The 1980 Corvette weighed 238 pounds less than a comparably equipped '79 model. This reduction was achieved by virtue of many changes, including redesigned front and rear impact-resistant bumpers, revised T-tops, thinner windshield and door glass, and thinner hood and door panels. The 1980 Corvette also used considerably more aluminum than its predecessors, including an aluminum intake manifold for the base engine (previously, only L82 engines got aluminum intakes) and an aluminum rear cross member and differential housing assembly. The latter saved a full 40 pounds all by itself.
Also for the 1980 the Corvette's aerodynamic efficiency was improved noticeably, but in the opinion of most, the body changes actually helped rather than hurt the car's appearance.
This 1980 Corvette presented here has been tastefully upgraded with the following modifications. The previous owner had the car completely striped down and painted in a custom Iridescent Red paint. Although the car is an original red car, the color is a nice subtle touch. The L48 350 cubic inch motor remains mostly stock with the exception of an Accel coil, Edelbrock intake and tasteful chrome accents.
This Vette is equipped with factory AC, power windows and Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission. This car drives wonderful and is ready for weekend shows or your next road trip.
The legendary T-top Stingrays are a must have for any car enthusiast. This is a great stylish performer in a rare color available for purchase without breaking the bank.
