Used 1980 Chevrolet Corvette for Sale near Washington, DC

Overview
While 1980 marked the beginning of a decade known for excess, the Chevrolet Corvette was reducing its exterior rather than adding to it. Both the front and rear bumper of this model were made sleeker, giving the Corvette a meaner, leaner look.
The US government also stepped in on the paring down: new cars were not allowed to have speedometers with readings up to 85. Despite the limits in speed readings, the Corvette remained as powerful as always, with its 350ci, 230 horsepower engine (except in California where it was limited to 305ci, 180hp).

I think the Corvette is the best sports car out there. They handle great and are always reliable. Trigger has never let me down once. We've won every race. She always turns in the fastest times. Nothing can catch her.

The look of this car speaks for itself. It is just a sharp looking car. It runs and drives great. Is a fun car for an occasional drive. The bad thing is the space. I am a bigger guy and it is pretty tight for me getting in and out. No back seats. But if you are looking for a sports car to drive around on weekends or nice days, this is definitely for you!
