This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a striking survivor from the final years of the C3 generation. Showing just 52,000 original miles, this Corvette retains its factory 350 cubic inch V8 paired with a smooth automatic transmission and is remarkably well preserved inside and out.

The silver exterior finish presents beautifully with a rich, glossy shine that complements the Misty Blue interior—a rare and elegant combination from the era. Power options abound, including power windows, seats, steering, and brakes, offering the right mix of performance and comfort.

A pair of striking blue mirrored T-tops add flair to its classic silhouette—though one panel has a visible crack, a solid color-matched top is included for worry-free enjoyment. Inside, the cockpit is clean and original, featuring an AM/FM radio with tape player, plus a brand-new AM/FM CD stereo system and upgraded speakers ready for installation.

On the road, this Corvette performs impressively with tight handling, a responsive ride, and a recent investment in a new exhaust system and fuel tank in 2023. Riding on fresh B.F. Goodrich rubber, it’s ready for weekend drives, cruise-ins, or even daily use.

Whether you’re a first-time collector or a seasoned enthusiast, this ’81 Corvette offers exceptional value, classic styling, and mechanical dependability—all wrapped in a timeless American icon.
