Default 71 Pro-Touring

71 Pro Touring Corvette, only 600 miles With the Ride Tech 48 Hr Corvette selling last month on Barrett Jackson for $127,800 I thought it would be good to put my car on the market and see where it goes.

Wx finally broke debris off the road so I went for a 20 mile ride on I-95 and winding back roads. I still have a smile on my face

Thanks for the comments and yep for long rides they come in handy if I have the windows down. With the windows up and the AC or heat on same effect.
As for the sale all good offers considered. That said the wx is starting to come back around.

Spring day so off I went for a 40 mile drive. It was the first time I sat in traffic but the water temp stayed steady at 210 degrees and oil temp never went past 170 degrees and that was when I was idling for about 5 minutes then stopped and go for several miles in town. Otherwise the oil temp stayed at 140 degrees. I just laugh when I hear there are cars with 700 plus HP. With 618hp and all this torque in a 3200 lb car it is a beast. Trying to see if the local airport will give us sometime for some high speed runs. Trying to get a video up on line, I need my daughters help.
