One of the more pressing moments in the life of a car enthusiast is knowing you have to move and your garage and/or property has both project cars and parts strewn about. Even the most organized gearhead will get a bit lost sifting through parts that seem useful but perhaps hard to justify moving to a new location. It’s even worse with an entire car, because now you have to sell a vehicle in addition to getting if off the property. The seller of this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette listed here on craigslist is asking $4,500 with reasonable offers considered, and it may have some desirable Ecklers components attached.

When we imagine what an Ecklers car looks like, it’s usually quite a bit wilder than this. The Ecklers company made Corvettes into absolutely wild street machines, from the Daytona bodykit to the “breadvan”-style wagon conversion. The car shown here looks far more pedestrian, and the seller confirms he believes it’s wearing a few pieces from the Ecklers catalog, specifically the front air dam and rear spoiler. I don’t believe those pieces add much value in this instance, but perhaps there are other modifications lurking that make this project Corvette more interesting than your typical C3.

The C3 has long been a cheap muscle car when found in project-grade form like this. It’s a hard sell to move at any price, but I suspect the ask is a bit too steep. Yes, the  seller is open to offers, but listing it for $2,000 may get a buyer intrigued enough to show up with a trailer. The 350 V8 that’s under the hood came in two flavors: the standard L48 and the optional L82. The latter was a decent mill, kicking out 230 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque, while the former was slightly more humble with 190 horsepower and a still beefy 280 lb.-ft. of torque. However, with the automatic, it still turned in a 0-60 time of around 8 seconds. Not speedy, but not awful for that era.

Here we can get a clear shot of that front air dam, and it appears to be in good shape with no major cracks or other damage. It looks like the entire Corvette was stripped down and primered on some panels (nose panel, hood) and the rest of the car may still wear white paint. It’s honestly hard to tell given it’s been outside for some time, and on top of that, it’s listed as being on the Jersey Shore – and we all know what ocean air can do to a car, especially one under cover. Now, this doesn’t mean the Corvette is parked next to the Atlantic, but it’s still worth crawling underneath to see what you’re working with. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Mitchell G. for the tip.
