1981 4-speed 57xxx miles in AZ
 

Very original AZ title "box A" 57xxx mile car with the 4 speed manual transmission. Always an AZ car. No hit body and pristine frame. Paint is base/clear coat, probably about 8 years old and excellent. Original matching numbers drivetrain. Factory 2.72 axle ratio results in about 2500 rpm at 75 mph. Car is coded as White with Medium Red leather interior. This is a high option car:

Of course by '81 all Corvettes had A/C, positraction axle, tilt/tele steering wheel, power steering, power brakes, and power windows. Still has the original 24 gallon fuel tank. A/C in this car has been converted to R134a and works properly.
The following parts were replaced last year. Many of them did not need to be replaced but due to the age of this car they were done for reliability purposes.
Universal joints (6)

Transmission and differential were flushed and filled with Mobil 1 Synthetic gear oil

Engine oil is Mobil 1 Synthetic and I add a Zinc additive
I also add a few ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel tank with every fill. This not only keeps the fuel tank pristine but also provides upper cylinder lubrication.
Car is excellent throughout. Adult owned. This is my 14th Corvette.

Nice car. What is "box A"?

Beautiful car. Good luck with the sale. Fellow member sold his two owner 81 4 speed with 25k miles for $11,000. Hopefully, you can pull more.

Arizona uses box A on a title to show true / actual miles.

Thank you.

Do you have any undercarriage pics with the car up on a lift?

thanks,

Underside
 

Sorry, don't have a lift and you know how low these cars are. Here is one photo I took. Can't see much but underside is original and unrestored. Thanks, Paul.

'81 Pricing
 

Don't know what his car was like or how long ago but......NADA shows "average" value at 20k. My car is definitely above average. Dealers are asking low 20's for what are probably average cars. Also haven't seen another one with a 4 speed. So from that my car is a good value. But no big deal........not concerned about selling it.

Beautiful ride

I live in Dewey Az and have an 81' 4 speed. Not even close to being as nice as yours yet. Mine has 85,000 +/- in the A box. I'm looking forward to fixing it up. It's nice to know it will have a decent value when I'm dome��

New price: $16500

underside pics
 

I would be really interested in seeing pics of the underside if you could take it to a local shop, have them pick it up on their lift, then
you can take a bunch of bright, well lit pics and even a short video file. This will more greatly show the overall condition of the car for those who are at a great distance. Hope this helps,
