She's finally here

My new 71 finally made it up from Houston today. She looks to be as good as advertised other than a couple of small things that I expected such as shoulder belt retractors. The lights and wiper doors work great but the wipers themselves don't work. Have to figure that one out.

Congratulations, the car looks great. I would ask for more pics,
but I already have a pile of them that I downloaded from Corvettes
of Houston's website.

You might want to check the override switch for the wipers it is on the bottom of the driver side dash right between the manual override for the wiper door and headlight doors. Btw ABSLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CAR

Glad you finally got her home!!

I remember seeing that exact Vette at the Corvette Expo in Houston last February. It is a really nice looking Vette! I love the early Sharks!
