Impossible to even give an opinion....
That said you should have enough experience gained via your 68 to make
a reasonable decision...
That said...my NOM 72 Ragtop would NOT leave my hands for twice the
asking price of this 71 and it is nowhere near "perfect" .t even if it
were for sale...
Look it over.. see what it needs then walk or buy

Yeah, I bought my 68 when I was like 26 with 1 young one and another on the
way. I had no business buying it then, and had to sell. Now I am no longer
with the money sucking ball and chain, have come along in my career, and
inherated some $. I want a Stingray again.

Major things to look at for that year :
1. Rusted frame just in front of the rear wheels.
2. Windshield pillar rusting ..on the top and both sides.
3. Check all fenders inside on the top, for being in a wreck.
