Default Hello from NJ.

Hello,All.
I have been a Vette guy for a long time. I had a 84 around 30 years ago. I sold it after a few years and have been waiting to get another for a long time.
I am the proud owner of a new 45 year old 1971 Coupe w/ 4 speed.

Let the fun begin!

Welcome to the Forum
For 1971 only about one of ten Corvettes had the 4 speed manual trans. Which engine does yours have? There were only about 5000 454 engines, the rest had the base 350 with 270hp and only about 2000 of them had the 330hp
