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.

not sure what's in the background. The guy who's painting it has all sorts of old tanks in his worshop...

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
