GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette for purchase. The C3 stingrays ran from 1968 all the way to 1982 evolving along the way. The 1980 Corvette weighed 238 pounds less than a comparably equipped '79 model. This reduction was achieved by virtue of many changes including redesigned front and rear impact-resistant bumpers revised T-tops thinner windshield and door glass and thinner hood and door panels. The 1980 Corvette also used considerably more aluminum than its p...redecessors including an aluminum intake manifold for the base engine (previously only L82 engines got aluminum intakes) and an aluminum rear cross member and differential housing assembly. The latter saved a full 40 pounds all by itself. Also for the 1980 the Corvette's aerodynamic efficiency was improved noticeably but in the opinion of most the body changes actually helped rather than hurt the car's appearance. This one owner Corvette offered here is highly documented and remains in excellent condition. The car was purchased new from Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids MI. The documentation is complete with a letter from General Motors to the original owner and shows exactly how he ordered the car. Upon purchase the owner of the car had it rust proofed with Autoarmor. The car comes with a binder full of receipts original window sticker warranty packet owner's manual and original sales agreement. The Corvette is powered by its 5.7 Liter 350 v8 paired to an automatic transmission. The car has air conditioning power 4 wheel disc brake system AM/FM radio power steering power windows tinted glass twin remote control body colored sport mirriors anti-theft audio alarm system t-tops tilt-telescopic steering wheel and color-keyed seat and shoulder belts. To find a car that comes with a one owner history is few and far between. Don't hesitate to step in and be the 2nd owner of this gorgeous Corvette.
