Correct factory colors inside & out, plenty of nice options, and an overall beautiful presentation make this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette convertible the affordable classic that's easy to love.There's something great about the early C3 design. It combines the long and low American look with the Kamm-back styling of the Europeans. This car appears to have been well maintained throughout its life, with the fiberglass panels fitting nicely to hug the body's every curve snugly. The code 973 Mille Miglia Red is the factory correct color that was professionally resprayed, so it looks crisp and sharp today. There's even been a big block hood added for extra distinction. These earlier C3s are also for the brightwork lovers, and so the thin bumpers, bright grille, rocker panels, and optional luggage rack come together to add to this vintage shine package. And of course, no classic Chevy sports car looks complete without the iconic Rally wheels.This car has a cool split personality. After all, the newer white top looks great and pristine, but when you fold it down, this 'Vette shows off a more aggressive black interior. The rich darkness of the bucket seats, door panels, and carpeting allow the silver accents to pop on everything from three-spoke steering wheel to the gearshift. For the driver the essential gauges in front of you with a full auxiliary readout package prominently to the side, including a working clock. And while you favorite cool breezes will be generated by the wind whipping through the cabin at speed, there are provisions for factory air conditioning.Corvettes are not only about the drive, but also making sure you arrive in style, too. That's why when you lift the hood, you can see this car is the total package. The engine bay is nicely detailed with a crisp and clean presentation. With all the components in top condition and the belts & hoses looking so tidy, there's nothing to get in the way of seeing the shine on the air cleaner, distributor shield, valve covers, and other polished pieces. But the beyond the immaculate appearance lies the trusty 350 cubic-inch V8 heart that makes these Chevys famous. It inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor and exhales with authority thanks to the dual exhaust so the full power package is exactly what you expect from a classic Corvette. This car was made for taking the long way home, and components like the fully independent sports suspension, power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes prove it.You know you can't resist a factory-correct bright red vintage Corvette convertible. And at this price, why should you? So hurry before this deal ends up in your neighbor's garage instead. Call today!!!
