This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is powered by a numbers-matching 454ci V8 equipped with Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and paired with a replacement 4L60E four-speed automatic and a 3.73 Positraction differential. The car is finished in red over a black interior and underwent a body-off refurbishment in 2009. Features include Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, air conditioning, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, body-colored removable roof panels, a cowl hood, 17” Rally-style wheels, Van Steel adjustable coilovers, side exhaust pipes, and pop-up headlights.
Factory finished in Mille Miglia Red (973), the fiberglass bodywork was removed from the frame and repainted during the 2009 refurbishment. Features include body-colored removable roof panels, Doug’s side exhaust pipes, and a cowl hood with 454-badging.
The 17” Rally-style wheels feature chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 285/40 Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel discs, and the car rides on adjustable Van Steel coilovers.
The cabin houses black leather bucket seats that were reportedly reupholstered in 2019, as well as a matching dashboard, door panels, and replacement loop carpets protected by Corvette-branded floor mats. Electric windows were added in 2019, and additional amenities include air conditioning, a Delco AM/FM radio, and power steering.
A replacement three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. Auxiliary instrumentation in the center stack includes an analog clock and displays for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and battery charge. The five-digit odometer shows just over 30k miles.
The 454ci V8 has reportedly been bored .030″ over and features Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system, an upgraded camshaft, a DeWitts aluminum radiator with electric fans, and a chrome air cleaner cover and valve covers. The seller notes a recent oil change.
Engine suffix code CPJ indicates a 454ci LS5 V8 with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor in conjunction with an automatic transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Silver Sport Transmissions 4L60E four-speed automatic gearbox with overdrive and a Positraction differential with 3.73:1 gearing.
