Power for the Vette comes from the matching numbers (stock) 350 cu in Chevrolet V-8 rated at 190 hp. and backed by a Super T10 4-speed. Please note that of the over 40,000 Corvettes produced that year, less than 6,000 units had manual transmissions. This was also the last year for a Corvette to run a carburetor. All Corvettes became fuel-injected starting in 1982.
Recent maintenance performed includes new brakes with a master cylinder, pads, and rotors. It should be also noticed that several years ago the right-hand tailpipe and muffler were replaced.
The interior is stock and shows little to no wear. All the factory gauges function including the AM/FM radio with a power antenna. Only the A/C does not currently function. Possibly needs a charge, but owner is not sure.
The original wheels show well with little to no ‘curb rash’ The 225x60Rx15 B.F.Goodrich radial tires are 6 years old and have less than 500 miles on them.
This Corvette runs and drives as good as it looks. It is a true classic.
