Basic information and history

The 1981 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the last classic C3 generations, with its long, sweeping body and distinctive Targa roof. For decades, the Corvette has been an icon of American sports car design, offering both performance and classic 80s looks, making these cars highly desirable among enthusiastic collectors and drivers.

This example has a documented and exciting ownership history. The car was sold new in the USA and then came to a car dealership in Beverly Hills, who in December 2021 sold it on to a car collector in Poland. The current owner, also an enthusiast and car collector, purchased the car in July 2023. The reason for the sale is simply lack of space and new projects awaiting - so an opportunity for the next Corvette enthusiast to take over the baton.

To date, the car has covered 76,000 km , and has retained its fine original condition. It has never been on Swedish roads before, but was imported directly via Poland. For those looking for a genuine, stylish Corvette with a good history and eye-catching design, this is a hard-to-beat option.

Notice: The AC is not cooling and the fuel gauge shows the wrong value.
