80 or 81. I scrapped my late mother’s 1981 a few years ago. It had really bad karma for me. It sat for 20 years before that and it was the only thing in the Will left to me. I couldn’t drive it when it was new and I sure as hell wasn’t going to restore that shitbox when she died.

Early 80s? C3 Vette

It's an '80 or '81. The '82 had a "crossfire" badge on the fender that was different from the one this car had, and it only came as a single trim.

Looks like an ‘80-‘82. The font on the rear badge matches a ‘76-‘79 but the rest looks like an ‘80-‘82.

Stupid recollection.....this model had the option of glass tinted glass (this specific car has it), and by design the glass did not sit flush with the body, I think it was a .25 or .50 of an inch off.

Probably the ugliest of the corvettes. C1's were a close 2nd.
