Sexy! #s matching, factory red/red and documented LT-1! It has
original protect-o-plate and tank sticker. Painstakingly restored
to original specs. Less than 2,000 LT1 Corvettes were made in 1971.
The beauty of the LT1 was that it packed nearly the same punch of
the entry level 454, but weighed less, allowing for improved
overall drivability. Many consider the LT1 to be the finest
Corvette ever made, praising its flexibility, lightweight
packaging, and robust nature that mimic the attributes of a true
racing engine.
EXTERIOR: Factory colors! Born Mille Miglia Red, code 973. This car
has been repainted and they did it right, the finish is glossy and
reflective. All the panels are nicely aligned with good gaps. The
doors close easily with minimal effort and the raised hood lets
others know this is not a typical Corvette. The rear bumper has
been rechromed and the front is a nice original. Take off the
T-tops and remove the back window for an open air experience that
rivals any convertible. It's sitting on 15" rally rims wrapped in
BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: Factory colors! Born red inside too, code 407. This
interior has the perfect blend of new and original. The seats were
recovered. The door panels were replaced. It has an aftermarket
stereo. The remainder appears to be unabused and very original.
There is no feeling equal to being nestled in the cockpit of a
Corvette!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wonderfully restored to original specs and
sharply detailed! Boasting matching numbers this LT1 is a true
performance model with a 4 bolt main block, forged aluminum
pistons, high rise aluminum intake and a Holley carb. It is easily
identified by it's aluminum finned valve covers. It's equipped with
optional power steering and power brakes. The alternator looks
fresh. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall are
all painted the correct satin black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Nicely carpeted with some storage
compartments.
UNDERSIDE: It appears to be original and serviced as needed. This
Corvette features independent suspension front and back. It also
includes disc brakes at all for wheels, the e-brake assembly is
hooked up. There is a factory style exhaust system with square tips
going through the valance. It also has the proper raw fiberglass
floors that have not been painted over. Looking up at the motor
it's clean Chevy Orange and has the correct style starter. VIN
number matching close ratio Muncie 4-speed that transfers the power
back to a 3.55 posi rear end.
SERVICE: Our shop thoroughly inspected this car and we repaired the
amp gauge, replaced the distributor, replaced the vacuum switch for
the wipers, replaced the flasher for the turn signals, fixed the
left visor, tightened the gearbox, bled the brakes, fixed the
parking brake, mounted and balanced four new tires, and fixed an
exhaust leak.
The LT1's legacy endures, captivating enthusiasts and collectors
alike. With the #'s matching drivetrain and killer factory colors,
the decision is simple, this is the right one!
