Cool looks nice got to get some rallies my self!
Ok so driving home from work one day i spotted the 71 in a driveway didnt look to interesting. Just another overpriced forgotton corvette that needed alot of attention.
So one sunday after getting Icecream i saw the car again and said i better make sure this is not somthing i would want. I gave the guy a call and went to see it to find out he was only asking $7000.
It had two sets of t-tops and two hoods and said he owned it for the last 30 years got it from sombody close by he was probably the 2nd owner. after awhile he was just starting it to keep it running over the years. so we struck a deal i git it two days ago.
