I picked up the '80 today - here's a pic of the interior to give an idea of the condition. There is very little wear inside
I'll take some pics outside this week.

Very nice. The new arrival is home.
I've owned two 80's. The first came new right out of the dealer's showroom. The second I purchased 28 years later. Resto is 3/4's finished.
Other than a 1960, the 80 is the only Vette I would want to own and drive. You'll love yours.

Thanks again for the welcome - I took a couple of new pics today - the sun was harsh for pics, but it was nice weather for a short cruise:
