Maybe it's just me, but something looks wrong with the lines of this '81 Vette on Ebay... something about the fron fenders/lower valance panel looks weird.. or is it just a weird anlge???

Strange 1981 Vette shot

 

Looks like an aftermarket front end piece. The rear wing is obviously not stock either.

The front valence, right in front of the wheels, sticks out too far. The area where the side marker lights are located. Probabaly an aftermarket front end,..or a very poor previous repair job.

 

It looks lowered which moves the tires further up in the wheel opening.

 

If the front end droops anymore they will run over it!

 

Looks like the whole car has been lowered quite a bit. Too much for me.

 

From the ad. Terms in bold might help explain.

Yep, waaay off especially in front of the front wheel. Note the earlier-style rise to the hood too. Whole front end has been monkeyed with. Naturally no mention of it at all on the listing.

 

Thanks... I thought I was going crazy!

 

It even has a T-20 transmission!

 

Think it would look better without the body mods and raised back up.
