Very Excited
Bought a 1981 Corvette today. Silver with 51,000 original miles. Pictures to come shortly. Body in great shape and started right up after sitting for five years. Can't wait to get started. Will need interior tweeked a little.
Here are the pix. I have been looking for about 3 months seriously. I found on Craigslist on Monday night for $5995.00 and raced to her house on Tuesday morning ahead on six other people interested. I won the race.

HA! You`ve been bitten by the C3 bug! Rest assured you`re not alone, but beware.... it gets worse from here! Laying awake at night thinking of her. Spending money on her you should be spending on something else. Spending more time in the garage just to look at her and run your hands over her curves......
good luck... I gotta go!

I owned two 81's not at the same time lol,
The first I put 100K on then rebuilt it with a wide body kit and insane engine, it ended up shipped overseas,
The second I started a mako kit on and sold it when I had health issues,
I love the 80-82's great drivers ....congrats!
