Very pretty car! Convertible LT-1's don't come around every day. If you can, post more photos; interior, chassis, bird cage if you can.....

I love these less-popular colored LT-1's!

Thanks I think Orange looks great on these cars
i have attached a photo of mount #2 on the passenger side
it looks very dry in my opinion
I have also attached one of the inside of the cage on the passenger side
there was minor surface rust in that area that I cleaned off to inspect
it is all good
The passenger side pillar shows some minor pitting from the outside looking through the windshield
It’s not significant so it could easily be cleaned up if a person was restoring the car
i will need to get the car on a hoist this weekend to get photos of the chassis etc

Passenger side inside

#2 mount inside kick panel

Nice Car and a very good price... IMHO it will not last too long... there are not too many comps for it...
The only other similarly priced 71 LT1 Roadster is 42k with original warbonnet paint, missing smog and is probably a high number 3 condition after being cleaned and detailed.
FWIW this car presents itself much better than the Warbonnet car.

I’m guessing that’s the listed for 89k at John Scotti’s
Looks like it turned out very nicely

No Tank sticker or POP
I had shown a shot of the engine stamp to a NCRS judge and he concluded that it looked good
the casting date on the block and heads are correct
the M21 has the VIN on it as well.
