Default Woohoo!
Just bought my dad's 1971 convertible, from my brother. Dad originally bought the car in 1971 when he came home from Vietnam and it's been in the family the whole time!

Hi BV,
71, NICE!!!!!
I really like the blackwalls and the '69 side exhaust!
I'd enjoy some more pictures, and a few more details about the car.
Regards,
Alan

Is your brother happy? I bet when he realizes that he sold your dad car he's not going to be then.
