This 1971 Corvette convertible is a very original example of the C3
model. The Corvette is show quality and has been judged at multiple
NCRS events - it received a Top-Flight Award in 2021 with a
composite score of 96.8. The owner states that the odometer mileage
of 25,500 is correct and that all major components are numbers/date
code matching. Virtually everything is original except for the
battery, exhaust, belts, tires, brake hoses and calipers. The body
has been meticulously maintained and the factory Bridgehampton Blue
(code 979) finish is in good condition. As is common with
fiberglass bodies, older finishes tend to develop fine
'spider-webbing' and that is the case here with this original
finish - it speaks of character. Chrome bumpers and accent pieces
are in outstanding condition. This roadster was optioned with a
rare removable factory hardtop and the original white soft top is
in good condition. The original Dark Blue (code 412) vinyl interior
is also in very good condition - upholstery, dashboard, door cards
and carpeting all present well. All factory gauges function well,
including the ticking clock, and tunes are provided by the original
AM/FM sound system.
The entire drivetrain of this C3 is matching numbers. Horsepower is
furnished by the 350ci L48 base engine that has never required a
rebuild. It was rated at 270hp with 8.5:1 compression and is fitted
with factory components including cast iron intake, Rochester
Quadrajet 4V carburetor, distributor w/tach drive, chrome
shielding, rams-horn exhaust manifolds. (The '71 L48 was not
factory equipped with a smog pump.) This small-block is backed by a
4-speed manual transmission w/factory shifter and posi-traction
differential w/3.36:1 gearing. The clean, solid chassis has power
steering, power 4-piston caliper disc brakes, upgraded shocks. and
a new exhaust system. BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires are mounted on
correct 15x8" GM rally wheels w/centers and trim rings. If you are
looking for a C3 roadster in virtually original condition, come
take a look at this handsome Bridgehampton Blue beauty - you will
not be disappointed. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
