Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette C3 is a facelifted T-Top model that was originally registered in the US and imported to the UK in 2019. While generally in good, usable condition, it requires some recommissioning and has a known issue with the door locks.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in good overall useable condition that could quite easily be improved upon if required depending upon your requirements and expectations. It has been part of a private collection of late with little or no use so an element of recommissioning may be required before any extensive use. There is an issue with the Corvette door locks that will require investigation and some rectification.
