Chevrolet Corvette (1971)
for sale

Price: US $44,000.00

Description:

When it comes to historians and purists, Corvette people are some of the most difficult to please. They’re a very loyal group which wholeheartedly believes that a lightweight, dramatically styled body behind a high performance, overhead valve V8 is the end all/be all of performance. And since that mindset has produced 63 years of spectacular looking cars, which handily eat the lunch of more expensive exotics from all over the world, it’s hard to fault their logic. Looking for a pedigreed classic that’s storied, cool and still relatively affordable?

BODYWORK/TRIM
Hailing from GM’s shuttered St. Louis assembly plant, this solid C3 is the beneficiary of a correct respray in Steel Cities Grey. The paint and trim is in excellent condition with little of no blemishes and visible damage. All the pieces are correct and in place
ENGINE
Tilt the car’s hood and you’ll find an original, 350 cubic inch V8 that hangs a correct casting number behind a correct “CGZ” assembly stamp and matching partial VIN. At the top of the Chevy Orange mill, a correct Holley carburetor rides between a polished and decaled air cleaner and bright, stainless fluid lines. Below that carburetor, a familiar Winters intake funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture in to beefy, cast iron heads, which wear finned Corvette valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders, a correct transistor ignition system sparks fresh, stainless-sleeved wires while a solid lifter rotating assembly pushes spent gases through bolt-on headers. And overall, this Chevy’s tidy engine compartment is exceptionally well done
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Peer under this low-slung roadster and you’ll find a pristine chassis that’s straight, solid and ready for its close-up. The car’s original small block twists torque through a familiar Turbo Hyrda-Matic, which makes good use of a tough posi-traction rear end that’s fitted with correct 308 gears. Beneath that drivetrain, a fully rebuilt suspension combines optional power steering with tight turns and increased grip. In the middle of the car, an aluminized, true-dual exhaust system pipes spent gases through rear-mounted mufflers and polished stainless tips. At the corners of the car, power-assisted discs ensure quick, drama-free stops. And all that fully sorted hardware rolls on handsome rally wheels, which spin recent 215/70R15 BF Goodrichs around dent-free trim rings and turbine center caps.
INTERIOR
Open this Corvette’s sculpted doors and you’ll find a correct black interior that appears to have been recently refreshed. At the center of that interior, fresh bucket seats suspend tight covers over correct seatbelts and bright stainless trim. Between those seats, a small console centers a traditional chrome shifter amid clean, color-keyed floor mats. Opposite that console, fade-free side panels point stainless handles at the base of a crack-free dash. And that dash, which features fully rebuilt telemetry, frames a satin-spoke steering wheel and correct pushbutton radio
