Exterior
The black exterior is in presentable driver condition. As one can see in the photos
the finish has decent gloss and smooth finish. There are no major imperfections
that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. The paintjob does have
some age and blemishes, which is evident in the photos. I have done my best to
accurately and objectively photograph the car and show the flaws, but some are
too small or cannot be picked up by the camera. One should really view the car in
person to get the best and most accurate idea of what the car really looks like.
For the most part however, the car looks in person as it does in the photos. The
wheels are in great condition with a nice finish and no major curb rash. The tires
are almost brand new with about 95% tread left. There are no rust issues with
this car. The frame is solid with no rust in front of the rear tire around the "key
hole" and there no rust visible on the "A" pillar around the windshield.

Interior
The black interior is in very good condition. As stated above, most of the major
interior components have been replaced so much of the interior is brand new.
The seats look literally brand new with no rips, splits seams, or signs of excessive
wear. They are not worn in the typical areas such as where the driver gets in and
out. The carpet is in nice shape with no rips, tears, or holes. This includes the
rear carpet, which is often neglected. The door panels look like they have been
replaced and are in great shape; unlike many Corvettes of this age, they also fit
well and tight to the door. The dash is brand new with no cracks, fading, or sun
damage. The rear cargo cover operates properly and has no slits or tears. The
steering wheel has not been replaced and does show its age. The original pedal
pads are not excessively worn and, as one can see from the photos, show normal
wear for a car with this mileage. This car has not been smoked in and there is
aroma of cigarettes whatsoever.

Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in good mechanical condition. The car starts right away
every time, idles well, runs well. The car drives nicely and it feels good on the road.
There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. The brakes are responsive
and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts well throughout
the power band. Also, the engine compartment is nicely detailed as one can see
in the photos. The previous owner told me that he just installed this newly rebuilt
engine, unfortunately I do not have a receipt from the work completed. We have
only driven the car about 5 miles on the road so I'm sure there are still some
mechanical bugs and loosed ends to tie up, but the car is usable in its current
state and drives surpassingly well. This Corvette has plenty of power, much more
then what came from the factory, and it is very fast. It also sounds like the car
has a mild cam. There is a bit of play in the steering. The horn works as do the
headlights, fan for the heater and a/c, all gauges (even the clock works), and
wipers. The vacuum for the headlights works as both lights pop up with the
headlight switch. The driver's side power window works fine, but the passenger
side will get stuck in about 3 inches from the top and needs helps to get up and down.
The only items I am aware of on the car that do not work are the cruise control,
interior lights, and horn, which are all very common problems on this era Corvette.
There is also some belt noise audible at higher rpm. There may be other troubles
with the car that I have possibly overlooked so I would suggest that the buyer
inspect the car in person if possible. It is still a pleasure to drive this Corvette,
especially with the t-tops out on a beautiful day.

Overall Condition
Overall, this 1981 Corvette is in good driver condition. This car is a great value
with A TON of potential and we have priced it to sell. The car turns heads and gets
ton of attentions wherever it goes. The value of the C3 body style cars has gone
up dramatically in the past few years. They are all solid investments for a collector.
One could drive and enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than
the purchase price with minimal effort.
