*****The Little Red Corvette***** Rare opportunity to own a mild resto-mod 1981 Chevrolet Corvette. Private sale from an auto enthusiast in dry, road salt-free Nevada. Stored indoors, ~300hp V8 (versus only 190hp stock), automatic, cold AC, very clean. One of only 4310 in this color/trim/spec from the factory. Clear title in my name. Clean VINCheck (similar to CarFax, and available via email).VIN# 1G1AY876XBS427711 [Update: Missing digit added].
Your chance to buy a great mild resto-mod Vette that is priced to sell. I am selling to fund patent costs for an invention I engineered. Way more invested than I wish to tally. The miles are believed to be correct, per previous owner. Only 3 prior owners in VINCheck report. Buyer inspections accommodated. I will also accommodate transport services.
This truly is "The Little Red Corvette" immortalized by Prince in his 1982 album entitled 1999. The single Little Red Corvette, washis biggest at that point in his career, and his first hit to reach the top 10. In the US alone, nearly a million fans purchased the single, and can appreciate this car as The Little Red Corvette.
Now..to the specs:

Gets compliments on a continual basis. New windshield, T-tops operate well, inside cosmetic t-top trim panels missing, but not needed. For my purposes, the car is a fair weather vehicle, and the t-tops just add security vs. a rag top, for parking.
Suspension/Steering/Chassis/Brakes: All new brake hoses front and rear, new front rotors and pads. New master cylinder New shocks front and rear New suspension bushings in front end, and front end alignment New power steering ram and idler arm Chassis in great shape, since no road salt is used in Nevada, and the air is very dry.

I was told me the mileage was accurate when I purchased. There were portions behind the dash that were replaced prior to my ownership. In addition to the engine and trans, much of the front end has been restomodded, including steering and suspension. And, yes, AC was also upgraded and modernized. I live in Nevada, where it can get into triple digits in the summer.
