Default 1980 score

year after selling/missing my 99 coupe...I scored this little gem.

Youwill dig it, I know I love my '80. Are those rims off of a '79 pace car edition? I was under the impression those are the only ones that came with the red accent stripe.

Enjoy!

Thanks.....after owning a C4 and C5. I must say the C3's have always been my favorite. What it lacks in performance, I think it makes up in style. :chevy

People always term these things as lacking in performance.

I haven't ever been in the car I want mine to be (Fast w/ all mono springs & Koni shocks)....

But...is it -really- that poor compared to Everything else on the road? What about a C4? is it just the wheelbase, or?

hmmmmm....maybe I used the wrong choice of words "lacking in performance"...but I was comparing it to my C5 however, my C3's performace is very good nonetheless plus I love looking at those two large humps over the hood :cool:

nice, I have been looking for an 80 too. I saw that one on ebay. Everything seemed fine it was just really far away from me.

The only thing that caught my attention was the photoshop touch on the photos.

He was only about 1hr and a 1/2 away from me.....and the car looked even better in person than in the pictures. The only problem with the car not noted in the description was the typical headlight door not fuctioning. I plan on trouble shooting that this weekend. Other than that the cars description was very accurate.

I gotta know something.....

"Does the *crock* work?"

Had an '80 myself in a past lifetime. Great vette with a little more comfort than the earlier C-3's.

If you mean "clock" then the answer is no....or at least it doesn't appear to work.
