Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
What is this guy talking about?  What makes this "rare"?  What is a "shroud louver"?

The L82 option had a sprung trap door that opened at speed.

Come on Adam!  Haven't you ever sold anything on e-bay?  I rarely post anything there that isn't "Very Rare" and/or "Hard To Find!"




I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

From the description, he's stating that it is rare because the louver is functional...

The repros require you to cut a hole and install your original trap door.  I don't think the door or spring loaded hinge is being reproduced.
