Default *%&$* Power window

I went to change the regulator gear on the passenger side and to my dismay I found that the motor was shot, not the gear. So now I have to get a whole new motor. I plan to look at some wrecker yards before I shell out the 110 for a remanufactored one. Are there any other GM cars that shared the same power window motor as my '81 vette?

Before going to the wrecker yard, try Autozone. I replaced both my motors fwith new ones I purchased there for $60.00 each. And they work great!!
