1980 | Chevrolet Corvette
Overview
Finished in White, this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette showcases the final production variant of the iconic sports car’s C3-generation. Beneath the hood, 5.7-liter V8 motivation pairs with a Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic transmission for smooth and direct power delivery. Cabin equipment reflects the model’s status as General Motors’ flagship platform with Doeskin leather upholstery, air conditioning, power windows, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. Other options include power disc brakes, a limited-slip rear axle, fully independent suspension, and power steering. Power-operated retractable headlights and removable T-top roof panels cap off can’t-miss period details.
.
Fiberglass corrosion-resistant body construction and a repaint under previous ownership elevate this Canadian-spec example above its peers. For those seeking classic design, this St. Louis-built C3 is a well-preserved contender with robust V8 power, essential options, and production nuance intrigue. Showing an odometer reading of 106,425km (66,129mi), total mileage is unknown according to the selling dealer.
.
With the 1980 model year, Chevrolet managed to cut 250 pounds from the curb weight of the Corvette. Lighter-weight body panels and a switch to aluminum construction for the rear differential, front frame crossmember, and intake manifold improved balance and even the aerodynamics. A transitional twilight era for its heritage namesake, production would quickly move away from the ‘Stingray’ moniker just three years later with the C4 generation.
