its a 350 with a 4 speed. lumpy cam fitted.now this thing totally blew me away when i first heard it.at idle it sits on just 400rpm.you can hear each cylinder cutting in and out.how it does'nt stall has got me beat,but when he gives it a boot full.man its got a nice bark to it.the interior does need a tidy up and so does the engine.mostly cosmetic.puds an instro fitter so wiring is not a problem.interesting it has a thermo fan fitted.he drove it back from alice and didnt miss a beat.his headlights struggle to come up sometimes but if he gives it boot full and backs off they pop right up. he lives 2 streets away from me and i see it every day,down the road from him and turn right is another 73.also red 454 4 speed,that my importer mate brought over from the states.the BB vette is in mint cond,but the guy who ownes it is not really an enthusiest,just a young kid with lots of dough to spend.he didnt even know what a vette was until last year when he was at the pub and an out of towner pulled in to load a slab for the drive home.he got chattig to the bloke and ordered one.he nearly got ripped off big time with a R.H.D. car he almost bought...the car was supposed to be a 71 year LT1.in need of a spray paint but original to boot....for 21k????? either the deal of the decade or a hmmmmmmm i wonder.for the 21k it included a new paintjob and new tyres......spoke to a few of us,and we sort of told him to be careful.he didnt know what an LT1 was.turns out it was just a normal small block vette with a completly rusted chassis.he ended getting the red 73 from importer mate.paid AU$ 35k landed.i must get around and take pics of it.
