1981 FACTS
• The 1981 Corvette was the first model year to be built simultaneously in
two locations. The first Corvette was completed althe new Bowling Green.
Kentucky. assembly line on June 1. 1981. The last Corvette to be built at
51. Louis was completed on August 1. 198 I .
• Although there were no engine options for 1981. the base 350ci. 190hp
L81 engine was certified for sale in California. and was available in all
states including California with both 4-speed manual and automatic
transmissions.
• Exterior styling carried over from 1980. but emblems did change slightly.
• The tubular stainless steel exhaust manifolds. used for 1980 Corvettes
sold in California with the LG4 305ci engine. were standard with the 1981
base engine.
• Chevrolet's "computer command control" used on 1980 Corvettes sold
in California became standard equipment on all 1981 Corvettes. The
system automatically adjusted i9nition timing and air-fuel mixture.
• Chevrolet introduced a fiberglass-reinforced monoleaf rear spring for
1981 Corvettes equipped with automatic transmissions and standard
suspensions. The plastic spring weighed eight pounds compared to fortyfour pounds for the steel unit it replaced_
• The anti·theft alarm system was improved in 1981 by the addition of an
ignition interrupt to prevent engine start.
• All 1981 valve covers were magnesium for weight reduction.
• For improved fuel economy, 1981 Corvettes with automatic transmissions had torque converter clutches for second and third gears.
• A detail change to the 1981 Corvette interior was the color-keying of the
headlamp and windshield wiper switch bezels to the interior color. In 1980.
they were black regardless of interior color.
• The 198 I Corvette was the last model to have a manual transmission
available until well into the 1984 production year.
• The 51. Louis Corvette assembly plant continued to use lacquer paints
through the end of 1981 production in that faCility. Meanwhile in Bowling
Green. a new paint process was developed which used enamel basecoats
followed by clear topcoats.
• A power driver seat became available in Corvettes for the first time in
1981 as RPO A42. It was not available for the passenger side.

FORRElEASE _______________________________
#8744
Chevrolet's Corvette upholds its reputation for materials innovation
in 1981 with introduction of the industry's first fiberglass reinforced plastic
monoleaf rear spring.
Other weight reduction features are also designed to improve
Corvette fuel economy.
The new spring is 33 pounds lighter than the steel multi-leaf spring
it replaces.
Appearing first on sane Corvettes with automatic transmissions, it
will be extended to the remainder of Corvette production as supplies are available.
Other 1981 Corvette weight reduction features include thinner side
glass and lighter stainless steel exhaust manifolds.
Corvette for '81 offers a single engine for all 50 states -- a 5.7-liter
va (code LBl) with four-barrel quadrajet carburetion.
The choice of manual or
automatic transmission for all states provides California buyers with a manual
unit selection for the first time in several years.
The LBl engine sports new magnesium rocker covers, stainless steel
exhaust manifolds and a distinctive air breather.
An
auxiliary electric fan allows
use of a Smaller, quieter engine fan.
Rear axle ratios are 2.72 with manual transmissions and 2.87 with
automatics.
-more-
#8744
-2-
Other fuel economy features involve the Computer Command Control (CCC)
system, which provides more precise fuel metering plus electronic control of a
torque converter clutch in both second and third speeds of the automatic transmission.
Inside the '81 Corvette, a six-way power seat is available for the first
time.
An electronically-tuned receiver ~TR) radio is also available with AM-FM
stereo tape or cassette and citizen's band features.
Extended tone-range dual
rear speakers are included with all stereo radios.
A QUartz clock is standard and dual power sport mirrors are an interim
production option.
The standard anti-theft alarm system has been improved through the
addition of a starter interrupt feature that prevents starting the engine after
any forced entry -- even when the ignition switch has been bypassed.
