1971 Chevrolet Corvette

1971 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 convertible. Original matching numbers. 100,600 miles though those miles were put on many years ago. It has gone no where but for a Sunday cruise or show for many years. Body: Mille Miglia red with black interior and white soft top. Car was extensively worked on very recently for a year in a restoration shop. It was greatly taken apart and repainted in the original period laquer finish with the LT1 logo painted on. All functions work except for the radio as the speakers sound shot and the oil gauge is lazy. Mechanics: When in the body shop it finished off with a replacing of all the front suspension bushings, a 4 wheel alignment after the rear hubs were taken apart, checked and re greased. Brakes are replaced with calipers with stainless pots and stainless brake lines. Exhaust: A new set of stainless exhaust were installed with long headers. Do not have the original exhaust manifolds. Motor: The motor was recently rebuilt and improved. It was confirmed to be the original LT1 engine with solid lifters, high profile intake manifold, Holley Carb of correct date and type for the car and flat top pistons. The engine was rebored a bit, a radius valve job was performed along with installing hardened valve seats and the compression rating was increased with dome top forged pistons. It runs on hi test gas. Cam was 'cam doctored' and it is a huge cam that is correct for the engine in its era. It has been dynode at 387 hp before the headers were installed and should be about 400 hp now. It is very powerful. It is running off a regular distributor with an under cap Pertonix. I do have some parts for the old electric ignition but it is essentially gone. Transmission: It is correct for the car and I have never touched it except for maintenance and neither did the fellow who owned it for 10 years before me. Numbers match and it performs perfectly. A new clutch was installed which is a street clutch but still pretty 'for real'. Rear End: Currently runniTrim: ConvertibleDoors: 2
