Here's a few pics that my daughter took of the vette the day we brought it home.

I've always liked the 2-toned paint and the Silver/Blue combo is gorgeous!

Jane Ann, you are so absolutely correct!

Now help me out. The General did two-tones on the C3s and C4s. No two-tones on C5s or c6s. What gives? What do you think?

That is a great looking '81 you have there, Troy.

IMO, the 2-tone paint works for the C3's, I'm not so crazy about it on the C4's though. Wasnt it was only the early C4's that were avaliable in 2-tone paint anyway?

As for 2-tone paint on C5's or c6's? I do not think the lines of the car would work very well with 2-tone paint.

Troy,

Mighty nice looking L81 of course I've been accused of being a bit biased

I see your ride has the GoodYear Eagle GT Radials on it :eek just thought you might like to know ... Those are worth their weight in "GOLD". You don't see many around anymore with the Original GoodYears on them

If you aren't real well versed on NCRS (National Corvette Restorer Soicety) may I suggest you find a member close to were you live, and have them take a look at your car, IT May be one that is worth going for the Documentation :dance.

I considered have Rare NCRS but living in California at the time, it was a whole lot of trouble getting anyone in NCRS interested in looking at her.

Beautiful 1981 you have there Troy, may you have many memoriable years in the saddle :dance Enjoy the

I'd have to agree with Jason.

Looks great on the C3's but I can't envision the breakpoint on a C5 or C6. Not one that would show off the lines of the car anyway.

I absolutely love your avatar. Did you do it yourself? That's a fantastic angle.

Thanks for the welcome. Wow , you guys really know how to greet new members. It's great!
The day we picked up the car I told my daughter to take as many pics as she wanted. She has a knack for getting great pics, a knack that I completely lack. LOL
