| EXTERIOR:
The two tone exterior paint is in excellent condition and is 100% original. The paint’s finish has a high gloss. There are no major paint defects that have been excluded from the photos. It is incredible to find a Corvette of this vintage with original paint on the bumpers, especially in this fine condition. These cars have very long front ends that people almost always bumped into things. This car has survived 27 years without hitting anything. This is in addition to the fact that these bumpers usually shrink and fade even without collision. There are some spots in the paint, but nothing that can be seen from 5-10 feet away. The aluminum wheels are in excellent condition with a bright finish and absolutely no curb rash. The bumper fit and other body fit is excellent. The low front end of this car is not overly chipped and damaged from rock chips. Even the front spoiler, a very fragile and venerable area on these cars is in exceptional condition and pictured.
INTERIOR:
The red leather interior of the corvette is in nearly perfect condition for an original car. The leather seats are in excellent condition and look literally brand new. The The carpet is in great condition and is original, there is a very small tear on the passenger side, maybe one inch long. The rear carpet looks awesome, which is often neglected. Detail items such as the rear cargo cover and the pulls for the battery and storage compartments that are so fragile and usually broken, are not on this car. The car has never been smoked in, there is no ash in the ashtray or aroma what so ever. Corvette interiors are not known to wear well, and this car's original interior in such great condition is a testament to the loving care this car has received throughout the years. T-top covers are also included with the car.
MECHANICAL:
The corvette is in excellent mechanical condition, absolutely everything on this car works. This includes the a/c and cruise control. There are no issues at all with the performance or drivability of this Corvette. All of the options work, the headlights go up and down perfectly, and all of the lights and gauges work. This Corvette has plenty of power and is very fast. The car starts right away, drives exceptionally, and brakes straight. It is very tight and has been flawlessly reliable since I have owned it, which was also reiterated by the previous owner. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car. The exhaust is aftermarket with no catalytic converter and has a very healthy tone almost making the car sound like it has a cam. Most of the original, non-chrome, engine pieces are included with the car, this includes the alternator.
Also, for any 1981 Corvette you may look at, be sure to check the "check engine" light. The light should go on when the key is turned on then quickly go off when the car is started as a confirmation that the light is working. That majority of these cars have had the bulb removed to mask other problems. The "check engine" light on this car operates just as it should, going on with the car as a check and then going off when started.
