1971 Corvette Big Block Coupe

Recently found in a climate controlled garage where it had been
stored for over ten years, this 1971 Corvette was one of a small
collection left to a widow. There was no documentation to be
found but a thorough, expert inspection revealed no rust issues
or evidence of collision damage repair.
The paint and interior appear to be original with normal wear
for a low mileage survivor (showing just over 36K miles). The
automatic transmission looks new and appears to have been
replaced at some point. The engine stamping numbers are correct
for the 454/365hp. This ‘71 has a rare combination of options.
