Used 1981 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is a rolling reminder of when America built sports cars with attitude, fiberglass confidence, and a V8 heartbeat you can feel in your chest. Finished in classic black over a striking red interior, this C3 presents exactly the way a proper driver’s Corvette should—honest, muscular, and ready to be enjoyed. With 65,352 miles, it has clearly been driven enough to stay healthy, not hidden away like a museum piece that forgot how to breathe. The interior is brand new, and it shows—fresh, clean, and unapologetically red, it feels like stepping into a time capsule that smells more like victory than nostalgia. Everything inside feels tight and purposeful, a reminder that this car was built to be driven, not scrolled past. The air conditioning blows cold (yes, cold—in a Corvette from 1981), making it perfectly suited for real-world enjoyment, even in Florida heat. Mechanically, this Corvette runs and drives very well, delivering that unmistakable V8 soundtrack and smooth road manners that made these cars icons. It’s the kind of car that starts easily, cruises confidently, and reminds you why analog performance still matters. The paint is about due for a refresh, which simply means the next owner gets the rare opportunity to take a classic Corvette and make it visually their own—without paying top-dollar “trailer queen” pricing up front. If you’re looking for a genuine, usable classic with strong bones, fresh interior, cold A/C, and undeniable presence, this Corvette checks the right boxes. It’s not pretending to be perfect—it’s proudly authentic. Come see it at Autohaus of Naples and drive your dream the way it was meant to be driven: loud, proud, and smiling the whole way home.
