Default Anyone want a new 1981 C3?

On FB Marketplace

Anyone interested in a 1981 C3 with only 50 (yes, 50) miles? It was driven home from the dealership and parked and kept in a garage its whole life. It is all original. Runs like new. It is a two owner car as the original owner passed away and now it is in his wife's name. Excellent car! $30,000. Call [hidden information] if interested. Not looking to trade. Located in Monteagle, TN.Click image for larger version

Damn, I’ve been looking for an original driver C3 for a while.

It would be a shame to actually drive that.

Well, I stopped at a Bar B Que place in MountEagle a few years back.
Wouldn't mind going there again, but I don't drive to Fl. anymore.
(don't remember the name, but the place was huge - general store plus motel).
Hmmmmmmm. Check back in the fall?

At an auction back in 2009 ??? I bid on a brand new 1981 C3; never titled... had about 9 miles on the ODO. Surprisingly looked like the one pictured in the original post, same color and had the mirrored T-Tops. Got toooo expensive for me, winning bid was around 25k.

I love that paint color - if I had not just restored my ‘82 we might have been talkin’

Yes.

I wonder if this is the car sold at the McDorman auction? My highest bid was $19k; wasn't enough

They also had a 1982 Collectors Edition, new - never titled. It sold in the mid $30k range. This is the one car they had that I was super interested in; main reason I went to that auction.

Some chick I knew had a 78 pace car. She cried when she sold it.

Them late C3s were dogs but they sure look good. Even in yellow.

Horrible investment. MSRP was around $17k plus options. It hasn’t even doubled in value in nearly 40 years.

What are you looking for, specifically? There's a "Darth Vader" shark just down the road from me... I can get the details if you are interested.

Yes, it would be. But, I'd drive the wheels off it.

That is nearly identical to my 70 Mach I. I so regret letting it go. Joined the Navy cause it was time to grow up and sold everything I had before I went.

I think they came in blue, red, and maybe white(?). Yellow looks the best by far.

Did you cry when you sold it?

The 80-82's had some great lines. Some of the prettiest Vettes. Just discouraging when a jogger would pass you on the road.
