Re: 1980 score (99svrcpe)
Youwill dig it, I know I love my '80. Are those rims off of a '79 pace car edition? I was under the impression those are the only ones that came with the red accent stripe.
Enjoy!

Re: 1980 score (99svrcpe)
People always term these things as lacking in performance.
I haven't ever been in the car I want mine to be (Fast w/ all mono springs & Koni shocks)....
But...is it -really- that poor compared to Everything else on the road? What about a C4? is it just the wheelbase, or?

Re: 1980 score (Hobbes Blk '80)
hmmmmm....maybe I used the wrong choice of words "lacking in performance"...but I was comparing it to my C5 however, my C3's performace is very good nonetheless plus I love looking at those two large humps over the hood :cool:

Re: 1980 score (The_Dude)
nice, I have been looking for an 80 too. I saw that one on ebay. Everything seemed fine it was just really far away from me.
The only thing that caught my attention was the photoshop touch on the photos.

Re: 1980 score (flood)
He was only about 1hr and a 1/2 away from me.....and the car looked even better in person than in the pictures. The only problem with the car not noted in the description was the typical headlight door not fuctioning. I plan on trouble shooting that this weekend. Other than that the cars description was very accurate.

I gotta know something.....
"Does the *crock* work?"
Had an '80 myself in a past lifetime. Great vette with a little more comfort than the earlier C-3's.
