Vehicle Description.
Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful 1980 Corvette in excellent condition with only 36,580 original miles.
This Corvette looks fantastic, runs great, and is an excellent driver.
The White (10) over Claret Leather interior (792) is an iconic, beautiful, and very rare color combination that looks stunning on the car.
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 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.
Besides the correct paint and trim codes, this Corvette is Numbers Matching meaning the engine in the car is the correct and original unit that was installed in the car new at the factory in 1979.
Even very detailed parts like the distributor, carburetor, and even all the glass is all date coded and original.
The last six digits of the VIN, 400876, are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car.
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.

As one would expect from a paintjob with this many years on it there are some touch ups, light cracking, and some other small blemishes that were too faint to show up in the pictures.
The paint does show some age so we would encourage any perspective buyer to look at the car in person if possible to get the best sense of what the car truly looks like.
As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very clean underneath.
The frame is totally solid with no rust around the key hole area in front of the rear tire.
We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.
