Hello RBHouston,

       you asked for opinions, so i'll weigh in. ...

       as a "collector car" things i have recently read indicate that
       those early 70's vettes are at the bottom of the market now and
       will only go up... i don't think they're quite up to what's
       being asked in this case, but getting closer. .. also as a
       collector, the 454 would be the more desireable, even though,
       if i recall correctly, they only put out about 200 hp. ... ..

       as a driver, well now that's a different story, and i assume
       you're buying it to DRIVE, the new crate 350 probably puts out
       more power with less weight, and better gas mileage than the
       rat motor that was in the car.... and a good 20' car makes a
       great driver! no worries about a rock chips, interior wear,
       etc, etc. ...

       on the other hand, i personally wouldn't buy ANY car made in
       the USA between '70 and '75 or 6. all those safety regulations
       were just being implemented as well as all of the pollution and
       bumper crap. they hadn't had time to integrate those things,
       and they just tacked 'em on, making almost all of them heavier
       and uglier than anything on the road before or since. not to
       mention the issue of build quality. .. there was a saying about
       that time, "GM finds it easier to advertise quality than to
       build it". .. .. it was the beginning of the fall in market
       share from the General, and with real reason.....

       on the other hand... IT'S a VETTE!!!!!!! good gads, you could
       be driving a VETTE!!!!!!!!!!!

       on the other hand,.... you have different fingers.
