Dealer Description

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this striking 1981 Chevrolet Corvette finished in a bright red exterior over matching medium red leather interior. This C3 turns heads with its timeless curves, pop-up headlights, and signature removable T-top roof panels. The chrome 15-inch wire spoke wheels give the car a distinctive period-correct look that matches the personality of this late-model third-generation Corvette. Power comes from a 350ci V8 paired with a rare 4-speed manual transmission, making this one of the more desirable drivetrain combinations for 1981. The manual gearbox adds a level of driver engagement that many C3s from this era lack, offering true classic sports car fun with every shift. The car starts easily, idles smoothly, and delivers the V8 rumble that Corvette fans expect. Inside, the matching red leather interior adds a bold and cohesive style. Factory options include power windows, power locks, functioning air conditioning and heat, and a Futuramic AM/FM cassette stereo system. The cabin remains clean and original, down to the classic Corvette center gauge stack and sculpted dash design. The T-tops remove and store easily for sunny-day cruising. With C3 values continuing to rise and the appeal of analog sports cars gaining momentum, this 1981 Corvette offers both collectibility and weekend driving thrills. Add the rare manual transmission and bold color combo, and this one stands out from the crowd.
