1971 Chevrolet Corvette in Shaker Heights, Ohio

Vehicle Description

“When you buy a Corvette, you buy a lot more than a car. You buy an image. A car that’s eager for the open road. A car with no compromises … a car whose form follows its function … Buy any other sports car and all you get is today’s car. Buy a Corvette and you get a piece of tomorrow.” These are the words with which Chevrolet lured buyers into its showrooms in 1971, eager to put excited drivers behind the wheel of its stunning Corvette.

This fully restored 1971 Corvette Stingray has been refinished in Mille Miglia Red. You’ll also appreciate its matching T-tops, which will afford you the choice of closed- or open-air driving. Its finish has a beautiful luster that is further accentuated by its chrome and brightwork which are in excellent condition. BF Goodrich raised white letter tires wrapped on Chrome Rallye wheels, and dual side pipes lend an air of sportiness.

The cockpit is equally sporty, featuring high-backed contoured bucket seats with integrated head restraints in Saddle vinyl. A full array of gauges will keep you informed about what’s going on under the hood. Its original interior is in excellent condition. You’ll also appreciate its optional tilt and telescopic steering wheel and AM/FM radio.

Powered by its original 270 horsepower 350 CID V-8, this Corvette has plenty of guts in the performance department! Its original engine has been driven less than 2,000 miles since being professionally rebuilt. The engine is mated to its original professionally rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Other updates include new shocks and springs, new brake calipers and pads, and stainless steel brake lines. Its optional power steering and power brakes will put you confidently in command of the road. Owned by its most recent owner since 2003 and regularly maintained, this gorgeous Corvette is ready to go!

One item of note is that minor imperfections in the finish do not detract from the overall appearance of this car. Included with sale are the owner’s manual, original T-top covers, and a brand-new set of T-top covers.

If a gorgeous C3 4-speed Corvette that is ready to go is what you desire, this is the Corvette for you!
