Car history:
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this low mileage and completely numbers matching 1980 Corvette in spectacular condition. This car looks and drives awesome, needs nothing, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. This car has a very rare and neat original color combination of White over Oyster Leather. The low mileage is supported by not only the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured below, showing the mileage as "actual." This Corvette is an exceptional driver and I wouldn't hesitate to hop in and take a road trip. Please peruse all of the photos and numbers below to get a true sense of how clean and correct this Corvette really is. The previous owner was meticulous about the care of his vehicles and it shows in the condition of this car. He kept very detailed records showing he had over $17,000 into the car at the time of sale. He purchased this Corvette at the Kruise Auburn car show in 2008 for just under $13,900. There are numerous service records and receipts that accompany the car as well as other original documents, pictured below, from when the car was purchased new. Mr. Paul Courtney of Fairfield, OH (just outside of Cincinnati, OH) purchased this car brand new from Chris Volz Motors in Milan, IN on June 14, 1980. In fact, the original key ring from that dealership is still with the car. The 1980 Corvette was lighter than the previous year and featured new bumper caps, cleaner lines, and integrated spoilers. The body style was highly modernized in 1980 by these changes. The vehicle also become much more aerodynamic with these changes, with a drag coefficient .503 in 1979 to .443. 1980 was the last year for the much more desirable fully mechanical fuel and ignition systems. 1981 went to the "computer command control" system, which is much more prone to issues. As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call. Exterior: The white exterior is in beautiful driver condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has dazzling gloss and smooth finish. Often many Corvettes will have particularly chipped up front ends, this car does not. The underside of the front end, a very fragile part of the car, is in great condition as evidenced by the photos. This Corvette came equipped with aluminum wheels, which are in excellent condition with a brilliant finish and absolutely no curb rash. The tires look almost brand new. There are no major imperfections that have been excluded from the photos. There are some small blemishes and touch ups that were much too faint to show up in photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from ten feet away. The frame shows no rust and is totally solid as is everything else on the car. The car looks just as good in person as it does in the photos. Please note that all of the glass on this Corvette is date coded and original to the car as each piece predates the build date of May 30, 1980. Original glass is a good indication that the car has not been in a major accident and never sustained significant damage. Interior: The Oyster interior of the Corvette looks utterly brilliant. It is in near concourse quality condition. The seats look almost brand new with no rips, tears, or split seams. They are not worn in the typical areas such as where the driver gets in and out. The carpet is in like new condition as well with no stains, rips, or holes. This includes the rear carpet with is often neglected. The console is in great condition and fits correctly. The door panels are in great shape and unlike many Corvettes of this age, they fit well and tight to the door. The dash is not cracked or sun faded at all. This car has not been smoked in; there are no burn marks or aroma whatsoever. Please note that detail items, such as the pulls for the rear compartment doors, have not been pulled off on this car. The original pedal pads are not excessively worn, and as one can see from the pictures, show normal wear for a car with this mileage. Corvette interiors are not known to wear well, especially cars with a very light colored interior such as this Corvette, and the excellent condition of this interior is a testament to the meticulous care this car has received throughout it's life. The interior looks just as good in person as it does in the photos. Mechanical: This car is in awesome mechanical condition, it has no issues and is an exceptional driver. Even the a/c, cruise control, and power antenna all work; some of the most common issues on this vintage Corvette. The car drives terrifically. It is tight on the road and at highway speeds. There are no strange noises or vibrations. The transmission shifts smoothly. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The car starts right away every time and runs well; it is a bit cold blooded like most older carbureted cars. This Corvette has plenty of power, it is very fast, and the catalytic converter has been removed so the exhaust has a very healthy tone. The horn works as do the headlights, headlight override vacuum switch, all gauges (with the obvious exception of the clock), all interior and exterior lights, power windows, and wipers. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with t-tops out on a beautiful day. Overall Condition: Overall this Corvette is in magnificent condition. It is truly one of the nicest 1980 Corvettes we have encounter recently and we have it priced to sell. The previous owner had an appraisal done on the car, pictured below, which showed a value of $14,500 - $17,500. Numbers matching and originality are extremely important in Corvette pricing, and as you can see this car very original and correct. In addition, this car is also optioned with a very rare and desirable color combination. The value of the late C3 body style cars has gone up dramatically in the past few years. They are all solid investments for a collector. Cars like this are the Barrett Jackson stars of the future. Someone could drive and enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price. Thank you for looking and please email or call with any questions.
