Vehicle Detail

Hello and welcome to my auction, I am listing here with NO RESERVE my 1980 L48 Corvette with numbers matching L48 190-hp V-8 engine and automatic transmission. The condition of the car is excellent, it is very fast and powerful. Of course it is not a show winner car but the pictures speak of its original and wonderful condition, I would rate it as 9 over 10. It was painted at some point in time, it is so nice for a car of its age and there is no rust or holes all over the car. The odometer shows less than 38K miles, I believe it is true because of the condition of the car, you can see the condition of the original seats and the steering wheel, the door panels and the carpet, I think these items will tell you about how much a car has been driven over the years and these items show excellent condition which led me to conclude that the odometer is exact, however it is my personal opinion, it is not a confirmation, so don't build on it. Here is what I know about the car (what needs attention): The power door locks dont work Needs a windshield wiper motor (I think) Cruise was removed by a previous owner Power antenna doesnt work Emergency Brake may be not connected The car start easily and run smoothly as it should be, it is fully loaded with all options. The white exterior color is one of the most desirable colors for these Corvettes, the white clean interior also reflects a unique beauty for this white on white eye-catcher car. The carpet is clean, the seats are very nice, the steering wheel is original like all the parts of this car, the steering wheel seems like it was not touched before! You can check the pictures and see how nice it is. The door panels are also excellent, the original radio has been replaced at some point in time with a CD player, if I was the owner at that time I wouldn't touch it because I like the car to be as original as possible, now it is up to you whether you want to buy an authentic Delco radio and install it (which can be easily found on ebay for less than 100$) or keep this one installed as is. I bought this car with a Bill of Sale only (no title) which is all that is required for a car in this age in the State of Georgia (where it was last registered). I will provide copies of my Bill of Sale and those of the last 2 owners and a copy of the registration from the last person to register the car in Georgia. You are welcome to inspect the car by person, the car is garage kept in my brother's garage and available for inspection in Miami - Florida 33122. If you want to see the car in person, you have to contact me through ebay one day before your visit because I am not available in Miami, I am working overseas that's why I need one day notice so I can arrange your visit with my brother Mario located there in Miami so he can show you the car for your inspection, I will also provide the detailed address ahead of your visit. This Corvette is a fine example of a real Muscle car, from the moment you open the door to when you smell the leather to when you start the engine and start moving, you will enjoy a unique pleasure of muscle car excitement that you can't feel except in a real one like this, you're the king of the road! I am selling this Corvette because I don't have space for it anymore in my garage, I am keeping it right now in my brother's garage in Miami. I have 4 cars while I have parking only for two! Therefore two cars must go. I know the value of this Corvette and I am pretty sure that it will keep increasing with time. This Corvette's VIN decoding numbers are as follows: 1Z878AS403570 Sequence Code Description 1......................GM division.........................1 = Chevrolet 2......................Car Line............................Z = Corvette 3 & 4.................Body style..........................87 = Two Door Coupe (1978 to 1980) 5......................Engine type.........................8 = L48 (1980) 6......................Model year from GM...............A = 1980 7......................Final Assembly Plant...............S = St. Louis 8 to 13...............Production Sequence Number......403570 In 1980, there was an extensive design update for the Corvette and it was described by the most beautiful of all times since the first model introduction back in 1953. This year also the Corvette lost almost 250 pounds of its weight, the hood and doors were lighter while the door glass was thinner in addition to other modifications which led to more performance. All sales are final, please read well the description, see all the detailed pictures and come to see the car in person if you would like before bidding. Only bid if you are sure and have your money in pocket. NO EXCUSES LATER ON PLEASE!!! The car is being sold "AS IS WHERE IS" therefore there is no warranty implied or expressed. Shipping is at buyer's expense. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Deposit of US $500.00 due within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close. Please remember: THE HIGHER BIDDER WILL GET THE CAR!!! NO RESERVE!!! Thanks for Looking, Good Luck and Happy Bidding...
