I purchased this car with the mileage stated at just under 7K mi. After going through most everything fixing and cleaning I am sure it is accurate. Engine picture has a new cap on the expansion tank and new ignition wires.

'71 LS5
Car built Aug. 1970.
Engine and M21 trans. completely rebuilt 1200 miles ago.
All AC components new; to be charged and the belt installed soon!
I have the original worn out 5 port washer pump...opted for a new 3 port for the time being.
Other odds and ends will be returned to stock over time...coolant tank cap, etc etc

Bally they are reproducing the 5 port washers. I just got my 70 LS5 back from getting the AC charged. I need to reseal the center duct behind passenger side of dash, due to top vent not putting out a lot of air.
