What an awesome car!

First off, I know! I will get pics next time I see it! So two weeks ago I pulled into my country club and instantly noticed a '71 455 H.O. TA, beautiful car, white and blue. Yesterday on the range, I find out it belongs to our tennis pro so I tracked him down. Turns out he bought it in '81 for $5k (his dad scolded him for paying more for the car than it sold for brand new) with 30k miles on it, it now has 65k. Original everything......paint, wheels, engine, tranny, rear, interior, etc. Hagerty says around $50k value. Is that about right for this car? Not at all for sale (says he'll be buried in it :-)) but just curious on your thoughts. Again, I will get pics the next time it's there!

You know, I'm not sure. Will check next time it's there though.

Working on it Norwood! He doesn't bring her out much. Rest assured, as soon as I see her back at the club I'll take lots.
