Default 80-82 Corvette for younger bro.

There's an early 80-82 'vette nearby for sale for $2900. It's beige. That's about all I know about it. It's nowhere near the condition of my 78, but I'm pretty sure it got driven to that spot. We're thinking about picking it up for him.

Hopefully it's an 80 federal! But I suppose I could deal with an 81's computerized q-jet, or learn how to deal with CFI.

Think it's more trouble than it's worth? Two Corvettes in the driveway - I'm sure to mess around with my little brother's car too.

You know what's sad?

I'm already thinking about what modifications I'd make to it...

*thinking of SR Torquers and a cam, and a 3701 Edelbrock intake.*

I'm thinking for $2900 you better fix some things before you make it go faster.

Sure sounds cheap, if you ever go take a look at it, post some pics of the condition of the car, would be interested to see what 2900 buys you!

Two Vettes is always better than one!

It might be the best thing you could do for a younger bro. Give him an interest other than dope and, he will learn to DO something with his time rather than video games. DO IT.
