Default 71 coupe new to forum

Hi all, i bought my 1971 350 4 speed coupe last spring. Lets put it this way, i am 43 years old and i have always wanted a vette. Every year something would keep me from getting one. This is how i got mine. I started a secret stash, actually it wasn,t a secret to my wife but i would always put my extra cash in this safe that i have. To make a long story short, 14,000 dollors later and i got it .
