The note in the Black Book says the 81 two-tone numbers were lumped under the primary color code. For two of the combinations, silver was the primary color so those would be included in the 3369 figure given for silver. The others would get gobbled up in autumn red and beige. IIRC the first...

GM appears not to have tracked two tone paint data at Bowling Green other than the primary color (upper). They did track the option code. 5352 1981 buyers chose the two paint. :thumb

That's up to you and how you define "Stingray." The 69-76 C3s had Stingray fender scripts. The 68s and 77-82 models do not have the scripts. If you want to consider your car to be a Stingray, have at it. :thumb

Only if you like it. :thumb

Not necessarily. You say you replaced everything other than the springs; have you checked the installation of the new parts? Were you getting the shake before you rebuilt the suspension? No. You should not have to cut a stock replacement spring. :thumb

Sorry, but this thread is eleven years old and concerns C3s. You want the C1-C2 Forum. :thumb

Stud pattern did not change, but you will need adapters/spacers for the later wheels. You might also have to trim fiberglass to eliminate potential rubbing depending on wheel width and tire selection. :thumb

So work in that direction. Good luck. :thumb

Most 1981 Corvettes were built at St. Louis. Exterior and interior colors had nothing to do with it. The new plant at Bowling Green did not begin production until June, 1981. When did you purchase your car; can you recall the month? Month of production would possibly give you a VIN range, but...

I mildly disagree with Peer. Any C3 in original condition has value as an unmolested car. There are potential buyers who want original cars and are willing to pay something above average because of the originality. Any modifications made to an original car lessens the car's value. That said...

Yes if the car was ordered with FE7. :thumb

For 77, I would say leather surfaces with vinyl skirts. Keep in mind, cloth was a buyer's choice for 77. :thumb

What model year? Typical factory leather was leather seating surfaces and vinyl skirts. 79-82 cushions and backs might be all leather, but don't quote me on that. :thumb

He told you why. :thumb

You've pulled up a thirteen year old thread for no real purpose. A trailering option was available for several model years. :thumb

How about a picture of what you've found?

From behind. The lamp holder should twist about a quarter of a turn and pull back. :thumb

My .02: If Chevrolet had any type of special trim for bicentennial 76 Corvettes, one or more of them would have shown up by now. :)

I agree. :thumb

This thread is ten years old. Please post pics of the car you mention. I have never seen any type of official bicentennial trim package for the 1976 Corvette. In his book The Original 1973-1977 Corvette Fact Manual, Peter Licastro mentions an accent package was available. This is the only...
