Yes, I agree. Many things make up a good car, but rust can be a deal killer. Another expensive issue is bulging rivets in front of the hood. Fixing it Correctly is Very expensive.
So, no rust or rivet worries with this car.

Hi Toy,
I was looking at the photos again and was wondering….. which of them is the most important?…. for me it's the photo of the #2 body mount/hinge pillar…. because, even with as REAL as this car is, IF it was rusty, it will sooner or later break someone's heart.
Solid Car!
Regards,
Alan

I've owned two '70 LT-1 convertibles. Incredible experience to drive.
With the authentic documentation of an LT-1, and the original driveline in the car this is the real thing. Seen many lately?
Now, recognize the work and the costs incurred. And look at the result. Do I drive it or do I just admire it? Gorgeous car.
You did a terrific job and some wise and lucky individual will soon step up.

Thanks Tom. I remember seeing your 24K mi green roadster. It was a great survivor.

Actually a few reasons; getting close to 70 so one less thing to worry about and take care of. I have a '96 LT4 roadster which I can actually drive more often without worry to have a little fun. I have 2 children and I recently helped one get out of a condo into a house. The other is in a condo, so selling it would be for a good cause.

Thank you. It may seem like a large premium for an engine option, but driving one lets you know why. I don't think I've had it over 4500rpm, but at about 2500 it feels and sound great. I personally feel that all 3 years perform similar, but the '70 is the first choice for collectors. Good luck with your car.
