Nice

Is that the original (factory) silver? It looks a lot different than the '71 Nevada Silver.

To 71Coupe...That is the original color. In 69 it was called Cortez Silver.
To Corz....Just curious about the traction problem statement

Thanks to all for the great comments.

In other words he's saying you have a nice, high-powered big block. Lots of power = lots of tire spin. A good "problem" to worry about.

Very nice. Any idea what the production date is? I noticed the early (68 style) wiper actuator.

Build date was E10 ( Decemer 10th 1968) All numbers match and she was # 10245 out of the box.

Once in a while I need to go past the old plant, It is now used for storage. I believe the Corvette portion is now used by Pepsi for bottling. They also built Pickups and Impala's there.
