Beautiful! Identical to mine except mine has a luggage rack. Roadster + LT-1 package = best of all worlds! And Elkhart Green is so 1970’s cool!

I like the white lines as well... I used to despise them, however they have grown on me.
Whatever my car had originally, that is what I was going with, so I dropped my tank to see... F7015 white letter was on the sheet.


I have a Warbonnet Yellow 1971 LT1 roadster in right now for some corrective body and paint work.
Fixing the front valence, wheel lips, and cracks around the headlamps as well as an ill fitting hood. ...

FWIW if you repair a corvette fiberglass using bondo and glazing putty you should be SHOT. - Thank GOD I have an original car for comparison.

Dennis, Is that George's car? I know he has spent a lot of time, $ and effort in making it correct. Besides function, he was interested in correct hardware, color markings and other small details. All the big things are original and correct and it has terrific original documentation.

I had those 200S wheels on my '71 Ontario Orange LT-1 2 top Roadster ser.# 194671S101719 , they just made that car a bit more awesome along with 1969 factory side exhaust. Unfortunately it was sold long ago and the only picture I have (which I cant find) is before the wheels and in the summer with the black rag top.
