Here for sale I have my 1971 Chevy Corvette Convertible. For starters this car has undergone a frame off restoration.
The engine is said to be the original engine however the end digit on the engine vin stamp is a 6 instead of a 5. That being said this engine was completely gone through with a Eagle Forged Crank, and Eagle Rods. It has a Lunati Cam. AFR Aluminum heads, Aluminum intake, and headers. This engine was made into a 383 stroker.
The Transmission is a TKO Tremec 5 speed. Having that extra gear to grab when on the highway has been phenomenal. This car truly cruises great down the road without being in high rpm ranges.
Suspension and bushings have been replaced with new and it rides as such.
Now we get to the color. It is a color called Carizzma blue pearl and the painter had 300 hours total of prep and time in the booth. It is a great looking paint job and a very sharp car. If you don’t like attention this would not be the car for you. Top edge by door handle has a chip taken out. I still have the piece and will be fixing that. Very minor.
The interior of the car is the main thing in need of a few buttoning up items. It needs the pull straps put on and the mirror. The radio is no longer there but it’s perfect for your ideas. The car has a new in the box vaccum kit for the headlights and will need that hooked up. Will need a new top. I have one that I’m including.
Overall this car has had a metric ton of work done to it. It’s still a semi project but it can and will put a smile on your face as is. Very fast fun car with a strong engine and trans. Clear title in hand. Paint tag was lost during the car getting painted.
