For Sale: 1980 Chevrolet Corvette in Muncie, Indiana for sale in Muncie, IN
Vehicle Description I bought this Corvette from the second owner who had it for 40 years.
Beautiful and desirable red on red L82.
This is a survivor, unaltered in any way since it was built.
Matching numbers.
It doesn't get any better than this, the one you've been waiting for.
One of the last L82 Corvettes to be made, built in the last month of production for 1980 Corvettes.
1981's came with the L81 with an anemic 190 hp.
The car is in amazing condition for being 43 years old.
Original paint, never wrecked.
Original tires and yes, they are cracking.
Perfect for shows but not for long trips.
The original air filter is still in the car.
Spare tire may not have been used, still has nubs, but is also cracking from age.
Jack is in it's place.
Smog pump present.
Paint shines as well as enamel can shine.
Even from the factory when new the paint on these cars was not that good.
This car was built in St.
Louis in the last month of production in August of 1980.
Chevrolet switched to base coat/clear coat in the new Bowling Green plant for 1981.
Minor cracking and checking of the paint which is normal for these cars.
There are some chips and a pretty big scratch, watch the videos.
Wheels are mint with zero curb rash or loss of finish.
Interior is 99%.
Original dated T-top bags, look unused.
Radio works but I can't get a tape to play.
A/C is not working presently and I'm troubleshooting it, all components are present and there appears to be no leaks in it, still R12.
Dash is nice and not cracked.
Power locks work intermittenly.
Power windows zip up and down as fast as any car I've had.
Never anything painted, not on the body or on the engine.
The shiny black on the air cleaner is original.
To start it when cold you pump it, runs a bit cold natured until warmed up.
Since the air filter was never changed you can bet the carb has had no one work on it either.
Probably still has the original spark plugs.
Plug wires are original because I can see the date on them.
These are things that could be changed to make the car run smoother but I'll leave that to the next owner.
It is a candidate for Survivor certification at some Corvette shows.
I see several 1980 Corvettes that have been painted or modified, this car is as original as you will find.
New tires would be a tremendous improvement over the old hard tires, again, that is up to the new owner.
Original owner's manual and glovebox stuff including the warranty card, filled in by the first owner.
Original dealer's copy spec sheet showing how the car was optioned and prices.
Several receipts over the years of various maintenance work.
The car pulled to the right when driving and also while braking.
I had an alignment done and installed new front brake calipers, pads, and hoses.
Drives straight and stops straight.
Transmission shifts as it should.
I put on a new coolant overflow cap.
The second owner's moved from Minnesota to South Dakota and were negligent in keeping the original miles on the title.
Receipts show mileage over the years however.
I have a clear Indiana title in my name.
Some interesting and useful information about 1980 red/red L82 Corvettes.
All numbers are from the Corvette Black Book.
In 1980 GM built 40,614 Corvettes.
5069 (12.
5%) were L82's.
5714 (14%) were red.
By extrapolation we can conclude that there were only 710 red L82 cars built.
There were 7184 (18%) Corvettes with red leather.
Again by extrapolation it is possible that only 128 were made with the red on red combination.
A good amount of the red cars probably had black interiors, or some other colors that were available.
Taking it further, this car came with the optional wider 60 series tires.
13,140 (32%) of all cars had them making this Corvette possibly 1 of 42 in this configuration.
Car comes with a new car cover and new (non GM) glass tops still in the box.
Personally, I love this car in red with red interior.
When you say red on red L82 your mind thinks of 1979 and 1980 Corvettes.
This one is one of the last to be built, number 38575 of 40614.
They are only original once, don't settle for anything less.
Sold as-is, no warranty written or implied.
Save fees buying privately.
$100 non-refundable deposit due in 24 hours.
Balance due within 7 days via bank check, cash, or bank transfer.
I will assist your shipper.
The last video I took in the garage trying to show the different reflections and how straight and shiny the car is.
