Default c3 corvette tilt

Im looking at purchasing a 1980 c3 corvette and im wondering if these cars come standard with an adjusting steering wheel?

for example on more modern cars you can normally tilt the wheel closer to your legs, or raise it up to give you more room around your thighs.

sorry for not knowing what exactly this is called.

FWIW: standard equipment for all 80s included AM/FM radio, power steering, power brakes, power windows, factory air, and the tilt/telescopic steering column. Leather upholstery was standard, but the buyer had a choice of cloth and transmission (4 spd or AT) at no charge.
