The 78 blue must be pretty close to the 81 which was one year only as well but they are different paint codes. I wouldn't want T-tops on one of these cars if it was a year round driver but as a collector car it's almost a must have to me. Mom's T-tops didn't leak in her Z28 back in the day but she NEVER took them out. Dad took them out one time after he washed a couple years after she bought it just to see what it would look like and she was so mad when she saw it that she stormed off crying. They never came out again until I bought it off her in 1998. Been in the family almost 40 years now.

I would love to find that very car in either 1980 or 1981 years. My wife had a 1980 brand new when she was in college and would like to find one for her. She loved that car.

VERY NICE!
Can you share more of the history of the car?
So, your Mom bought it new?
Current mileage?
Looks awesome!
Sounds like it will be in the family forever, but please let me know if you decide to part with it.
