1981 corvette
Good evening, I just bought a 1981 corvette that needs a ton of love just to be TLC worthy. But I like the C3's and couldn't pass up the price.
It's got a non original two tone paint job white over garnet (?). A non original 350 (unknown year) engine and turbo 350 (?) transmission. The interior was changed by previous owner to a quasi Black, new carpet, driver seat cover, dyed dash, door cards etc..
It is a Bowling Green car but I can't seem to find any decoding info for the trim tag.
Trim tag found on a pillar drivers side door reads
B o8 B L 04774
74I 80L 80U 98N E
I found some stuff but not all, can anyone help me out ?
I did own a 1986 Corvette coupe previously. Thank you.
