Description
1981 Corvette C3 Stingray 5. 7lt V8 Auto with Power steering.
Beautiful Colour deep royal blue with chrome mirror removable T-tops, alloy wheels.
Comprehensive history file/ invoices/ MOT’s etc. Car imported into UK in 1988.
Matching number car - engine and chassis numbers.
This is a well sorted reliable car that has been rebuilt/ refurbished from the chassis up.
Still scope for a few minor detail improvements ie. Stitching to seat squabs, and fuel gauge currently not working.
Main restoration carried out during 2013-2016, and then the car returned to the road in 2019, with only minimal fair-weather use since.
Receipts for over £18, 000 in parts/ labour.
Chassis/ suspension restored by Corvette Kingdom – video record available.
Interior work, electric windows, etc also by Corvette Kingdom.
Engine refurbished by mechanic – rebore/ crank regrind/ new pistons/ bearings/ camshaft etc.
New Magnaflow exhaust system, shock absorbers. Brakes etc.
Recent new fuel pump, ignition coil and sender module, ignition leads, spark plugs, etc.
Also, new brake master cylinder and servo.
You may find a cheaper, nice-looking Corvette but I am pretty sure it will not have been sorted to the extent that this car has. This has been refurbished and money spent where it matters, ie, chassis/ suspension/ brakes/ engine, transmission etc.
Speedometer showing 41, 380 miles, but speedometer appears to have been changed in 1993.
The MOT history shows the car having done 82, 016 miles in 1992, then 00263 miles in 1993.
The car has only done 5, 000 miles since the major restoration in 2013-2016.
Superb looking/ running car that starts, drives and handles really well.
Now a Historic vehicle (over 40 years old) therefore road tax is free.
No MOT reqd.
But best of all sounds superb !!!!Well restored Corvette that looks and sounds superb.
