HISTORY OF THE 1981 CHEVROLET CORVETTE: In 1981, the most significant change to the Chevrolet Corvette was hidden from view. Corvettes with Turbo HydraMatic transmissions had a new fiberglass-reinforced monoleaf rear spring that weighed just eight pounds (33 pounds less than the multi-leaf steel spring it replaced), and the new spring eliminated interleaf friction. Also new for 1981 was the L81 version of the 350-cid V-8. It was rated for 190 hp, with lightweight magnesium rocker arm covers. The engine featured new stainless-steel free-flowing exhaust manifolds that weighed 14 pounds less than the previous cast iron manifolds. Also new under the hood was the thermostatically-controlled auxiliary electric fan that boosted cooling and allowed use of a smaller main fan. In the driver’s cabin, a new Computer Command Control system controlled fuel metering, as well as the torque converter lock-up clutch that operated in second and third gears. A quartz crystal clock was now standard, and the Corvette’s standard anti-theft alarm added a starter-interrupt device. In terms of manufacture, 1981 saw the grand opening of an all new plant in Bowling Green, KY. In fact, all two-tone 1981 cars were painted at the new plant. Just 8,995 Corvettes were manufactured in this plant the first year, making this example a rare and desirable find!

Financing

Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


Terms available up to 144 Months


If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
