Been eyeing a double chrome bumper C3 for awhile. Finally pulled the trigger on this 71 LT-1 convertible.
Looking forward to getting some advise and crowd sourcing the incredible wealth of knowledge from this forum.

Gorgeous car and welcome to the club! I also own a 71 LT-1 Conv.

My car is driven daily, except for the past 4 or 5 days due to all the fires here in Northern Ca.!

Great ride Robby, welcome aboard. I have a friend with a 71 LT-1. The cam in that engine is badazz and sounds incredible running through under-car chambered exhaust. It's a serious thrill.
