Vehicle Description
This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette convertible gives you numbers-matching
V8 power, the numbers-matching four-speed, a cool classic interior,
and overall drop-top appeal. So it only gets better when it's
dipped in a sleek representation of its correct single-year
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 the luggage on the back seems to really go with
the European attitude. You'll absolutely be showing this color off
plenty because the respray even gave it a nice metallic element.
And this deserves to command extra attention. Because this deep
green has its name special to 1971 only. The sharply pointed front
bumper, two-piece rear bumper, wide exhaust tips, and iconic Rally
wheels are all part of a very speedy style. And the overall package
has the look of a car that you just know needs to be driven.
The black roof has a dark and clean style that goes well with the
deep green. And why you take it down, you still get the same
blackout appeal from the full black interior. And the aggressive
darkness gets you ready for a driver's environment. You have
high-back bucket seats, a center console in-between, a three-spoke
sports steering wheel, crisp/clear gauges, and a shifter where you
want to rest your right hand. But more than just driver-ready,
you'll appreciate this classic for its vintage details, like the
working Delco AM/FM radio, wood-like trim in the doors, and bright
courtesy lights that greet you when the door opens.
The engine bay is detailed with a crisp and clean presentation. And
there are nice pieces like the bold block, finned valve covers, and
a shining air grabber with callout. It makes for a great way to
showcase the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. It's a well-kept
motor that fires up eagerly as it inhales deeply from the
four-barrel carburetor. This is a strong small block, and the
numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission means you get to
keep the control firmly in your hands. As you look underneath,
you'll spot a nice investment in some newer bushings and a newer
rear transverse leaf spring. Plus, the independent suspension,
power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes make for a solid
driver.
The sale comes complete with the original warranty card, owner's
manual, build receipts, and maintenance records. Here's a cool
drop-top Corvette that has plenty of American power and a bit of
distinct European flair. Call today!!!
