Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer up this beautiful
1971 Chevrolet Corvette. Between the sharp lines and healthy
engine, this car is sure to be a fun weekend toy for the new owner.
Under the hood of this beauty is a massive 454 CID V8 engine. The
454 was the largest production engine put into a corvette. These
engines made massive torque numbers all the way through the rev
range and made for a thrilling drive. This engine was rebuilt
roughly 1,000 miles ago to ensure proper performance and
reliability. Thanks to the rebuild, the engine runs very well and
pulls like it should. Sending the power to the rear end is a
four-speed manual transmission that shifts firmly through the
gears. Overall, the powertrain on this Vette is solid and performs
very well. This car is just itching to get on some windy roads.
Moving inward, the interior is finished in black and has a very
enclosed and low to the ground feel that provides the driver with
an interesting perspective like that of a racecar. The seats are in
good condition and comfortable. The driver will appreciate the
removable factory hardtop to allow plenty of sunshine in on warmer
days. Also, if the driver would rather keep the top on, the air
conditioning will keep the cabin at a comfortable temperature. On
colder days, the driver will enjoy the heat. Keeping the driving
experience enjoyable are power brakes and power steering. Overall,
the interior in in pretty good shape. Moving outward, the car is
finished in grey PPG paint that accents the curves of the car very
well. The chrome bumpers and side exhaust covers are in good
condition with some isolated minor discoloration that isn't out of
the ordinary for these cars. Supporting each corner of this sweet
ride are the correct rally wheels wrapped in rubber with decent
life left. Overall, the exterior of this beauty is in a very good
driver condition. For more information on this 1971 Chevrolet
