Definite crack pipe.

I have my 71 ragtop 4 speed with lots of goodies, a nice 20/20 car and cannot get a glance at 22k

No 327 engines that year, they only offered the 350 and 427 in 1969 Corvettes.

The seller screwed that up.

"Some of the photos are not current; the passenger side has had some black primer painted on it."

"Pontiac Can Am Lamon's Sport Coupe". First time I've seen that spelling.

Good candidate for a 400 4 speed swap. A little pricey maybe...

Notice the 56 Chevy wagon and the 69 Plymouth in the background of the Ventura shots? Nice neighborhood..

IMO 6 cylinder cars are boring unless it's a Sprint. That car has wicked sleeper potential. Three on the tree? nope. Stick a 5 or 6 speed in there behind a stock 400= performance and gas MPG.

Because most people are like myself, and probably just don't care. I care about violent power. I could care less if there was only 1200 cars that year that came with a 175 hp straight six and a three on the tree.

Don't get me wrong, I have a respect for the truly rare. I wouldn't yank a 302 out of a Z28 even though you probably make more power with a Blueprint 383. I just feel like a base model economy engine doesn't qualify for protection just because most of them went to the junkyard or got pulled.
