Anyone remember Allan71?
He's been gone a long time but I just got an e-mail back from him today. He said he's been working like a dog, fixing his Vettes and had computer problems. He said he'll try to get back on the forum soon. I think he's got an LT-1 and an LS-5!
For those who don't recognize his name, he is a valuable source of Corvette information and has helped me on more than one occassion.

Now that you mention it, he has been gone for awhile. You better keep working on him to get back here. At least check in once in awhile. :)

He's waiting to hear back from Troy---evidently his screen name an password have expired!
I remember one instance in particular where I had a question about which type of hood I could use on my '70. He posted a bunch of Vette pics with different hoods! :D He also helped me ID my engine, tranny and rear end!

Re: Anyone remember Allan71? (1970 Stingray)
Looked at some vettes with him at 2000 Carlisle.
I was hoping to see him this year there but didn't.
A real knowledgeable vette guy who is also a real nice guy.
Glad to hear he's coming back.

Re: Anyone remember Allan71? (1970 Stingray)
I had posted on here and at NetVettes (where he just used Allan) a couple of time and no one knew what had happened to him. Glad he is okay and hope to see him come back.

Re: Anyone remember Allan71? (paso)
i remember him,he has a 71 LT1 and used to be on the vette-vues board also, a wealth of knowledge. in fact, it seems over the last few months some of the regulars have dropped off,either that or they are looking but not replying.

Re: Anyone remember Allan71? (1970 Stingray)
Oh yes I remember Allan - that's great news. :) A bunch of us sat on top of the hill outside the gates at Carlisle 2000 to watch the burnout parade. :D There have been several posts over the last year inquiring about his whereabouts! Glad he'll be rejoining us soon. Definately a shark numbers & details kind of guy. :yesnod:
Hurry up Allan! :seeya :seeya

Re: Anyone remember Allan71? (1970 Stingray)
Man, am I happy to hear this.
He was of such a big help to me, when I bought my Vette as a complete
novice and helped me determine the non factory engine and more.
I just wondered about the quick and professional answers , he always had to all my questions , by that time on the Netvettes forum.
I thought , he invented and build this cars ! :cool:
Thanks for telling us this good news.
