Chevrolet Corvette 1980 Description

1980 CORVETTE RARE CALIFORNIA RPO LG4 CAR( IN 1980, FOR ONE YEAR ONLY, THE STANDARD CORVETTE 350 MOTOR DID NOT MEET THE CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS RESTRICTIONS FOR THE STATE. CALIFORNIA BUYERS WERE REQUIRED TO BUY A CORVETTE RPO LG 4 CAR WITH A 305 (10 H.P. LESS H.P. THAN A STANDARD 350 C.I MOTOR ) IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH A ALUMINUM INTAKE LIKE THE L82 MOTOR AND STAINLESS STEEL TUBULAR EXHAUST HEADERS WITH AN OXYGEN SENSOR IN A "CLOSED LOOP" SYSTEM. THE CALIFORNIA BUYERS GOT A $ 50.00 CREDIT FROM GENERAL MOTORS FOR THIS DIFFERENT SET UP.THERE WERE ONLY 3,321 OF THESE CARS BUILT AND SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA. THERE CAN NOT BE MANY OF THEM LEFT, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION AND LOW MILEAGE.THIS IS A TRUE SURVIVOR AND NEVER MOLESTED. IT IS A TRUE NUMBERS MATCHING CAR.IT COMES WITH THE TEE TOP STORAGE BAGS---NEW AMERICAN RACING WHEELS---IT STARTS, RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE A 54,000 MILE CAR SHOULD. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE AND UNDER A DUST COVER. YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY RUST ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR. THE CAR STILL HAS 40 LB OIL PRESSURE AT IDLE AS SHOWN IN THE GAUGES PICTURE.
AS STATED. THIS CORVETTE IS ONE OF ONLY 3,321 BUILT LIKE IT FOR THE CALIFORNIA MARKET ONLY AND ONLY FOR THIS ONE YEAR. ( I GUESS GM PUT THEIR LOBBYIST TO WORK TO GET THIS CHANGED AND THEY DID)BEING ALL OF THEM WENT TO CALIFORNIA AND THE WAY THE TRAFFIC AND DRIVERS ARE THERE, THEN THERE CAN NOT BE MANY OF THIS CALIFORNIA MODEL LEFT. IT WAS DIFFERENT AND HAS TO BE A RARE CORVETTE MODEL ONE WOULD THINK.
