Thanks! I get quite a few complements on the color combo. The car came with the original window sticker and everything associated with it from day one.

Thanks.

But they are ST and they are too old so not secure. I will change them ASAP.

Alex, If anyone looked at your pictures, the dealer plate shows DC Classic Cars. They changed the name to Shelton Classics about 2 years ago. Owner is Mike Shelton who operates it with his wife and a salesman. Very nice people and honest. I have been there a couple times. Located in Mooresville, NC. Worthwhile stopping if you are in the area. Since this is a LT1 post, they do have a '72 documented a/c roadster consigned to them; nice car.

Yes, I saw the name changed. Mike Shelton appeared serious and honest when I contacted him. He told me my car was one the best Corvette he had at this moment.

Hi folks,

I've a question concerning my carb. Though I have the 6th edition NCRS judging book I can not understand the information. My car is fully matching. So it's normal to have the following Holley ref for my 1971 LT-1.
