POS VETT Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) The Z06 was a blast, and I'll miss the LS7, but I was barely ever driving it, spent most of my driving time in the Silverado, or the CTS-V. This I think I'll drive more often. It certainly doesn't make big numbers, but it's a lot of fun. http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/81%20chevette%20lft%20frnt%20use_1.jpghttp://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/81%20chevette%20rght%20rear_1.jpg http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/81%20chevette%20int%20dash_1.jpg http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/81%20chevette%20int%20rear%20seats_1.jpg http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/81%20chevette%20eng%201_1.jpg This thing is really, really mint. It's an '81 with only 17k miles on the odo (verified and certified). I know it's petrol with an automatic while I was talking about a diesel with a manual transmission. It was really difficult to find such a 'Vette with this kind of magnitude. It was loaded with options (factory tinted glass, heavy-duty battery, automatic, and camel cloth buckets) and even the paint was an optional metallic color with clear coat. The car came with the plant build sheet, original window stickers, dealer promotional papers/brochures, and a couple of brochures signed by the design team including the chief designer. It is an R8C museum delivery car. I'm very happy with this purchase even though I had to add money on top of the Z06. This is better than when I bought the Boss 302. :fuckyeah: Edited January 29, 2013 by POS VETT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Was at the drag strip in Epping NH a long time ago and someone showed up with one of those. With a 350 under the hood. He had to make custom headers that went upwards, needing slots cut into the hood, then down through the fenders. It was pretty badass.

POS VETT Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 nice pickup Thanks Kyle. It has been my lifelong dream to own a 'Vette like this. LOL, surprised this didn't happen sooner. Congrats! Thanks Sweet, chevette>brz/frs Damn straight ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Automatics are for those who cannot shift... Yeah ? Bring it on ! Nice addition, now get to work on cleaning that engine bay. Actually, that dark-colored stain is a special feature. See, during assembly, GM wanted the meticulously prepared engine bay to be preserved; no nick, no scratch, no marring. So this special coating was applied beforehand and the first owner ordered this to be preserved. Needs lowered and the windows tinted ASAP. Yes, Sir ! Right Away, Sir ! Wanna drag Paul's Accord around 270? Nah, a car this caliber is only worth raced against things like FRS/BRZ. Forgive my ignorance, but are you going to drive this? Probably not a whole lot. The Silverado is still mostly the daily driver. This 'Vette will be for formal occasions, sunday drives, and occasional ass whupping.
