Showing just 8,874 miles on the dash (title is exempt for mileage), this Vette is loaded with desirable options including power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, power driver seat, dual adjustable sport mirrors, alloy wheels, glass T-tops, AM/FM/Cassette radio, and a beautiful silver-gray leather interior. It retains many original components like the valve covers, air cleaner assembly, ignition shielding, and shifter. The car has had the same owner since the 1990s and was previously located in Las Vegas. We recently performed maintenance including an oil and filter change, rear-end grease and additive, chassis checked and lubricated, and replaced the tongue bushing, fan clutch, and power steering hoses. This Corvette runs and drives nice — a real pleasure to enjoy on the road. 1981 marked a historic transition for the Corvette, being the final year of production at the St. Louis plant and the first year at Bowling Green. With low production numbers for the manual transmission and this level of originality, it’s a standout find.
