This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is an older restoration that has been with the seller for six years and is powered by a numbers-matching 350ci V8 engine backed by a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Features include body-color T-tops, new air-conditioning, new power steering, brakes, tilt/telescopic steering column, manual windows, new Holley carburetor, new shocks and newly rebuilt suspension. Refinished in red over a black leather interior, this garage-kept Corvette is available now and comes with the original (removed) intake manifold and carburetor and a clear Texas title in the seller's name.
Originally finished in green, the body of this Corvette was refinished in red under prior ownership. It reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration performed by Auto Restorers, Inc. of Haleyville, Alabama in 1984. Features include chrome bumpers, pop-up quad headlights, rocker trim, a driver-side mirror, hideaway windshield wipers, driver- and passenger-side mirrors, color-keyed removable roof panels, a rear-mounted antenna, and quad taillights with integrated reverse lights. The seller states there are a few small rock chips in the paint and a couple of small fiberglass spiderwebs. The door jamb by the VIN plate has some slight rust.
A set of 15" x 8" Chevrolet Rally wheels with stainless steel center caps and trim rings is wrapped in new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather. Features include black door panels and carpeting, black carpeted floor mats, a center console with an emergency brake and an automatic transmission shifter, manual windows, and power steering and brakes. Additional features include a removable back window, air conditioning, a tilt/telescopic steering column, a black dashboard with a black top pad, and the original AM/FM stereo radio.
A 160-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, battery, and oil pressure are located ahead of the driver. According to the seller, the clock does not work reliably. The five-digit mechanical odometer has rolled over and reads 20,500 miles, which equates to 120,500 miles.
