Luggage Rack
MADLT1:
these luggage racks were not fitted from factory they were dealer gm options back in the day,fited to the cars after they recieved them from the factory by the dealer ship,they are recognised by the ncrs people aswell.personly out of the 2 vetts the blue 71 for me is the standout 1,i guess it all comes down to price and how much needs to be spent on them to bring them up to scatch ,if at all that is,are they both LHD?how good is the interiors?allso the best thing is the aussie dollar is very high at the moment so if you need to buy from the states now is the time.keep us posted please;ay

Silver should shine like a mirror. If that's the real finish then it looks suss to me -- more like silver frost.

Its not your monitor...
It is meant to have had new paint less than 4 years ago. Silver can be bad in pictures so thats why i want to see it for real before i decide. .....or could be average paint :-)

Your roadster looks heaps better without the rack, IMO.
Again, I think they look okay on coupes.

Hi
Both are LHD and both have fairly new interior refits (seats, door trims carpets etc.) (71 has all new rubbers as well)
Cant comment on the 69 but the 71 drives nice and tight and has lots of new suspension bushes etc etc.
71 is the best I have driven so far while looking ... not a huge sample but best out of 6 :-)
Am sure there will be lots of things needed over time but have been trying to get something with a fair amount of work already done and in OZ. I know i may be paying more but dont have time to go to the US or access to the facilities there to properly check them out. Even here its a bit of a problem.
Regards
Craig

Hi Craig. You can't beat being able to inspect & drive a Vette before you buy. I have heard of plenty of poor examples of cars inspected by so called experts who act as your agents in the States so make your own judgements locally. You will always have to do things so accept this & get a car you are happy with straight up. I am not a fan of rear racks but the blue coup looks good with it. If you choose that car, leave it on for a while. It may grow on you especially if you do not travel light.
Keep us in the loop. It is always good to see another Vette on the road.
