This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is finished in Mille Miglia Red over matching vinyl upholstery and is powered by a numbers-matching 350ci LT-1 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction differential. Equipment includes power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, a Corvette-branded radio, and a white convertible top. The car was built in St. Louis, Missouri, in March 1971 and originally delivered to Aero Chevrolet in Alexandria, Virginia, and it reportedly remained with its original owner until its recent acquisition by the seller. Subsequent work included repair of the tachometer and replacement of the differential mount, vacuum valves, and front brake pads.
The fiberglass body is finished in Mille Miglia Red (973) and features pop-up headlights, chrome split rear bumpers, rectangular dual exhaust outlets, and LT-1 hood graphics and badging.
Rally wheels retain chrome rings and hub covers and are wrapped in 15″ Bridgestone Turanza white-stripe tires. The seller recently replaced the front brake pads.
The interior features bucket seats upholstered in red vinyl (407) with color-keyed treatments for the dashboard, console, and carpeting. Features include a tilting and telescoping steering column, red seat belts, and a Corvette-branded radio housed within the stock location.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer ahead of the driver, as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and battery charge that are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows under 84k miles.
The 350ci LT-1 V8 is topped with a single four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 330 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end equipped with 4.11:1 gearing. Maintenance completed in preparation for the sale is said to have included replacement of the differential mount and vacuum check valves. The seller notes the removed smog pump and diverter valve are included in the sale.
The last eight digits of the partial VIN stamp on the engine block match the final eight digits of the VIN plate on the windshield pillar, and the suffix code CGZ indicates a 330 horsepower 350ci LT-1 V8 for manual-transmission applications.
The 1971 sales invoice shows specifications and options and total price of $6,374. Further items include the Protect-O-Plate and GM-issued keys.
