For Sale: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette gives you numbers-matching big block power, a tasteful leather interior, and a sharp presentation of one of the most desirable Corvette bodies around. So it only gets better when it's dipped in a sleek representation of its correct one-year-only color.


The trim tag tells us this was born Brands Hatch Green, and it's a color we love. After all, it's named after a British racing circuit, and this color is deep enough to almost be called British Racing Green. And you'll absolutely be showing it off plenty because there was a solid investment here to make sure it remains smooth and shiny. So as people compliment the luster, you also get to remind them how it's special to 1971 only (the formula would also be offered one more time in 1973, but not with the historic name.) More than just the paint, the whole package is quite attractive. You have aggressive Stingray pieces, like the big block hood and large dual exhaust tips. This is joined by elegant shining brightwork on the sharply pointed front bumper, rocker trim, two-piece rear bumper, and iconic Rally wheels.


A saddle tan leather interior has the look of a European-level of sophistication against the deep green exterior. So it really fits with the nature of this special Vette. There is a quality appearance with working fiber optics and courtesy lights. And you've got T-tops, power windows, and the removable rear window to easily open up this coupe to the world. There are even provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing to fully function again.) And of course, you'll love slipping behind the sports steering wheel. It tilts/telescopes to make sure you get a good view of the large speedo and tach. And all your auxiliary readouts are prominently in the center so you can keep a full eye on the motor.


Lift the hood and see an engine bay filled with big-block power. This numbers-matching 454 cubic-inch LS5 V8. It has a bold but stock look with the vibrant orange block, matching valve covers, and a bright air grabber that still has the proper GM decal. There's nothing quite like turning the key and hearing this monster motor awaken. So you'll be glad to know there have been fresh investments in keeping this a strong runner. The consignor states that there has been over $2,200 invested within about the last year that includes a rebuilt Rochester four-barrel carburetor, a new fuel pump, a new water pump, coolant system work, a new battery, and a tune-up. It loves to hit the road, and the TH400 three-speed transmission was built stout to handle the power while also delivering easy automatic shifting. It's easy to enjoy this for any time driving thanks to the fully independent suspension, new shocks, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and 2020-dated new BF Goodrich rubber at each corner.


This is the cool Corvette that has a ton of American power and a bit of distinct European flair. It all makes for the big block classic you know you need in your garage. Call today!!!
