Default 1981 Corvette

Well it looks like I have to make room for my new toy (Inherited my dads 57 Belair). So the vette must go unfortunately Against my sons wishes I have decided to put my 81 back on the market. So here is what I have:

1981 Chevrolet Corvette 78K miles. A great driver. It has many new parts: New front ball joints, poly bushings, new shocks, new master cylinder, front brakes and calipers, new composite spring, rebuilt rear control arms with spindles and parking brake setup, rear end overhaul with new gears and seals and new tires!!!! Too many smaller items that have been replaced to list. Prior owner started work on the interior with carpet and seat covers. With a little work this could be a great car. It has the original matching numbers 350 engine and trany both have some small leaks (next on my list to fix). Headlights work up and down!! Well over $3000 in parts have been spent. My loss your gain!! Asking $8900 or make a resonable offer.

Thanks, Rick

Thats cheap, and low miles. I would start much higher price than that.... 12-15 k...
Worth a try.... at least...
