1981 Chevrolet Corvette – NCRS Top Flight Winner!

Red w/Red Interior • 350ci V8 • 4-Speed Manual Transmission

🔥 The Last of the Legends!

1981 was no ordinary year for Corvette — it was the end of an era and the dawn of something new! The final year for a carbureted V8 and the last 4-speed manual you could buy in a C3, this was Corvette’s glorious farewell to pure analog performance.

It was also the year production shifted to Bowling Green, Kentucky, marking a whole new chapter in Corvette history! For a short time, both the old St. Louis and new Bowling Green plants built Corvettes side by side — a one-year-only event that makes the ’81 uniquely collectible.

This stunning Red-on-Red survivor has just 35k original miles and feels like it rolled out of the showroom yesterday. It’s loaded with great options — Power Driver’s Seat, Power Door Locks, Sport Mirrors, Aluminum Wheels, AM/FM Cassette — and yes, that ice-cold A/C just got a full refresh!

Underneath, you’ll find Corvette’s first fiberglass-reinforced mono-leaf spring, shaving off 36 lbs. and adding a sharper, smoother ride. It’s lighter, tighter, and pure late-C3 perfection!

This car isn’t just beautiful — it’s award-winning. As an NCRS Top Flight recipient, it’s certified for its authenticity, originality, and outstanding preservation.

💥 The last carb, the last 4-speed, and one of the best-preserved late-Sharks you’ll ever see!

If you’ve been searching for a time capsule that marks Corvette’s transition from classic to modern — this is it. Turn the key, feel the rumble, and step back into 1981.
