This Chevrolet Corvette C3 got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette was sold new through Potamkin Motors in North Plainfield, New Jersey, and remained with its original owner until it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2023. The car is powered by a 350ci v8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in Dark Claret Metallic over beige leather upholstery. Equipment includes a Positraction differential, 15″ eight-slot alloy wheels, removable glass roof panels, an AM/FM radio, power windows, and air conditioning. This C3 Corvette shows 4,400 miles and is now offered in California by the selling dealer at no reserve with its original purchase invoice, a window sticker, and a clean New Jersey title.
The car is finished in Dark Claret Metallic and features removable glass T-top roof panels, pop-up headlights, side marker lights, fender air vents, and quad taillights.
The 15″ eight-slot alloy wheels are mounted with Goodyear Polysteel Radial tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel power-assisted discs.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in beige leather along with a color-matching dash, center console, door panels, and carpeting. Interior amenities include an AM/FM radio, power windows and locks, and air conditioning.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. A clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level are located in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 4,400 miles.
The 350ci L48 V8 was factory rated at 190 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential.
Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Potamkin Motors in North Plainfield, New Jersey, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total price of $15,665.
