Default 1971 Question,

I have a question. I have a chance to buy (yeah like I need another one) a 71 coupe, older restoration, really needs nothing. I have yet to see if it is a matching #'s or not, however.

So is 14,000 too much? I have looked the car over, no rust in frame or birdcage. Comments please

If everything is right about it, I wouldn't think twice about dropping 14K on a '71, even an L48.

$14000 sounds like a good deal for a 1971. Of course depending on the general overall condition.
