1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Description

This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray hits all the high notes: a matching-numbers V8, four-speed manual transmission, factory A/C, and a convertible top for plenty of wind-in-your-hair fun. And if you're a true Corvette purist, you're going to love looking under the hood of this ultra-low miles 'Vette.

Maroon is the perfect color for the right sort of vintage 'Vette buyer. It keeps the same attention grabbing attitude of the red cars that the Corvette community loves, but the darker finish gives it a level of sophistication that makes this Stingray easy to park next to European classics, too. Many enthusiasts prefer the clean, unadorned look of the early Stingray design, with its chrome shark-nosed front and chopped-off Kamm-back. And when the fiberglass looks this good, people really pick up on the sleek lines that make the C3 an icon.

This car's fastidious care throughout its life is most evident inside, where black interior remains in excellent condition. There are no split seams, no scuffs, and certainly no sun damage, despite the open air of the convertible top. The black carpets are similarly excellent, and the door panels match the seats with their factory fresh appearance. Other goodies include factory air conditioning, a tilt/telescope steering column, the original AM/FM radio, and the full gauge package neatly centered in the dash. Overhead, there's a black convertible top that fits right, and the car includes a nice removable hardtop, too, for those days when you feel like cruising in a coupe.

Power comes from the original, matching-numbers 350 cubic inch V8, which delivers an advertised 270 horsepower. Not only does that provide this Stingray with plenty of muscle to rocket around with authority, but also its four-speed manual transmission will make sure you can squeeze out every last bit of horsepower when you need it. Plus, the dual exhaust will really let you enjoy the great sounds that happen when you stay in the powerband. But there's more to this motor than just brute force. This car has less than 23,500 miles on the odometer, and you can really see this in the engine bay. Many of the original stickers are still attached to the motor and accessories. It's that nice kind of touch that makes people linger a bit longer at car shows. Then again, this car might not even make it to any competitions because you'll be too busy enjoying the backroads thanks to power steering, four wheel disc brakes, and grippy Goodyear Eagle GT tires on the 15-inch rally wheels.

This is a beautiful C3 convertible that has averaged less than 535 miles a year in its lifetime (it even comes with title documentation to back this up.) This one is for someone ready to get attention from the Corvette circles. Call today!!
