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. 76 1981 OPTIONS RPOI DESCRIPTION OTY RETAIL S lVV87 Base Corvette Spon Coupe ........................ 40,606 $16,258.52 AU3 Power Door Locks ...................................... 36,322 145.00 .0.42 Power Driver Seal.. ..................................... 29,200 183.00 Removable Glass Roof Panels ................... 29,095 414.00 CCl C49 Rear Window Defogger .............................. 36.893 119.00 DG7 Electnc Spon Mirrors .................................. 13.567 117.00 084 Two-Tone Paint ............................................ 5.352 399.00 FE7 Gymkhana Suspension ................................. 7,803 57.00 F51 Heavy Duty Shock Absorbers ....................... 1,128 37.00 G92 Performance Axle Ratio ................................ 2.400 20.00 K35 CrUise Control ............................................. 32.522 155.00 MM4 4-Speed Manual Transmission ..................... 5.757 0.00 Aluminum Wheels (4) ................................. 36,485 428.00 N90 QGR White Letter SBR Tires.

Michigan 480~O • 13131574-884 EDITORS September 11, 1980 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. # Specifications Form Passenger Car 1981 METRIC (U.S. Customary) Car Line Manufacturer CORVETTE CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION Mailing Address Model Year CHEVROLET ENGINEERING CENTER 30003 VAN DYKE WARREN.
