forcing Detroit to put the lid on...
