Default price evaluation 1971

Guys, this is my second post and I'm super new to the Vette world but I love them and I'm looking for one.
I like the one in the link but, despite hours spent on internet reading info etc, I'm not sure if this one I've found and love it is a good deal. The specs are exactly what I want, also the color. Could you please tell me the good and the bad of this baby and what do you think about the price? I need a car in mint condition, no restoration required whatsoever (as I said I'm a learner). thanks a lot in advance!

Christian, I think that is a very nice car at a realistic price for a big block, 4 speed with a complete frame off. Color combination is great!
I had a Brands Hatch Green BB 4 speed coupe years ago and loved it. Wish I still had it today.
I say, if it's in your price range, grab it. You can't go wrong with this one.
Greg

I agree with Greg, a lot of work has been done to this car. If you're looking for a '71 LS5 4 speed Coupe with factory air, I don't think you will find a better one at that price. My '71 Convertible has the same color combination, but has original paint, interior, suspension, etc., so this one really stands out to me.

Good luck

Thanks a lot guys, i love it, i m looking for a 71 coupe and the most important thing is the color, hatch green, this exact one. I was lookimg for saddle interior but green doesn’t look bad.
was the restoration done pripwrly in terms of maintening the originality of the car as much as possible? Looks fantastic but can i consider it still a collectable?
thanks a lot
