Just now in the process of getting the same exact car, maroon exterior/silver interior, and I'm stoked!😍 Can't wait!🥳

[@jeffspicolli593]

Beautiful car. Great color combo.

[@thomasfarley6052]

Oh man what a beauty

[@HectorGarcia-eo1lq]

Wow looks really awesome. I bought an 81 today and I hope I can see it one day like that.😅

[@JChaotic]

Congratulations I got mine 2 years ago. Love it and take care of it.

[@gooney0]

Lovely car. I'm sure someone will be very happy with it.

I had an 81 L81 4 speed in that color. One year color. Here is a tip. REMOVE the Clutch Fan. The car already has a large electric auxilary fan than can be hooked up with an aftermarket thermostatic switch. The Power Difference is alot. The automatic cars had a 2.87 rear axle ratio and the 4 spd had a 2.72 !! sounds strange , i know but thats how they were geared for 81. With that said. My vette ran 15.2 @ 92 with the only mod being the clutch fan removal. There is a water temp sensor on the front of the intake manifold that controls the timing and fuel. It costs less than $30 and will make the car run way faster if its bad. I changed mine and it helped as much as taking the fan off.

I loved the silver interior. Much better than gray

[@ernieendara1683]

Hello, you mentioned at the intro, "does it clunk in reverse?" in regards to the 81 vette. If you could, wouldn't kindly explain what that klunk represents? I ask as I too have a 1980 vette, very pretty, but it klunks upon manual reverse and I just cannot seem to find what the issue is. Thank you, Ernie

[@franka8377]

My 75 does the same thing, only in reverse.

[@timczifrik7715]

transmission

[@bobzorn6907]

Who should I call to buy this from you and how much are you asking? I'm impressed and give this one two thumbs up.

[@ledger35]

I’ll take it!

[@raulherrera968]

❤❤ beautiful 81 Vette!❤❤

[@mudgem3742]

Missed checking the birdcage as well.

[@AveragePotatoEnjoyerr]

Question! How tall is the driver? How does the form factor feel? I'm a tall guy myself (6'6 range); I've test driven a C4 before, but never a C3. Thanks!

[@mississippi-son]

Nice! What does it sound like? 😢

[@frederickconner2694]

This guy is funny. He has to get so handsy with everything he’s referring to.

[@veecee3960]

Intake is incorrect. Needs to be sealed for the snorkels to work. No hate. Nice car. Had one.

[@thomasfarley6052]

Sir you have some very nice cars take care

[@girget123]

How can i buy this car

[@johnaguirre9674]

You didn’t say how much the car cost

[@Chris-i3p]

Goodyear makes tires that are not rated for over 45 miles per hour……….. .?…………….

[@timothypettyjohn1988]

How much?

[@timczifrik7715]

98,0000 lol

[@TexasGolfer]

The pinstripes are crime. 😬 These C3s are not rare and they were cursed from the factory with weak engines b/c of the emissions. This would make a good LS swap to give it the power it deserves.

[@robertcampbell1349]

REALLY don't like you don't post the price..... Irritating.

[@muntadheralfatlah8594]

hi can i get your nomber

[@russelljdj]

Having owned an 81. One word awful!

[@Newk16]

You must be a mustang fan

[@russelljdj]

NO WAY! I've owed 3 C3's and 2 C4's in my time. The 81 was the last one I owned and it was AWFUL as all 81 were,@@Newk16

[@Jack_the_rider]

​@@russelljdjWhich year C3 is the best one to own?

[@russelljdj]

@@Jack_the_rider I'd say from 70 to 79 In my opinion because in 1980 Chevy didn't make the L82 with a 4 seed. But the L48 with the 4speed was decent.

[@ThePerfectSeason1972]

People who are really truthful, would say the 1980 - non California car, but they made less of those, so rarer. I owned a 1969, 1971, 1973 and 2 1980’s. Now remember this, I said that I owned, and I drove all these vehicles back during their hay days. The older models were real rattly , stiffer and rougher rides, the 80’s I felt rode and handled much better. But In short, it really comes down to personal opinion.
