Vehicle Description
A very cool and very custom 1971 Chevrolet Corvette is already an
alluring proposition. So when we tell you there's a 590+ hp
screaming LS6 big block under the hood, and you control it with an
M21 four-speed, then you know just how well this one will dominate
everything from car shows to the backstreets.
This Stingray started out life as a blue-on-blue car, but there
never was anything as wild as this from the factory. The shine from
this dark metallic hue looks like you're staring into the ocean at
night. It has enough clearcoat luster to highlight all those famous
curves that we love on the C3. And have you checked out the rear?
Baldwin-Motion lovers will recognize that blue-gray striping
package on the back as a tribute to one of the best bow-tie
performance builders around. But you also know the aggression on
this car goes well beyond the great paint on a slick body. The
L88-style big block hood, dark side pipes, and wide 15-inch alloys
covered by larger fender flares � it's all part of a major
street-eating package.
You could get a blue interior from Chevrolet in '71, but just like
the exterior, you can instantly tell there has been a ton of custom
work here. After all, the best way we can describe the color
outlining the bucket seats is "electric blue." It's part of an
exceptionally tidy total package that utilizes both the bold blue,
and deep black, for an almost two-tone appearance. This is a good
thing, because there will be plenty of people checking out the
inside of this T-top as you go for a bit of wind-in-your-hair
cruising. In fact, you'll be able to enjoy plenty of time in the
driver's seat thanks to comfortable features such as the
three-spoke tilt wheel, full gauge package, Hurst 50th anniversary
shifter, upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo, power windows, and power
steering.
But, what you really want to know about is what's going on under
the hood! The whole engine bay looks like its overflowing with big
block power thanks to a true LS6 that has been given a full
performance build. The legendary, and probably most desirable, 454
cubic-inch monster has a full hydraulic roller setup with
components from Comp Cams, Crane, and Ferrea Racing. There's also
Sealed Power forged pistons, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and
so much more. In fact, there are too many components to list (call
for all the details.) But just know it makes 592 hp. And you don't
have to carry the included dyno sheet to prove all this power,
because the header-fed side pipes makes the kind of thunder that
will easily scare off the lessor cars out there. Best of all, you
are in complete control of this V8's fury and booming soundtrack
thanks to the Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual
transmission. And while this Stingray is truly a beast, you'll have
no trouble taming it thanks to the Corvette's fully independent
sports suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and extra wide BF
Goodrich T/A radials.
You get a huge file full of receipts and details that went into
this restoration. It lets you know there was plenty of thought that
went into a very mean machine. So when you realize the new king of
the streets is up for sale, you better hurry and grab it. Call
now!!
