C3 Corvette Search Episode 2

The search goes on for my next project car.  I’m searching for a third generation Corvette built between 1967 to 1982.  There were a few body changes and some suspension changes between those dates. But mostly stayed the same. In 1981 a engine computer was added.

I came across this 1981 Corvette locally.  Still owned by the original owner although he’s no longer able to drive.

I normally try to record as much of the inspection as I can.  That’s difficult to do because you don’t want to capture the owners or any family member nor the sales person.  So this video is a bit choppy in spots and I had to edited out a 4 year old that really wanted to help.

Normally, I’d like to capture the car running, for no other reason than to refresh my memory after looking at several cars in one day or long delays during between offers. In this case I was pouring gas into the carb and couldn’t.

I’ve made two offers on the car the first was turned down and I yet to get a response on the second.

Check out the video.

 

I love this car…the stories helped, but  I have 1977 Stingray to look at on Saturday.

 

Checking back for updates.
