Merit Cars Presents: This 1980 Chevrolet Corvette C3 is an attractive, affordable example of America's iconic sports car. Finished in satin black primer with a white interior, it combines classic Corvette styling with a strong-running drivetrain and documented recent mechanical work. The car is equipped with its matching-numbers L48 V8 engine and an automatic transmission. The odometer shows 88,390 miles. It presents well overall, with an appealing appearance from a few feet away. The satin-black finish is amateur-applied primer rather than a professional paint job, so buyers should view it as a presentable driver finish rather than a finished cosmetic restoration. The interior appears original and is well preserved. The white seats are nice, and the carpets are clean, giving the cabin a particularly attractive contrast with the black exterior. Mechanically, the Corvette is in very good working order. The engine starts easily and runs strong, the transmission shifts easily, and the custom exhaust produces a wonderful sound. Recent documented work includes a new wiring harness, transmission service, new spark plugs and complete brake work. The tires are new, and the headlights are working. The underside is nice and clean, adding to the overall appeal of this C3. This is a Corvette that can be enjoyed as it sits, without first undertaking an expensive cosmetic restoration. Alternatively, a future owner could improve the exterior finish and take the car further toward show condition. For someone looking for an affordable C3 with a matching-numbers L48 engine, good mechanical condition and classic Corvette character, this car deserves a look. Price: $8,950
