This 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is ready for your summer time enjoyment!! 

This car has the Dark Claret Metallic paint.   It is a beautiful and hard to find burgundy color.  

I have owned this car since 2006 and have restored it to its original beauty.  

Runs and handles great!

It was the 8,819th Corvette made in the Bowling Green factory (there were only 8,995 made in Bowling Green for the 1981 model)

I have replaced the seats, door panels, carpet, steering wheel, seat belts and weather stripping.

Almost all power options work, which is extremely rare with 1981 Corvettes!  Working power options include:  Windows, Driver Seat, Locks, Cruise, Tilt, Mirrors, Rear defrost.  Needs new power antenna (approx $100 cost).

T-tops are chip free and have new weatherstripping (includes storage bag).

Headlights work great.  Dome lights and dash lights can be temperamental.

Defrost. Air and Heat all work.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division

Wed, Jan 7 2015

An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.
