Hello everyone. Im new to this forum. Im looking to get a '80, or '81 (preferably '81). I want a 4 speed with a black interior. The exterior Im not as picky about, as long as it meets the other requirements. Hopefully in the $15 - 20k range. Thanks for any and all replies.

It is my car. 1981 4 speed, black interior, pwr windows, locks and mirrors work as they should. 78k miles.

The bad:
Interior is original, it's not torn up, but it is very worn.
Needs paint. The pic is of the good side, I can send more if desired.
Alternator and brake dash light is on, alt is working.
Fan switch is not working.

The Good:
New Tires, exhaust, aftermarket brakes, e brake works as it should, new pwr steering cyl, stereo and amp less that 2 years old, tinted t tops.
I had American Corvette fix a lot of little things, I'll need to pull the receipts to list them.
Car runs and shifts great, A/C works. I've driven it to my place in Alabama numerous times, 500 mile round trip.

$9000 takes it home. Hope you find the one you like.

Im not sure if i should post this here. I would like comments, observations about this car. I saw it this morning. It checks pretty much every box for me. Here's pictures and the sellers description.

1981 Corvette, the last year of the carburetor, 4 speed manual which makes it a blast to drive especially with the T tops off. Been to many car meets and killed many a summer night just talking with other vette owners or other classic car lovers. Not to mis-lead anyone this is not a show car, but an awfully fun car. I have had this car for about 10 years and during that time it has been garage kept, with me putting about 900 miles on it. Never seen snow while I was owner, Title in hand, Upgraded sound system. Although fun to drive any time of the year, the warmer weather is prime, which is right around the corner.
