This was in Feb 2009 when I bought it. It was near Philadelphia, PA and had been sitting for about ten years...

Re: 1981 Corvette

Nice Vette, I had a Red 81 back in the late 80's, seeing yours really makes me miss that car, it could be it's twin.

Re: 1981 Corvette

Nice Vette! I had an 84 when i was 18. I only had it for about a year before i had to sell it. An older guy in his 70's from Kansas City bought it. I wonder where it is now?? Good job with yours, have fun with it! Joseph
