Vehicle Description
There are few more desirable Stingrays out there than this 1971
Chevrolet Corvette LT1 convertible. This is a well-respected
survivor that loves to show off its rare color. But the part you'll
be showing off the most is the highly correct presentation of the
almighty numbers-matching LT1 V8.
War Bonnet Yellow is a great Corvette color. While popular, it was
only available for a few years, so 'Vette people love it. That's
why we're particularly excited that this special hue is not only
factory-correct, but also it shows all the right signs of being
factory original. It's the ideal mix where you have the right hints
of aged-in look in the finish, but an overall great panel quality.
So it lets the world know it has a well-respected preservation that
has endured more than a half-century. Authenticity means stylish
chrome bumpers, complete badging, headlights that rest flush, and
stock turbine-style wheel covers. And of course, the LT1 has the
special hood with a black stripe package that helps outline the
power dome.
Beneath the black folding roof is a saddle tan leather interior
that's a stylish complement to the yellow on the outside. And just
like the exterior, this factory-correct color appears to be mostly
original. There are replacement components for those who want a
fresher update, but the Corvette community especially appreciates a
highly stock example that shows a little character in the leather.
After all, it can only be original once, and so this one even
leaves the Delco AM/FM radio there for display. Plus, as a great
Corvette, it remains a great driver's machine. There's a grippy
sports steering wheel, large speedo and tach in front of you, and a
full auxiliary readout package prominently to the side. And that
shifter is exactly where you want your right hand to be.
Under the hood is what makes this car extra-special. This is the
numbers-matching LT1 350 cubic-inch V8. It's the ultimate small
block built with forged internals and solid lifters direct from
Chevy. And as you look over the whole engine bay, you'll spot the
right pieces, like the finned aluminum valve covers, Winters
aluminum intake, and the correct big Holley four-barrel carburetor.
This special V8 fires up with gusto, and you can just tell it's
ready to hit the road. And you're in full control thanks to the
four-speed manual transmission. In fact, speaking of control, this
Stingray is a terrific sports car with a fully independent sports
suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes that
have been given a more recent investment.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual. Rarity, power,
preservation, and beauty all come together on this LT1 Stingray. So
if you're a collector, you know this needs a prime space in your
garage. Call today!!!
