It has just 49,436 original miles and has clearly been well cared for over the years. The car features a Camel leather interior along with many desirable options, including power steering, power brakes, power seat, power windows, A/C, adjustable sport mirrors, alloy wheels, and a tilt and telescopic steering column. It also includes an AM/FM cassette radio for a period-correct driving experience. Several original components remain in place, including the original air cleaner assembly, original valve covers, and original ignition shielding, which adds to the car’s authenticity and appeal for collectors. Recent maintenance includes fresh oil and filter, transmission fluid and filter service, and a full chassis inspection and lubrication. Additional work includes replacement of the idler arm, sway bar links, and power steering control valve, helping ensure the car drives properly. The previous owner took excellent care of the Corvette, and it shows throughout. The interior has also been refreshed with recent seat covers and carpet, helping maintain a clean and comfortable cabin. The 1981 model year was historically significant for Corvette. It was the last year for a carbureted engine and the first year a computer system was introduced in a Corvette. It was also the final year of production at the St. Louis assembly plant and the first year production began at the Bowling Green plant, making it a unique year in Corvette history.
