Dad called me last knight b/c he wants me to help him find a car. He was at the casino the night prior and mom said that he won some but didn't tell how much. It turns out he won about 2K. So I figured he is looking for a project. Well, he isn't.
He is looking for:
69-71 Corvette Lt-1 or LT-5 MATCHING NUMBERS
All orig or fulley restored. Options he is looking for are;
BB 427 or 454 400HP
3:88 or 4:10 posi rear
convertable
air, leather, and auto. I told him that for the HP he wants, he needs to go with a manual tranney but he says that he is getting old. He would prefer it to be yellow, but dont have to be.
If anybody has one or knows wear one is for sale, please let me know. He also mentioned saling his Camaro. 69- 350/350 290 HP with matching #s. Most of the car has been restored but still needs some work. If he decides to sale it, I will post here so you folks have a chance to snag it.
Thanks for listening to me,
Mario
P.S. I told him to sell me the Camaro for the wife , but he said that if he gets rid of it, he would not want to see it again. lol I told him that he just better keep it.

Did your dad call you from the casino drunk or something... JK

Good luck on that one......He can find himself one pretty easily but He will either need to go back to the casino or sell alot more than the camaro.......If he wants a 427-454 he better plan on spending 24k - 32 k for those years...........a 350 around the same yr will only run about 20k restored. If he is willing to find one that needs new paint and small stuff he might be able to find one around 12k-15k. Go pick him up a Corvette Auto Trader so he can at least get a idea on what he might want.
