This has to be the same '71....
..I went to see at Roger's Corvette's in Maitland,Fl in August 1999.
I wound up buying my '69 from a private owner in the next day who lived nearby on a tip from Corvette Masters.
A vette mechanic shop near Rogers.
That yellow '71 had 69K or so mileage and the asking price was $15,900 then.
Nice vette but didn't like the yellow with green interior.
Got to be the same one! :eek:

That was then, this is now. That is one nice looking '71 with a ton of documentation. :yesnod:
It is and it wasn't for me.
Just couldn't get past that green interior with yellow.
Doesn't sound bad but it not my cup of tea.
Notice is $7000 more than in'99.

Joe, you mean we could've both had 71's.......I agree, that yellow doesn't do anything for me either....if it was War Bonnet Yellow....now your talking. :chevy
Edit....wait a minute....did you say green interior.....I guess I'd have to pass.

Got to remember it was the 70's
Well, That makes two. I have a '71 LS5 Yellow/Green interior. 51,000 orig miles. Interior doesn't look that green though. In fact, no one has ever noticed it was green until I told them. They always say "I thought it was black!" It's green, Very dark green. I had intentions of changing it to black. It has grown on me though. I have seen quite a few WB/yellow with green interior.
