With photos...71' LT1 all original, paperwork from day purchased. Needs new blue paint (current paint thin, cracking, stress cracks, etc. bonding lines perfect, no damage to body. Needs new black interior - carpet, seat covers, odds and ends - Dash and dash pads + center console good. Brake console cracked. Original glass. Not running, but everything is there, promises to be good engine. Needs new gas tank - tank sticker status unknown. Rear end ratio unknown.

This looks like a nice find. My guess is going to be in the mid 20's. Could be a potential, BowTie or SURVIVOR candidate. New more info and pix to be certain.

Hi mar,
I agree with jx, this car might warrant taking it to Bloomington and an NCRS event for people to enjoy BEFORE you do ANYTHING to it.
Truely 'un-touched' cars are VERY rare!!!!
NICE FIND!
Regards,
Alan

Contact Drew Papsun... I'm sure he'd like to add this car to his survey if it's not already there.

Has possibilities. Why not running? What's the story? What is the seller asking?
