1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

1971 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster 454 Big Block Numbers Matching Convertible 454 unrestored classic American sports car
This Corvette has the genuine classic looks and is real head turner where ever it goes. They are only original once. Keep that in mind as you examine this GM time capsule, originally built in May 1971. There are a lot of C-3 Corvettes, there are a few 454 cars, there are even fewer that are numbers matching, stem to stern (engine, transmission and rear end), there are even fewer automatics and the rarest of the rare are the un-restored cars that are still in good driver condition. This is one of those cars. This Big Block 1971 Chevrolet Corvette is a blue chip investment grade fantastic example of the C3. It is beautiful, unrestored and a believed all original car.
From a private, four car collection, it is located in Saratoga Springs, NY and priced to sell.
This is my personal vehicle with a clean transferable title in my name.
Temperature control garaged, covered and well cared for.
Buy with confidence, I've been selling/buying on eBay for over two decades with immaculate feedback.

Interior

The original AM/FM radio still picks up all the best classic rock and country stations. Three-spoke telescopic and tilt steering wheel. The tachometer, water temperature, oil pressure and battery gauges operate. The ignition sometimes does not turn the first time you attempt to start the car, it might need a new key cut. The speedometer needs a new cable. The drivers side door handle requires repairs. The clock in the dash does not operate.

Battery (behind the driver) has kill switch that is great for storage and car shows, leaving no worries of battery dying.
The fiber optics still work.
