Was it on Facebook? I see a lot of car ads say Chevy avalanche on there for some reason even when they aren't even Chevy's.

When I was looking to buy a used Avalanche a few months back - saw the same thing. Did a reverse look-up on the numbers and they were usually tied to "hooking-up" or rather "hookering-up!!!"

An 81 isn't a Stingray. And the Avalanche C3s stopped in 72, though any sugar-scoop C3 can be converted to have the removable rear window for easy access to the luggage rack.
