What year is this beauty?
I spied this beautiful corvette and pulled right into the parking lot to get a closer look...It was PERFECT. It had a license plate frame that read: "Real Women Drive Vettes"
I love this car!

It looks to me like it is a 1982 judging bt the side vents, and spoilers. The 81-82 are really nice looking Vettes! Almost the perfection of the C3 generation.

Welcome To The CAC
An '82 would have Cross Fire Injection emblems above those side vents. '80-'81 didn't. '80 had chrome cross flags on the nose and tail and '81s were black. That's about it for outside differences on the '80-'82s. She's a beauty though. My wife has HER AT1 on the license plate so maybe there is something to that statement.

I am not kidding it was flawless. I have never seen that style in that color looking that perfect ever, and I live in California. Lots of 'vette owners here with this perfect weather.

So a member here owns that car? Excellent! (or were you kidding)
I'm so impressed with that body style. Congratulations to those of you who own them.

Re:
Mine was white w/red interior- I loved the car but couldn't afford to keep it while I was going to school. My dad still has his '76, so it's nice to know there's still a C3 in the family.

Sorry to hear about your luck right now, but you will have another one. Remember it's in your blood.

Lannelle is a member here as well as at the L81VetteRegistry Old Photo, before new Paint job
We haven't updated the members rides at the Registry, as we are looking for a better format to display our cars. Hopefully when I retire next year I can learn enough about websites to take over the site and maintain it myself

Re: Re:
Believe me, you'll forget all about that '81 once that '59's done & your cruisin'. If I could have a '59 over an '81, trust me, I'd take the '59 in a "New York Minute" Good luck on your project & I hope the best for you.
Peace! Dave
