Own a Legend: 1981 Chevrolet Corvette - Ready for the Open Road!

For sale is a clean, sharp-looking 1981 Corvette, a true American icon ready to deliver smiles and performance right now.

Forget the stress of finding an immaculate, six-figure trailer queen. This 'Vette is a driver's car—perfect for the enthusiast who wants to own a classic, enjoy it on weekend cruises, and put their own stamp on a legend. It's the ideal platform for a proud owner to tinker, drive, and continuously improve, giving you that satisfying, hands-on classic car experience.

Turn-Key Reliability & Modern Upgrades (Over $10,200 in Recent Work!)

Over the last four years, this Corvette has benefited from a comprehensive overhaul of its essential components, making it a reliable cruiser you can trust. All receipts for this work are included!

● Security and Peace of Mind: A newly installed battery kill switch offers two critical advantages:

○ Theft Deterrent: When turned off, the car is completely immobilized—a simple yet highly effective guard against theft and hot-wiring.

○ Reliable Starting: It eliminates any possible battery drain, ensuring the car starts reliably every time you are ready to hit the road, even after it sits for a while.

● Brand New Running Gear: New tires, new battery, new alternator, and all-new brakes (rotors and pads) all around.

● Performance & Clarity: Rebuilt carburetor and a stunning new Dakota Digital instrument package—blending classic style with modern precision and reliability.

● Functionality Fixed: New electric headlight lifts ensure smooth operation every time.

● The 4-barrel Holly carburetor and aftermarket intake/air filter setup give it a reliable pick up on the road when you need it.

Classic Vibe, Personal Touches

This car was improved to be driven, not judged. Having already been repainted in a striking, white (not the original color), it offers the freedom to enjoy a unique look without the pressure of maintaining a factory-perfect show car.

● Engine Sound Matters: I’m not sure if the muffler system and catalytic converter are original or not, but the system provides a very nice rumble, but not enough to annoy the neighbors. You'll prefer the raw sound of the V8 and the wind over any radio! (The aftermarket unit is included, but the V8 soundtrack is the real stereo.)

● Recent History: It came to me with a relatively new radiator and a recent paint job. The title is clear and clean, ready for immediate transfer.

The Authentic Classic Experience (The Details)

Every classic has its quirks, and we've embraced them!

● Pure Driving Focus: This is a true fair-weather cruiser. The AC and heat no longer work, streamlining the system. Pull the T-tops off, feel the wind, and enjoy the true, unfiltered classic car experience.

● Paint: The recent respray is a driver-quality job. It looks good from 10 feet but has visible defects up close (see detailed photos for major areas). This is the perfect foundation for someone who might want to take it to the next level without worrying about chipping an expensive original finish.

● Projects Welcome: As expected for a 44-year-old car, there are small things a new owner can continue to finesse and personalize. That's the fun of owning a classic!

This Corvette is ready for its next adventure. Don't let this affordable entry into classic ownership pass you by.
