1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 4-Speed

Description

Four model years after a major redesign, the aerodynamic C3 Corvette was as beautiful as ever.

The 1971 model wore a 182-inch, Coke bottle-shaped body that followed the classic long hood/short deck sports car design. And it showed off flared, rounded fenders, a prominent flying buttress roofline flowing into a decklid spoiler, and just the right amount of brightwork on the bumpers, grilles, and — since 1970 — egg crate-style side louvers. In short, the long C3 was both very unique and incredibly sultry.

And as it was equipped with a steel ladder frame, fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a 270-horsepower 350ci V8 backed by four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, the lightweight Corvette was also sturdy, agile, and impressively quick when new.

This example is a numbers-matching, factory stock Coupe. It is finished in Mulsanne Blue with blue vinyl upholstery, rides on 15” Rally wheels, and is powered by a 350ci V8 backed by a four-speed manual transmission.

This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is now offered with owner’s manuals, T-top storage bags, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller's name.
