NOW LISTEN TO MY VETTE'S STORY:
After owning my 1980 T-Top for over 20 years, I'll be passing her on to her next owner, hopefully you! I bought her in 1992 as the 3rd owner when she had only 26k miles, so what can I say? We've grown old(er) together! If you're looking for just the right circa 1980 model Corvette in great condition, one that you can even add just a little more to be showed off or to customize to your own personal preference...well, you may not need to look any further than my offering today! In more recent years, it's been all casual, local weekend type drives with my Vette, so we've decided it's time...
It's been really special to me over the 20+ years to baby my Corvette and add just the right minimal customization that endeared her to me and my wife. Just look at the pictures I've posted... she's a true beaut inside and out, isn't she? No "plastic surgery" either! ...just don't remind her of her true age! ;-)
Whether as a daily driver, or a weekend sunshine cruiser, my Vette will serve you faithfully as her new owner and to your liking, just as she has for me these past 23 years. She's ready to hit the roads with you! Along with her Owners Manuals and even the original new car Bill of Sale, I have lots of receipts for her upkeep and whatever other work. This will help provide you with her history on which to build yours with her.
With a few special touches, she's basically stock and OEM, which includes the glass T-Top (smoked glass shading) as the most obvious factory feature. No water leaks through the top or windows - all tight. Power windows, locks, antenna, air conditioning, tilt/telescopic steering column, electric rear window defroster.
NEW/RECENT UPDATES!
In more recent times, I've given her the usual extra care a car her age needs to be in prime condition. This includes:
1. New tires
2. New spinner hubs (classy classic touch!) to the OEM Corvette aluminum mag wheels
3. New master brake cylinder with 2 brake calipers
4. Replaced rear differential bushings, U-joints, strut arm, wheel seal, starter
5. Complete professional high-quality paint job in pearl white (2004)
6. New leather seat covers (no tears, stains)
7. New carpet, trim - included with sale, but not yet installed
SPECIAL EXTRAS!
To have this Vette be my baby, I had these special touches added by my master technician that you will love:
1. Bored out the original 5.7 liter V-8 to 383 cubic inches, along with a mild (smooth idling) racing cam (tremendous boost of power!)
2. With that was added high intake manifold and new 4 bbl carburator
3. To better transfer that additional power, also added the Quick Shift to the automatic transmission
4. Custom stainless steel exhaust pipes from where the converter would be to the tips; and muffler, too
5. Few other touches like chrome air filter cover, chrome brake reservoir cover
WHAT'S LEFT TO DO? Not much really and haven't done myself because I've been driving her only minimal miles in the last few years:
1. After market radio/cassette - believe fuse may be out
2. Power antenna disconnected
3. Power door lock actuators to be replaced
4. A/C needs recharging
5. New carpet & trim parts included with sale for area behind the seats, just needs installation now
6. Floor mats are aftermarket
7. Frankly, that's about it that I'd otherwise be doing if I keep her
OK, HOW TO BUY!
I decided to post it on Ebay Classifieds at a very, very low price. Frankly lower than I really want to sell it at, but I'm pricing it about where I know it will sell... and sell QUICK! Maybe I'll wiggle just a bit on price, but come on, check the other pricing for any Vette of this vintage this clean and you'll agree it's better than a fair price. But ask me and we'll go from there.
I'll need you to deposit by PayPal a $500 Deposit when you buy my Corvette to hold it for you. The balance needs to be paid within 5 days. Payment by Bank Check or Money Order only please.
PICKING UP THE VETTE:
It's time to sell her as is. Pick up of your Corvette needs to be within a reasonable period of a couple of weeks. That should be plenty of time for you to arrange a transport or if you plan to come pick her up yourself in Katy (west Houston), Texas 77449. But regardless, you'll have to pick her up before the middle of April, say April 15th, no exceptions.
I'm ready and willing to try and answer your questions, but please don't wait until the last few hours of the auction to flood me with last minute questions. Ask them now because I might be away from the computer or phone. I much prefer that you please ask your questions through the ebay listing. I'm posting my phone numbers below, but I don't always carry it with me. So best wishes on your bids to win and have HER be YOUR Classy, Classic Vette!
Thanks for watching - Cheers!
