Default Going to look at a 1981 tomorrow

I read the sticky!

It's a 1981 manual black on black. Excited but level headed. Looking for a driver and autox candidate. Last registration sticker 1997. The sticky has been abosolutely awesome. This will be my second corvette deal pending for 2500. My previous 1987 corvette was a POS but fun none the less with the DN 4+3. Wish me luck tomorrow in getting back into the ranks of fellow corvette owners.

Thank you Rasta!
Hopefully it's not a basket case.

Black on Black great combo.

I remember thinking of trading my 79 back in 1981 and ordering a BLK on BLK 4 spd. .....

The first thing that I always look at on 81 corvettes is if they are still being run by the computer controlled carb, and distributor. Usually the case is they are not. Since you watn the car for autox I am sure that this does not matter to you lol.
