Is this a 1981 Corvette?
I'm new here, but I have been doing some research on the site. I'm looking at buy a c3 corvette and was wondering if the corvette listed below is a 1981. The body style looks correct. I question it because it has a manual trans.

Hi Mike,
Welcome! New Member!!
AND, maybe a Corvette in your future! NICE!!!
An interesting fact about the 81 cars that 4-81's post alludes to is that 81s were built at both the old Corvette plant in St.Louis and also at the new Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky!
So there you go… you now know some Corvette trivia!
Good Luck as you learn about Corvettes and look for the right one for you!
Regards,
Alan
I'd wonder a bit about a car that was bought at an auction and is now being moved on to another owner…. not necessarily a 'bad' thing but would make me curious about the car.
