1972 base motor. I rescued this beauty locally from Craigslist from a long-term owner that lost interest and turned to boating instead. Love those kind of sellers! 7 owners, every one documented with copies of the titles since new. Tank sticker, every receipt since new. Only thing missing is the pop.

Nice Elkhart coupe to go with your Elkhart 'vert, how will you choose which one to drive?

Hi Roy! Yeah, it's certainly a dilemma. But the LT-1 vert gets the nod. The coupe will go on the block. I'm having fun making the little repairs that it needed and learning along the way.

I love the look, can you pm me or post your Tire sizes and type/brand along with same details for the Wheels including backspace or offset.

I'm jealous, my 68 vert got the bad re-sale red repaint at some point, it was supposed to look like yours. Can you pm me or post your the details of your wheel/tire combos (incl. offset/backspace)?

I have decided to definitely stay with green because I like pulling into shows and being one of the few green cars around. But, I would like to see all of the other shades of green that you guys have before making my final decision.

So.... Got a green meanie? Let's see it!!
Original Elkhart Green, 43,600 miles. Clarification. I am a Veteran but not a Purple Heart Recipient. This photo was taken at a fund raiser for Veterans who received the Purple Heart,
