This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 502ci V8 crate engine backed by a Richmond Gear five-speed manual transmission. Features include power brakes and steering, a stationary headlight conversion, a hood scoop, fender flares, removable roof panels, side pipes, air conditioning, and 17-inch Vintage Wheel Works wheels. Finished in red with black and white accents over a black leather interior, this C3 Corvette is available now and comes with a clear Michigan title in the seller's name.
The exterior is finished in red with black and white accents. Features include chrome bumpers, stationary headlight covers, a hood scoop, fender flares, color-keyed sport mirrors, color-keyed removable roof panels, a power antenna, a rear spoiler, and smooth bubble taillights.
A set of 17-inch aluminum Vintage Wheel Works wheels is wrapped in 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear Nitto tires.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather. Features include power steering and brakes, manual windows, an AM/FM radio, a center console with a manual shifter, a tilt and telescoping steering column, a billet aluminum steering wheel with a mahogany rim, air conditioning, and simulated woodgrain accents. The seller states the wiper motor is disconnected because the wipers work intermittently.
The aftermarket white-faced speedometer and tachometer are mounted ahead of the driver. The center stack houses a clock and gauges for the fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. With 4,000 miles added during current ownership, the rolled-over odometer reads 104,489 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.
Power is provided by a 502ci V8 crate engine and backed by a Richmond Gear five-speed manual transmission. The reported output is 508 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Engine bay features include black and silver aluminum valve covers, an aluminum intake manifold, an Edelbrock air cleaner, Hooker tube exhaust headers, and a chrome alternator. An oil change was completed in August 2022. The seller reports there is a 5/8-inch scratch where one side of the headers meets the muffler.
This Corvette was factory-equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and a rear drive axle with 3.08:1 gearing. Braking is provided by power four-wheel discs. The exhaust exits through chrome side pipes.
