Vehicle Description
This is a numbers-matching big block 1971 Chevrolet Corvette
convertible, so of course it deserves the mean triple-black
treatments. And not only were the colors upgraded, but you can tell
that someone with the right eye added the right pieces to make this
the vintage 'Vette that loves the open road.
You can always tell when a car has been treated with respect. The
panels on this one retain the crisp look that made you instantly
fall in love/lust with the Stingray, and the doors of this
convertible shut with authority. Plus, the brightwork is gorgeous.
It shines to highlight the shark-like front end, large Rally
wheels, and artful two-piece rear bumper. Corvette people know that
the factory didn't offer black in '71. But this one was given an
upgrade with a slippery application. After all, a big block droptop
machine like this deserves to look like a glossy midnight hero.
The black folding roof looks great, and so does the full black
interior. So not only does this look great with the top up or down,
but also you get the ultra-desirable triple-black (exterior,
interior, and roof) that everyone WISHED they could have had in
1971. The rich darkness of the bucket seats, door panels, and
carpeting allow the accents to pop on everything from wood-like
door inserts, to the three-spoke steering wheel. For the driver the
essential gauges in front of you with a full auxiliary readout
package prominently to the side. This is the kind of classic that
will make you want to get out and drive, so you get the right
features for all-day motoring. The seats are finished in a supple
leather; there's an AM/FM/CD stereo upgrade; and you can stay cool
with the top down thanks to factory air conditioning.
Lift the hood and see an engine bay filled with big-block power.
This 454 cubic-inch LS5 V8 is the car's original numbers-matching
engine. The tidy engine bay features the correct details like the
Chevy orange paint on the block as well as the bright distributor
shield, valve covers, and air topper. There's nothing quite like
turning the key and hearing this monster motor awaken. Plus, you
get even more of that great sound with a header package that feeds
the stainless dual exhaust. More than just big power, this is built
for the grand tour. That's why you have great driving features like
power steering and the original TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission. Plus, the Stingray has great features you don't find
on many classics, like four-wheel disc brakes and a fully
independent sports suspension.
The right original pieces and a great triple-back upgrade combine
to make a terrific droptop classic. So don't let this big block
slip away. Call now!
