ok. It's a 1970 454 manual. It didn't come with that hood I changed it as part of the restoration - the original was a little too boring for me. The car's been in the shop for many years now and it should finally be ready by xmas. I've also got a brand new interior (black) that's ready to be installed when the paint work is done.

The vehicle in the back ground is a 1958 plymoth bellvedeer;27
And  blackflags will probably be one of the best 1970 B/B manual roadsters around :24
Hopefully he will be at the AA day in January at Castle Hill;42

Hi jolinari ;42
yes I have done everything on this corvette with the exception of the paint work
I have done the conversion and body work & mechanical/electrical and interior when it is painted;50
It will end up the same as a marrone corvette I did which is also a B/B manual roadster;41
