Car history:
"Do you believe in Miracles?" The American people are still celebrating their triumphant Olympic Gold Medal Hockey victory in Lake Placid, New York earlier in the year. The date is Friday October 3rd, 1980. Larry Holmes has just defeated Muhammad Ali in eleven rounds for the World Heavyweight Title, Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust” is number one on the U.S. pop charts and Liz Clark of Montgomery, IL is about to drive off the showroom floor in her brand new 1980 Silver on Oyster Leather Corvette. She is trading in her 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix towards the $16,094.00 selling price at Jim Wulff Chevrolet, now Don McCue, at 2015 E. Main Street St. Charles, IL 60174. It was her dream to one day own a Corvette and today was the day for that dream to come true. She chose a special one, optioned with the following: 1YZ87: CORVETTE SPORT COUPE $14,345.24 AU3: POWER DOOR LOCKS $140.00 C49: REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER $109.00 FE7: GYMKHANA SUSPENSION (1 OF 9,907) $55.00 K30: CRUISE CONTROL $123.00 MX1: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION $0.00 N90: ALUMINUM WHEELS (4) $407.00 QXH: WHITE LETTER SBR TIRES 255/60R15 $426.16 UM2: AM-FM STEREO RADIO W/ 8-TRACK $155.00 U75: POWER ANTENNA $56.00 U81: DUAL REAR SPEAKERS $52.00 ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER $16,094.00 Liz drove her new Corvette sparingly, only on sunny days, insisting her dream car be garage kept from day one. She also kept her special sports car factory original without any modifications, accruing only 10,354 original miles in her near thirty year ownership. Fast forward to the present. V.I.N 1Z878AS436885 is that same original, unrestored 1980 Corvette with 10,403 original miles. This unique Corvette retains all original options and equipment including factory tires and exhaust. The exterior St. Louis paint is original, untouched and in remarkable condition. The original, optional Code I22 Oyster interior shows as new. All underhood components including smog equipment are factory original. The undercarriage is Benchmarktm quality with many original chalk marks, paint daubs, and factory markings present. The factory issued “temporary” spare is original, and has never hit the ground. This one-owner Corvette starts, hits high idle, and drives like you would expect a 10,403 mile Corvette would, as new. The factory C60 air conditioning still blows ice cold. This true time-capsule is also fully documented with the following: ORIGINAL ILLINOIS TITLE DATED 10/28/1980 ORIGINAL SIGNED AND NOTARIZED SINGLE OWNERSHIP AND MILEAGE AFFIDAVIT DATED 06/03/2010 ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE DATED 10-06-1980 ORIGINAL TAX REPORT DATED 10-06-1980 ORIGINAL RETAIL INSTALLMENT CONTRACT ORIGINAL KEY CODES ORIGINAL 1980 CHEVROLET CONSUMER INFORMATION BOOKLET ORIGINAL VISOR SLEEVE HIGHLIGHTING MIRROR, TURN SIGNAL, HEADLIGHT DIMMER, AND KEY REMOVAL ORIGNAL 1980 CHEVROLET CORVETTE OWNER’S MANUAL If you have been looking for an honest, one owner, ultra-low mile, fully documented, ready for judging, unrestored Corvette in a striking color combination, this is the special Corvette for you. It is rare in the collector car hobby to purchase a low mile Corvette from the original owner. It is even rarer to acquire one with 10K original miles. This truly is one of those unique opportunities. I encourage any and all interested parties to inspect this wonderful piece of American automotive history at any time. I assure you, that you will not be disappointed. Feel free to contact Tom at 630-337-3481 to schedule an appointment. I have an additional forty plus digital photographs, including several undercarriage shots, documenting the incredible original condition of this outsatnding automobile.
