Canuck Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 As many of you know I sold my red 71 SS to another member last week. Today I drove 700 kilometers from Alberta in my new 71 SS. I purchased this car from FGMCC members Vaughn & Kathie Peoples. When I first laid eyes on this car at the 2006 Western Meet, I loved it. I never thought it would ever be in my garage though but sometimes dreams come true... it only took 10 years. It is always great to catch up with Vaughn and Kathie. This all came together very quickly so I have to thank Vaughn and his son Liam for getting the car ready for me so quickly. The car has 71,000 miles and is a very clean car. It drove great all day and truly enjoyed my first road trip in it. The next stop will be Grass Valley, CA for the Western Meet. Attached are some photos from today. 1 Quote

Sam (Bones) Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 wow! I can't believe Vaughn parted with that car! that SS is drop dead beautiful!, I had the pleasure for going for a ride in it when I went up to Vaughn's back in '07 CONGRATS!!!! 1 Quote
Rob Peters Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Very nice Aaron. That one would have been hard to part with. I think that is my favorite 71 color. rob Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 She's a looker Aaron. Congrats on your new ride. Doug Quote
MCfan Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Wow, another '71 SS! As much as I prefer '70's, I might have sloughed the '70 to hold a pair of SSs (assuming the "house rules" allow that, of course). Your trade is like changing out of a pair of Allen Edmonds into another pair of a different color ... same great feel, different look. Nice interior color on the new one. Enjoy! Quote
70bowtie Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Great looking car Aaron, like that color without the vinyl top. Same color as mine inside and out. Leo 1 Quote
Vaughn Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Selling "that" SS was a decision that I thought would never have to be made. As we all know "life happens when we are making plans" and that decision was made. Sad day for sure around here. On the other hand I am very happy that it went to a great home, many thanks to April and Aaron. See you all in Grass Valley 1 Quote
LS5 Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 wow! I can't believe Vaughn parted with that car! You Can say that again Sam, I knew the car was gone because my cell phone rang and I could hear someone crying on the otherend. And it wasn't one of my kids.... Darren Quote
Vaughn Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Common Darren, I was only sniffling a little, Quote
Mo's70MCs Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 All I can say is you got a beauty. For us that have seen this car in person pictures don't even do it justice. It is an elegant car and well done, I'm jealous Aron,, I'm not even going to get into the semantics, you must have something on Vaughn, for him to part with it. Quote
72MC Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Aaron,.........JACKPOT !!!!!!!!!!!!! I have drooled over that car from afar for years. What an awesome day for your garage. I am extremely happy for your gain. Enjoy !!! - Dave Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Well Vaughn must have stumbled upon something that he just had to have Quote
thepcsurgeon Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I'm so jealous. I'm looking for an SS in that shape and it's very hard to find. Happy for you.......really, I am. LOL Congrats and good luck. Quote
Jared Richey Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Nice aaron. Didn't dawn on me that was Vaughns car, but remember seeing pictures of it now. Quote
overdrive Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Looks like a great car. Congratulations! Dan Quote
72 LS5 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 That car is beyond beautiful!!! I get dibs on it next............ Quote
Canuck Posted August 19, 2016 Author Posted August 19, 2016 That car is beyond beautiful!!! I get dibs on it next............ Your are actually not the first to call dibs. One member called dibs before I even got it home, LOL Quote
wtd Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Very nice! I would love to one day own a 70 or 71 SS. I found a 71 SS for sale but it's still out of my price range at $12,000. I'm not even sure what these go for these days as I have been out of the loop for awhile. I just took my 70 Monte out of the garage today for the first time in two years to get it inspected for another two years. Anyway, enjoy your new toy. It is beautiful. Wayne Quote
Rare Rat Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I have the same color interior in my 71 SS. can you send me a picture of the package tray area? Thanks in advance.. Quote
