Re: 80 factory paint scheme question... (Garys81)
Hey, Gary,
There was a beige over bronze factory two-tone paint scheme in 1981, but all 1980's were single-color. At least that's what the Black Book says. So it couldn't be a factory paint job.
9700 is alot for an '80 with "custom" :rolleyes: paint, shot interior and a whiny rear. I would bet the brakes have one foot in the grave, the suspension bushings are powdered rubber and the cat is clogged. If it was a 4-speed car and the Nomad guy likes working on cars, it might be worth $6k-$8k, depending on the mechanical condition - you know the stuff I mean. Ragged-out '80 Vettes with auto transmissions are too easy to find with decent factory paint, to spend nearly $10K on one with goofy paint... Hey, just MHO. I think your advice to your friend is right on.
