Classic Car Overview
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Numbers-matching 350 V8!
• Driver-quality C3 that won’t 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 hasn’t 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 driver’s door needs new weatherstripping installed.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The Light Beige repaint shows nicely and complements the C3’s curves well. As an older repaint, it’s not without its flaws. 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 you’ve 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
