Default Anyone know this Car?

I have a 71 convertible 350/270 4sp yellow but should be brands hatch green. After pulling up the carpet i found an inspection receipt for the State of Virgina dated June 1988 the license plate read DONS 71 anyone know this car or previous ower. I've had the car here in FL since 1997 and would like to find out some basic history.

Thanks,
Will

If my memory serves me well, it was either a VBP(vette brakes) or Van Steel catalog from last year that had a picture of a vette with that license plate on it.I will check when I get home this evening and post back with my findings.Maybe even Paragon!!

Believe you're close... That beautiful burgandy vert in the catalog has a license plate that reads "Dons70"....non 71.

You let me know if I'm mistaken.
