Someone stop me!!
I don't need another vette but I found a 71 war bonnet yellow coupe 350 auto that I am going to look at. It's a one owner car that the owner started to restore and got about 70 percent done before he passed on. I don't need another one. I don't need another one. I love war bonnet yellow. I hope it is a huge pile of junk.

Automatics are horrible. Yellow cars are for girls. You don't want a coupe, you want a convertible. Small blocks are for wimps.
(I don't believe any of that, I'm just trying to help you stop).

While I do say if you have the means go for it, why own two sb coupes?
I do not believe I would ever be in the situation to have two vettes but if I did it would be very different to my 69 bb convertible, I would look at wide bodies or c2's or something other than almost just what I have...

You're going to get there, and its going to be a '89 Buick Reatta. Rusted quarters, top end missing, and gutted interior. IF you get there and actually find a Vette, it will have been stolen, no title and just a mess. You really ought to pass the info along to someone else!

You should have two. One with the tops on and one with them off. Avoid the trouble of changing them.
Today you feel like a blue car tomorrow a yellow one. Maybe you need a third one in green or black.
When you take one apart you will always have another to look at and see how that part goes back on.
Leave the one with the empty ga tank for the wife (rules are she has to fill it up with her money).
Damn, I just convinced myself to buy it!

Just go look at it and decide. You can either get it out of your system or buy it. Why deprive yourself

Hmm....
Hmmm.... going to this forum and asking your question is kinda of like going into a cigar store to get advice on how to stop smoking
BTW, my wife has me going to Corvettes Anonymous meetings, but all we do there is tell Corvette stories and swap Corvette parts, come to find out the shrink has 6 Corvettes, one of them a split window 63 coupe,
