    Pic: Four 1971 Corvettes, Before Dealer Prep

    Hi,
    This picture came to me from Ron Goduti who received it from Ralph Spears. Thanks Ralph and Ron.
    It the roof top parking lot of Luby Chevrolet in Boston, taken in February 1971.
    There's something to like about all four of them. Wouldn't it be great if they're all still around!
    Perhaps Ralph will add a little more information.
    Regards,
    Alan

    Nice pic! Thanks for sharing. Looks like two big blocks, a LT-1 and a small block.

          If yours came from Luby you may not want to hear Ralph's description of his test drives after he did the new car prep.

              I test drive the car almost every time I take it out! It loves t run............. But alas, I'll never know as my serial number is in a batch of serial numbers that the delivery documentation is not available for.

              Nice to meet you in FLA Terry.

                        This is a beautiful 71 LS6 that just landed at my place, today. Nice docs, real drivetrain and low miles...

                            Not really...Just a great car that belongs to a great owner.
                            These LS6 Corvettes are such cool cars. I've owned one and wish I still owned it.

                              Here's another great low mile LS6 coupe. It's red with tan interior. We were fortunate to have this car as a house guest for about a year.
                              The owner of this car has three other very original LS6 Corvettes.
