Dealer's description
HIGHLIGHTS: Numbers-matching 350 V8! Driver-quality C3 that wont break the bank! Repainted in its original Light Beige Matching beige vinyl interior T-tops, polished wheels, and classic C3 lines BODY OVERVIEW: This Corvette presents as a straight, honest C3 that hasnt been over-restored or over-modified. The body lines are crisp, the stance is right, and it carries itself exactly as a well-kept driver should. This is a car meant to be enjoyed, not hidden under a cover or kept in a plastic bubble. Owing to its fiberglass construction, body imperfections are minimal, though buyers should note that the drivers door needs new weatherstripping installed. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The Frost Beige repaint shows nicely and complements the C3s curves well. As an older repaint, its not without its flaws, but it is the original color. Minor chips and scratches are present, but nothing that detracts from the overall presentation. This thing is perfect for the enthusiast who prefers driving over detailing with a toothbrush! INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The beige vinyl interior presents nicely. The dashboard and door panels appear to have been recently reupholstered. A modern JVC Bluetooth stereo blends convenience with classic style, making it a piece of cake to add a soundtrack to your cruise! Last but not least, a tilt column makes for easier entry and exit, and if youve owned a C3 Corvette before, you know that every inch counts. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Powered by its numbers-matching L-48 350ci V8, this Corvette remains largely stock mechanically. The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts as it should, and makes for effortless cruising. Upgrades are sensible and limited, including drilled and slotted brake rotors at all four corners. Factory power steering and power disc brakes make it easy to drive, while power windows, power locks, and tilt column add everyday usability. WHAT YOULL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: Numbers-matching C3 at an accessible price point Attractive original color combination Classic Corvette presence without restoration-level stress WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: Its not a show car or a fresh restoration Minor paint imperfections Purists may notice the L-82 hood badges on an L-48 car DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?: Buyers should note that the power door locks are not functioning correctly, and the passenger door lock is seized. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?: This C3 is ideal for the enthusiast who wants an affordable, numbers-matching Corvette they can actually drive. Perfect for someone who values originality, usability, and classic V8 cruising over concours perfection and constant pampering.
