Tony Buccuti admits that
he made the leap about seven years ago. Formerly a die-hard Pontiac owner,
having owned a pair of older Trans-Ams and a GTO, Tony says he "moved
up" to Corvette ownership with the purchase of this red-on-red 1971 convertible.
With a white convertible top and the base 270-horsepower/4-speed drivetrain,
Tony says the Corvette is just what he wanted — not a 100-point show
car but a true driver that looks and runs great. Although mostly original,
Tony has upgraded the radio and shifter, plus he added the factory sidepipes
because, "I always wanted a car with sidepipes!" Tony puts around
2,000 miles a year on the Corvette and, over the seven years he’s owned
it, has never had a problem.
