1981 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner in Parnell, IA

Last year of the carbureted Corvette and second last year of the C3. I'm the third owner (five years). This car looks essentially original with the exception of new motor and upgraded stereo/CD changer. Horn Automotive Engineering professionally built up and installed the new high performance 350 (355) CID crate motor. Estimated HP is 375 HP but has not been officially dyno'd. Complete maintenance records show this car was regularly and meticulously serviced from the very beginning. Motor has approximately 6,400 miles since build. I would not hesitate to drive this car across country, and I know the previous owner and I drove it very little and stored it in the late fall/winter months. This car was restored in its factory original Charcoal Metallic color and Silver/Grey interior and has the TH-350 automatic transmission. Engine build invoice shows final investment on the motor was over $6,000. Mileage: 87,000+ (about 6,400 miles on new motor). This car looks like new and runs like new and turns heads. Drive it anywhere worry-free.

This is a must see if you desire a Vette of this vintage in excellent condition. $15,000 OBO. IF STILL LISTED, IT'S STILL AVAILABLE. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE.
Call 641-325-1007. We can begin negotiations after viewing the vehicle if you like what you see.
