1971 Completed Restoration

I have a big shout out to David at DMS Corvette Shop in Garland, TX.

20 years ago my dad and I disassembled a 1971 big block car; yet, never found time to get it back together. A couple years ago we found DMS. David got it back together, looking and operating great!

To all who are looking for a shop in North TX who truly knows Corvettes inside and out... go see David!

Plus another quick shout out to great body work and paint from Stuarts Paint & Body in Dallas, TX.

Oh wow truly awesome car. I drooled over these cars as a elementary school kid. One of my school mates, his brother had a blue 72 454 coupe. Not sure which color. But man did I just sit and daydream about that car.

Gorgeous car, and I am partial to 71 Brands Hatch green and know them well having touched just about every nut and bolt on one. Big block would be fun. Convertible is the best. Enjoy the heck out of your baby and nicely done.
