Default Hello from Oklahoma
I joined the forum several years ago but never posted before, I've spent a lot of time lurking around though. Here's my '71 LS5 that I bought in '07, it's been a very dependable car but recently developed a leak at the differential yoke seal. This pic was taken last April at Covette Expo, Enid OK she won the "Road Warrior" award. My wife accepted the award & our son is getting ready to drive it out of the building for me, his first & only time to drive it BTW.
