I've owned several Corvettes over the years and currently have a 71' roadster that had an Eckler or Greenwood kit installed years ago. I'd like to find an original set of seats for this car at a reasonable price or possibly sell the car. It's had a lot of mechanical improvements such as stainless brakes, all new suspension parts, new 3.55 gear (original 3.08 still good), new battery box, etc. Original 454 with 4 speed, but has a stroker motor and both tops. Runs really strong and needs paint and new wheel/tire combo to finish. I also currently have a Porsche 911 and a 03' Cobra 10th anniversary I bought new. Look forward to learning from other Corvette fans, and more about the new C7.

Well lets see you 71. I have a 72, which I love. I have a 70 428 CJ Mustang too.

Good luck either way on the 71.
