New member from France, in C3-1971
Hello,
My name is Philippe, and I am the lucky owner of a 1971 Corvette, in France (Europe, far to the east.), purchased last May 2017 in France, but coming directly from Nebraska.
I register with you to share my passion with you, and learn a little more about this brand new car for me.
My Corvette is from 1971, small block but engine replaced in 2015 by a BluePrint (390 HP), automatic gearbox TH400, side pipe Hooker and carburettor (Good word ?) Holley 600 CFM.Here are the photos :

I will quietly remake the interior, which is clean but period, and modify - maybe - a little outside by changing the rims and adding a "Baldwin" decoration.
I will also ask you for advice regarding transmission (torque converter), because mine consumes all the power of the engine
See you soon to discuss with you.
Phil.
