Offered here is a classic C3 survivor. This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette
remains all original from the factory, has just 43,500 original
miles, and has all known ownership history. According to the
Protect-O-Plate, this car was purchased new from George Matick
Chevrolet (still has the original dealer badge on the back) on
September 16, 1971 by Percilla Cerion, a local school teacher. Our
clients brother purchased the car from her and brought It to
California. He then passed and our client inherited the vehicle in
2015. It is now time the car found a new garage.
This is a very late 1971 example. The St. Louis factory build date
is July 15, 1971 and the 1971 Corvette production ended the very
next day: July 16, 1971. From the factory, the car was finished in
War Bonnet Yellow (code 989) with matching T-Tops over a Saddle
Vinyl (code 417) interior. 14,680 2-Door Corvette Coupes were
produced in 1971 and of those 3,706 were finished in War Bonnet
Yellow. The paint and interior remain 100-percent original and
untouched. As does the powerplant. The car is powered by the
original and numbers matching 350ci/270hp V8 with a the original
Muncie M20 4-Speed manual gearbox. The car also has the original
alternator and carburetor. Other noteworthy factory features
include Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Brakes, and Air
Conditioning.
It is truly a surviving example. All original components, even the
glass and seatbelts. The car fires on command, runs strong, and
shifts smooth. You will be hard-pressed to find another one this
original at this asking price. Call or e-mail if interested. Thank
you for looking.
