Default Some Pics

Took the car out today and here are some pics. It's a 1971 Coupe with a 496 Stroker (originally LS5 454).

That car is getting traffic tickets sitting still. Hey, is that your personal garage? Or is that actually a picture of heaven?

Hey, thanks. It's a lot of fun to drive and I do get on it once in a while; it handles nicely and has a nice punch. That is a climate controlled storage garage about 15 minutes from where I live. Some really nice Corvettes, muscle cars and exotics parked there. Unfortunately, I have an unuseable one-car garage.

That's the hood that came with the car when I bought it. It's an L88 hood; not a scoop.

Thanks. I do take it out on weekends for usually an hour or two--mostly highway driving. Will try for some outdoor shots.

Thanks. When I take a drive with my 15 y.o. old son, he likes the attention we get. Mostly good, and a lot of windows rolling up around us at a stop light.
