Awesome '71 #s LT1 Corvette with Day 2 1970s Paint
 

Current owner found this one stored away for decades, and got it running and roadworthy. Is this not a deal for the $21,995 ask? I don't love the paint, but I do love the original yellow-on-saddle color combo and original drivetrain.

Amazingly, this car was sold for $16,500 earlier this month but the buyer backed out.

That air cleaner lid looks like an old hubcap.

Now thats a shaggin wagon...

Does the pad stamp look good to the pros here? The CGZ looks like it fell off a cliff. Maybe just the angle of the picture? Broach marks?

The air cleaner lid actually looks like a Ford Hipo unit that someone banged one of the contours out of.

I have a number of strange but legitimate 1971 CGZ stamps in my files. Some are almost too funny to believe as legitimate, but they are. It appears that the VIN is a factory grind-out.
An unusual pad, to be sure.

One of many in my files.

Throw some original American 200S wheels on there and that paint job would begin to look just fine!

I think Western Cyclone/Hurricane turbines with the "insert" area painted yellow would be killer.

And change that carpet.....

I like it!!

I like it........and I have the perfect Day 2 headers for it too.

Sold at 16k + nice score for someone.

I've never really been a fan of those wheels, but you are 100% correct, they would look perfect on that car, good call.

And its back, a second 16.5k bid that backed out (supposedly).
