Default Do you know this Vette?

OK, figure this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone who happens to be from the Kalamazoo/Portage, Michigan area (or anyone else) is familiar with this Corvette... Its an '81, red on red and what sets it apart the most is the condition of the body. It has been scratched real bad, and the scratches have been painted over. The Corvette emblem on the rear has also been painted red and the paint is chipping and bubbling I am simply curious if word about a Corvette in this condition has spread around.

VIN, no. Pictures, yes but not on this computer and the pics NEVER show just how the body/paint looks.
