See link for walk-around / start-up video

1980 ALL ORIGINAL Chevrolet Corvette with ONLY 15,000 MILES!!! EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES.
Overall, exceptionally clean. No Rust. Wheels look like new. No scratches or curb rash.
LOW RESERVE. Set at the price in which I've already had multiple offers. For a car like this, wanted to test the market as an auction listing is a great way to determine true "market value". If in the unlikely event it doesn't reach the reserve, may consider selling to the highest bidder, if there are enough bids placed to give me confidence that the bids represent its market value. The more bids there are, the more I'll be convinced.
This car was driven around 1,500 miles per year from 1980 to 1990. It was then put in a garage and sat for the past 34 years.
Pulled the car out, changed the fluids and it fired right up. It does run a little rough. Carburetor likely needs to be gone through after sitting for so long. The fact that it started right up after all these years, is amazing. Give it a quick tune up and it should run great!
Body is perfectly straight all around. Paint looks amazingly well for a 40+ year old car. The only notable flaw is on the front bumper. At the center point, the paint is chipped. There is another chip on the left front. Repaint the front bumper and it would be nearly perfect. Just a few minor typical small rock chips around other areas of the car. Some of the trim pieces have paint that has faded away (Around t-tops, etc), typical for this age of car.
Interior is overall in very good shape. Only items noted that need attention include: Left door pull handle seems to be missing a bolt on the top end. And the emergency brake release button slides off the pull handle. Other than those two items, no excess wear noted.
Still has the original bags for storing the T-Tops.
Car is all original with ONLY 15,000 MILES!!! Original wheels AND TIRES. Very rare to find one of these cars with original tires.

CLEAN TITLE.

I RECENTLY ACQUIRED THE CAR VIA A LIEN SALE. CAR IS NOW FREE AND CLEAR WITH ALL LOANS / LIENS PAID OFF.

As part of the as-is sale, seller will provide the buyer with all paperwork necessary to register and title the vehicle, including documentation that all liens have been satisfied. As with any used car purchase, buyer is responsible for all costs associated with getting the car smogged and registering the car into their own name.All loans / liens are already paid off. If sold to a California buyer, happy to go with you to DMV to ensure an easy transaction as I've sold several of these over the past few months.

CHECK MY FEEDBACK. VERY EASY PROCESS. HAVE HAD VERY HAPPY BUYERS AS I DO ALL I CAN TO DISCLOSE ANTHING AND EVERYTHING IN AN EFFORT TO UNDER-PROMISE AND OVER-DELIVER. I ALSO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO ASSIST IN MAKING THIS A SMOOTH AND EASY TRANSACTION. I AM FLEXIBLE AND WILL WORK WITH THE BUYER IF DEADLINES CAN'T BE MET PRECISELY, AS LONG AS THE BUYER COMMUNICATES OPENLY WITH ME.


ONLY BID IF YOU PLAN TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PURCHASE. BIDDING IS A BINDING CONTRACT TO BUY THE CAR IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION. CAN'T AFFORD TO WASTE TWO WEEKS IN HAVING TO RELIST AND/OR PAY LISTING FEES AGAIN.

$500 DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 12 HOURS OF AUCTION END. REMAINING BALANCE IS DUE, VIA CASH UPON DELIVERY OR WIRE TRANSFER WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION END. DEPOSIT IS NOT REFUNDABLE UNLESS WE MUTUALLY AGREE TO NOT COMPLETE THE SALE. CHECK MY FEEDBACK. I AM VERY TRANSPARENT. IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE CAR WHEN YOU COME TO PICK IT UP, I WON'T HOLD YOU TO THE SALE AND WILL REFUND THE DEPOSIT. I WANT THE BUYER TO BE HAPPY WITH THEIR PURCHASE. IT IS NOT REFUNDABLE IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION AND SIMPLY CHANGE YOUR MIND OR DIDN'T READ THE DETAILS ABOVE BEFORE BIDDING OR ANY OTHER REASON THAT IS SOLELY DUE TO THE BUYER'S ACTIONS AND NOT OF MY OWN DOING.POINT BEING, PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE LISTING IN ITS ENTIRETY AND ARE READY AND ABLE TO COMPLETE THE SALE IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION. THANK YOU!

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP THE VEHICLE AND/OR MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT SHIPPED / TRANSPORTED TO YOUR LOCATION. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PICKING UP THE CAR OR HAVING IT SHIPPED / TRANSPORTED TO THE BUYER'S LOCATION.

BASED ON THE STICKER ON THE CAR, IT APPEARS IT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED TO DRIVE ON THE ROADS SINCE 1990. AFTER THAT LONG, IT HAS LIKELY DROPPED OUT OF THE SYSTEM. AS SUCH, WILL BE SOMEWHAT COMPARABLE TO AN OUT OF STATE PURCHASE. DMV WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION OF THE CAR.

AS NOTED: THIS IS A LIEN SALE. ALL PAPERWORK IS INCLUDED AND VERY EASY PROCESS TO REGISTER / TITLE THE CAR IN CALIFORNIA WITH A "CLEAN TITLE". IF YOU ARE OUT OF STATE, CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL DMV TO BE SURE THEY WILL ACCEPT LIEN SALE PAPERWORK FROM CALIFORNIA FIRST. SOME STATES REQUIRE THAT THE CAR BE REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA FIRST, THEN TITLE CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER STATE. IT IS THE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF YOUR STATE REQUIREMENTS. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REGISTRATION COSTS AND COST TO TRANSFER TITLE INTO THEIR NAME. IF YOUR STATE REQUIRES IT BE REGISTERED IN CA FIRST, THERE WILL BE COSTS TO DO SO WITH THE CA DMV. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THOSE COSTS. I CAN GUARANTEE CLEAR TITLE IN CALIFORNIA. I CANNOT DO SO FOR OTHER STATES SINCE GUIDELINES FOR EACH STATE CAN VARY. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA AND ARE NOT SURE, I WOULDN'T BID ON THE CAR. THIS CAR IS AN AS-IS SALE. THANK YOU.

COMMENTS CLEARLY STATE IT IS AN AS-IS SALE, BUT WANTED TO OVER CLARIFY THE DETAILS FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY. AGAIN, IN CALIFORNIA, ITS A VERY EASY, STRAIGHT-FORWARD PROCESS TO REGISTER AND TITLE THE CAR. FOR ANY OUT OF STATE BUYERS, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THEY WILL ACCEPT LIEN SALE PAPERWORK TO REGISTER AND TITLE THE CAR. AS A 44 YEAR OLD CAR.
