Default '81 owners, stop in please

I am writing this with my heart broken. My beloved '81, that I drove almost every day (it was my baby), was stolen and totaled this past weekend. I am parting it out, so if you need anything, contact me. I will be posting a more detailed description of what is available/ of interest in the parts for sale forum.

God bless, Sensei

When life knocks you down, ya get back up and keep on swingin'! Go get another 'vette, and use everything you have learned about them to get a really nice one.

As has been noted, your wealth of knowledge re the 81s was VERY helpful to me when I bought mine a few years ago. Thanks again.

Wow, you have helped me a lot with my problems. I had 6 dirt bikes stolen right after Christmas. People just don't care. I hate to hear your lost. Question. Do you still have the seats and what color are they. I saw that you already sold the carb. What else do you have left from the car?

So sorry to hear that. I despise thieves. I hope the thief was apprehended and stands for his crime. Use the anger and sadness to move forward even faster and stronger than before.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I just purchased an '81 and would be in the market for some seats initially and surely more items later. Color not important.
