1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

This is a triple-black 1971 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, so of course, it commands your attention. And not only were the colors upgraded, but there were also investments in the suspension and a 390-horsepower performance crate motor. So it's the ideal power drop-top that you can even enjoy in A/C comfort.

You can always tell when a car has been treated with respect. The panels on this one retain the crisp look that made you instantly fall in love/lust with the Stingray, and the doors of this convertible shut with authority. Plus, the brightwork is gorgeous. It shines to highlight the shark-like front end, trim of the upgrade wheels, and artful two-piece rear bumper. Corvette people know that the factory didn't offer black in '71. But this one was given an upgrade with a slippery application. And the red pinstripe on the upgraded LT-1 style hood was cleared in to make sure this added distinction had a smooth and sturdy style like the rest of this convertible.

The black folding roof looks great, and so does the full black interior. So not only does this look great with the top up or down, but also you get the ultra-desirable triple-black (exterior, interior, and roof) that everyone WISHED they could have had in 1971. The rich darkness of the bucket seats, door panels, and carpeting allow the accents to pop on everything from wood-like door inserts to the three-spoke steering wheel. For the driver the essential gauges in front of you with a full auxiliary readout package prominently to the side. This is the kind of classic that will make you want to get out and drive, so you get the right features for all-day motoring. The seats are finished in supple leather; there's a tilt/telescopic steering column; shoulder seatbelts; the classic Delco AM/FM provides driving music; and you can stay cool with the top down thanks to factory air conditioning.

Lift the hood and see an engine bay filled with fresher power. This is a 355 cubic-inch V8 built by the masters at BluePrint and installed in 2016. This has the best power pieces, like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, aluminum heads, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. This one loves to be a driver, and so you have solid upgrades like a large aluminum radiator, newer rear bushings, a newer rear composite leaf spring, and a set of new ball joints installed earlier this year. So you have a powerful and confident driving package. And features like a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and a fully independent sports suspension make it an exceptional classic for anytime driving.

The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, owner's manual, maintenance records, build receipts, restoration photos, and a dyno sheet proving how this is a big power Stingray. So don't let this special triple-black drop-top slip away. Call today!!!
