GORGEOUS 1971 CORVETTE STINGRAY 350 / 4-SPEED. It is in it's factory Mulsanne Blue Paint with Blue Interior. The car came with power brakes, power steering, tilt / telescopic wheel. This car went through a very complete restoration over a 4 year span that came out fantastic. It has 2 notebooks of receipts of $25,000, plus a lot of labor and the cost of the car. I am the 3rd owner, Type A personality and have taken meticulous care of the car. Since the restoration it has been used sparingly and have put only 800 miles on it in the past 4 years.
Paint / Body - The Muslanne Paint is almost perfect. Not a scratch, chip or stone chip. It is near perfect and cost $6000. It is a base / clear coat paint job. The paint is smooth as ice to the hand, the gaps line up very nicely and the original front and rear bumpers were re-chromed. The 15 inch wheels are beautiful and tires are like new. New front grills and the original lenses look great. All new emblems and gaskets. Both pop up lights and wiper door work properly. New T-Top weather stripping. I wish there was a defect I could tell you about the body and paint however I cannot. Super High Quality Driver Show Car.
Interior - The dark blue interior looks great! New carpet, Original dash looks great, new console shift plate, new door panels, new headliner, excellent original console, excellent original seats and working seat belts both harness and lap, new storage boxes, excellent gauges all working, excellent heater controls, after market factory fit Corvette stereo, vent controls work fine, lower fiber optics work fine, top fiber optics work when they want. New dash bezel and again all the gauges work great and look super. It has the Original 1971 original bucket seatsthat look wonderful with no rips tears or stains. No need to replace them and I like keeping that piece of the originality of the car. All the glass is original except the windshield and looks great. The side windows are the original "Astro Vents' and the rear window is the original and removable if you wish when you have the T-Tops are off. All interior lights work and all dash likes work such as the brake light and door ajar. New T-Top inserts and weather stripping and new seat back inserts. Has T-Top covers. The interior looks crisp, clean and smells great with everything working except the inconsistent upper fiber optics. I have 2 sets of floor mats for the car. the correct 1971 rubber mats and a set of blue embroidered Corvette Mats for show.
Mechanicals - This is an extremely correct carexcept the original engine. has a much better, fully rebuilt 350 with the original M-20 Muncie 4 speed tranny that was rebuilt as well. Has a newHurst Shifter. Again it has the correct color codes and options. The engine bay is super detailed with the original valve covers. It has new leaf springs, links and bushings. complete new suspension bushing kit and parts in both front and rear. Allnew stainless steelbrakes, 4 wheel power disc brakes with a new brake booster.

Summary - this Corvette Stingray is a very solid, straight, mechanicallysound and drives great. The paint is beautiful with great gaps. It is a very correct car and detailed to the hilt. The undercarriage is as clean as the top of the car.I even polished thestainless steel exhaust. I have meticulously babied, pampered and detailed every inch of this car from top to bottom and ensured every mechanical aspect of it is working perfect. Again, it drives great, is tight, no rattles anddrives straight down the road as smooth as silk. It is a true pleasure to drive. I highly encourage you to come view the car and drive it if the weather permits or a have a 3rd party inspection. I have zero to hide and have described this car honestly and accurately.Nothing feels better than driving this corvette and taking it through the 4 speed transmission. Have a car cover that can go with the car. The car is garaged with a trickle charger on it and will start with ease. I am asking $26,000 or will entertain any reasonable offers. No need to play hide and seek with a reserve. Let's just get it all out there.
I will not pay toward shipping, however will help in anyway both nationally and internationally. This car is sold "as is" since it is 46 years old however looks brand new in everyway. you get 2 sets of keys, a clear title and 2 full notebooks of all the receipts with the original 1971 owners manual and brochure. I want a $500 deposit. If the car is not everything I said it was you may have your refund back in full. If you are local there is no need for a deposit as you would come and see it unless you wish me to end the auction so no one can hit the but it now. Once it leaves my drive way it is your baby.
