Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful numbers matching 1981 Corvette in spectacular condition with only 43,765 original miles.
This Corvette looks fantastic, runs great, and is an excellent driver.
The White (10) over Cinnabar Leather interior (672) is a very rare and beautiful color combination that looks stunning on the car.
It is also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag, which is pictured in this ad.
Cinnabar is a very unique and attractive trim color and was only available for one year, 1981.
This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Corvette that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value.
One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on the 1980 and 1981 Corvettes is strong right now and on the rise.
In our experience the 1980 and 1981 model years draw a good premium over other late C3 Corvettes; this is especially true for very low mileage and premium examples like this car.
The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, showing the mileage as Actual.
Please peruse all of the photos, the extensive list of numbers, video, and information to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and original this Corvette really is.
A copy of the AutoCheck report for this car is shown in the photos.
Please note that it is totally clean, shows no accident history, and verifies the low mileage as original.
The car also comes with original documentation such as the original manual, 1981 Chevrolet Consumer Information Booklet, 1981 GM Maintenance Booklet, and much more.
Besides the correct paint and trim codes, this Corvette is Numbers Matching meaning the engine and transmission in the car are the correct and original units that were installed in the car new at the factory in 1980.
Virtually every part we checked on the car is correct with the proper part numbers and appropriate date codes.
We have run the numbers on literally hundreds of Corvettes over the years and there are very few that are so correct and original.
Even very detailed parts like the distributor, carburetor, starter, and even all the glass are all date coded and original.
The last six digits of the VIN, 407899, are stamped on the engine pad and the engine is original to the car.
The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle.
We hand pick each car after careful inspection.
Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did.
We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected.
Please take the time to scrutinize each picture.
We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase.
If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.
