Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for purchase. While C3 Corvettes are not rare, nothing beats an early stingray with chrome bumpers, t-tops, bold lines, nimble handling, and plenty of power. There are stylish and really fun to drive all in one low riding package that is never going to go out of style. The stingray is the very successful 3rd generation Corvette that stood at the top of the muscle car heap before government regulations. Also with government restrictions, 1972 was the last model year to see both chrome bumpers causing the earlier stingrays to be more sought after.
New for 1970 was the LT-1, a 350 cu in (5.7 L) small-block V8 engine delivering a factory rated 370 hp (276 kW). It was a solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, 11:1 compression ratio, impact extruded pistons, high-lift camshaft, low-restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel carburetor, and finned aluminum rocker covers. The new engine, making up less than 8% of production, could not be ordered with air conditioning but was fitted with a domed hood adorned with "LT-1" decals.
This 1971 LT1 Convertible is about as desirable as stingrays get looking beautiful in Mille Miglia Red. Powered by the LT1 350 V8 paired with the fun to drive and desirable 4-speed manual transmission. It features a high level of originality with documentation including a coveted NCRS Top Flight award winner in 2009. This convertible is one of the top-level most desired stingrays as C3's don't get any better than what you see before. The condition inside and out with the investment in the current state is incredible. This will make a very happy buyer out there! Please call or email for more details!
