Chevrolet Corvette C3 (1980)
Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThis 1980 Corvette C3 features a timeless combination of white paint and red faux leather and is equipped with the coveted manual transmission. The body and interior are in very well-maintained condition, with only minimal signs of aging. With an H license plate and up-to-date maintenance, this is an interesting classic for Corvette enthusiasts.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Die Corvette C3 wurde im Herbst 1967 als dritte Corvette-Generation von Chevrolet eingeführt und bis Herbst 1982 gebaut. Sie wurde von 1969 bis 1976 auch Stingray (deutsch: Stechrochen) genannt, was auch als Schriftzug auf der Karosserie gezeigt wurde. Die C3 war trotz anfänglicher Verarbeitungsprobleme sehr erfolgreich. Der Bau des Cabrios endete dagegen aufgrund verschärfter Sicherheitsbestimmungen bereits zum Jahresende 1975. LG Tom
