Default 81-82 vettes

Re: Bangkok Dean

I agree, the 80, 81 and 82 vettes are the best looking!
Ask me how I know....

I love my 81, I think the late C3's have the sexiest lines of all C3's;

Welcome to the forum. I also own an '81, of the rubber bumper vettes, they are the best looking. I do like the chromies though.





We will be anxiously waiting for pics.

Just bought mine this past October. It's a great car that has the perfect lines in my opinion. Hope to add a chrome bumper in the near future to keep in company. Picture doesn't show the color very well but it is beige which I didn't know how well I was going to like. Turns out I love the color and get more comments than you could imagine.
