just picked up 81
just picked up a 1981 corvette from my parents they have owned since 1992. My helpers worked with me to get it washed and ready.

Thats a good looking car, and at least you have a good idea of the previous 10 year history of it. That has to be a bonus also.

When I got my Corvette, my friends asked me "Where do you put the kids?" I told them "I put them in the rear view mirror as their Mom and I drive off!"

When I picked up an '81 4-spd car last year, my youngest daughter (then 8) couldn't wait to help clean it up. I have a great video of her with the random orbital buffing the paint in her dress.
