it is an 81, A friend of mine had one just like that our senior year in high school. She sure did get a lot of attention in that car. I did not like the colors at the time but they have grown on me. Every time I see one for sale I send her an email telling her it is time to get one again.

When she went off to college she came home one day and there was a ne Nissan Pulsar (One that looked like a doorstop) with a big red bow on it. Her parents were like we got you something to go to school in, all she said was where is my Vette! She was so pissed!

It's a '81. The front nose emblem has a black border. The '80 has a chrome border and the '82 has a different emblem altogether.

Yup, 81. That's the same color I found under the 4 coats of fugly red my car was when I got it. That bronze color was a BITCH to get off of the bumper.

Saw this one in Nacogdoches, TX ..... the guy that is selling his doesn't have an address in his profile .......

I will say though, I doubt if it is for sale. The receptionist knew the owner and said he drives it quite often, on pretty days.
Wow, if that is original paint, that is awesome, but I don't know if the hood striping is OEM, anyone here know?

It is a pretty car, and I will see it a few more times I'm sure this year.

The stripping on the hood of the Vette at the top of this thread is OEM. The for sale vette is not, also th ebottom color of the at vette is not a factory color.
