missed out
Hey Mike 79,80 and Rick rjr the car has sold. It sold for $30k. Rick, your white/black L82 was a bargain and probably just as nice if not nicer.
I really am going to slap my wife now.
Take care
Walter

I have a friend here in Mass. that has an '81 2 tone blue, 4 speed car with just 15k miles on it. He stores it in the Winter, and someone else I know is also interested in looking at it next Spring. If he does not buy it and you haven't found anything, I'll let you know.
We are in Mass....
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks bacnblk and zr-1mark
Hello folks, Happy New Year to you.
BACNBLK, your car is very nice. I'm just looking for something with ridiculously low miles. Thank you for your response though.
Zr-1MARK, the car you describe sounds like what I'm looking for. Can you tell me more about it? Please keep me in mind if she doesn't sell.
Thanks
Walter

Hello everybody, just looking to add to my collection. Does anyone out there have or know of a mint, mint 80-82 for sale? I kick myself everday for not buying rjr's 80 white L82 with 4000 miles.
First on my list is an 80-81 4 speed. Must have low low low miles. Preferably under 20000 but the lower the better. Must be babied and need nothing. The more options the better too. Willing to pay the premium dollar for the right car.
Second on the list is an 80 L82 with the same requirements as above.
Third on the list is an 80-82 with the same requirements as above.
Ideal car is a mint 80-81 4 speed yellow on black leather. I love the red and the white cars too.
Is this going to be impossible to find??
Thank you everyone
Walter

Thanks Stung (Jim)
Hi Jim, thanks for the note. I remember calling the owner last year. He had said he had bought it for his son.........but then he got in the family way and the car was no good to him anymore....so the car just sat.
For such low miles I expected it to be in better shape. T-top cracked, scratches on console etc. I'm a bit wary of this one.
Thanks again,
Walter

Thanks for the note on this car too. I know I'm being picky when looking for an older well preserved vehicle....but honestly out of all the two-toned combos this is the one I dislike the most.
Thanks again......the hunt continues.

unless you plan on paying alot extra for the musium quality corvette you are after, u might have to raise your mileage requirements some. these cars are 30 years old now and i would think anything under 50,000 miles is low miles. my 71 454 has 72,000 miles on it and it spent most of the last 20 years in storage. good luck on your hunt. spring will be here before u know it.

There's more low mile cars out there them you think. It just takes time to find them. I looked for two years and found a 1980 with 3900 orginal mile car that was only 90 miles from me.

That's funny--I almost pulled the trigger on this very same color combo car out of California last month--and I really like the colors! But my Corvette was Buckskin (think an ugly tan color) with a chocolate brown interior and I still miss it.
Good luck in your search.
