This 1971 Corvette Stingray Convertible is an exceptional example of the classic chrome bumper C3, boasting its original high-performance LT1 350ci/330hp V8 engine, a Muncie close-ratio 4-speed transmission, and a stunning color combination of Brands Hatch Green with a Saddle interior. With just 54,755 original miles, this numbers-matching beauty offers an excellent blend of originality and drivability, making it a highly collectible and enjoyable classic.
The exterior is finished in its factory-correct Brands Hatch Green with a glossy, smooth shine. The rally wheels, complete with original 4-clip style beauty rings, and BF Goodrich Radial TA tires enhance its vintage appeal. The chrome trim shines brilliantly, while the convertible top remains in good condition, showing minimal wear.
The interior, finished in Saddle vinyl, is in outstanding condition with seats, carpets, and dash panels that reflect meticulous care. The original AM/FM stereo works flawlessly, and the interior has never been modified, preserving the authenticity of this classic.
Mechanically, the LT1 engine runs smoothly, delivering plenty of power, and the Muncie transmission shifts crisply through all gears. The car features a fully functional vacuum system, operating the headlights and wiper door as intended. This Corvette drives beautifully, with responsive brakes and a tight clutch, making it a pleasure to enjoy on the open road.
