I've been asked about trades. May consider, let me know what u have to offer. Would prefer a Gto, Chevelle SS, 30's street rod. Or maybe another vette.

That is a great looking 72 454...:thumbs:

very nice 454 convertible

thanks for the comments and all pm's answered.

Been asked if i'd be willing to do a trade. Let me know what u have. Would consider. GTO's, Trans Am's. Chevelle SS. mid 30'd Ford tudor street rod.

I'm always amazed as how close the War Bonnet Yellow is to Riverside Gold. I'm not sure I could tell them apart. Have not seen them side by side however.

Good luck with your sale. Ralph

I agree some colors with diff years diff #, but is it the same color or just a #, The oranges, yellows, and others. Would be nice to know. Nice Vette, good color, clean, good luck with your sale.

Been out of state for awhile. Able to show car again. Sorry to all whom have inquired this past month.

Bump since its been awhile.
Plus i wanted to share this mornings tire kicker. He asked if i had proof that the components (alt, starter, carb) Basially everything dated besides the block actually came with the car and werent replacements. After a drive and listening to his knowledge of Vettes? I didnt realize black was most popular color for early 70"s. And Chevy stopped production of the 355 cubic in. due to people returning them from producing too much power vs the LT-1 motors. WOW. Guess he never heard of the LS-6 or L88
I finally told him my way back machine was down and politely said goodbye.
