Do I buy?

[wildbill486]

I'm torn, I found this 81 with less than 12,000 on it for less than $7000. It's a smogger but is in great shape...you know what I'm gonna do...lol.

check the frame,make sure it hasn't rusted,underneath,in front of the rear wheels,look behind the kick plates for evidence of rust,as this could be the windshield frame in need of repair,does everything work,or does it need work,is it orisigal mileage or has it been turned over,once or twice...just things to look at and consider...


good luck!!!

The color combo of 50/74 Beige/Dark Bronze is a Bowling Green color. We haven't be able to find documentation of production numbers, I've been told probably somewhere between 600 ~ 800 with this color scheme, but as I said we have not been able to document it.

The Corvette Action Center provides good source information in the Tech Center. Also here is a sort of color coded 50/74 from the L81VetteRegistry

looks like 12000 miles, sounds like 112000 miles for $7k.

If it's as good as it looks ,no a bad buy at all.

That is almost too good of a price. If everything checks out, snatch it up! Looks darn good. $7,000 is a good 'vette paint job, but you can get an entire car!

That price is so low it's makes you wonder if it's really an '80 with a 305.

Even if it's 112,000 or 212,000, if it looks good enough to make you believe it's 12,000 it must be nice.
