What we have here is a very nicely appointed non numbers matching 1971 LT1 Corvette. The original motor was scattered on I-294 sometime in the 80s on the way back from Road America by the previous owner. He owned the car from 1981 until I purchased it in 2006. Since I have owned the car it has received the following upgrades: New Paint and interior. New emblems and door handles. New tires. New brakes with new calipers, pads, and lines. Rebuilt E-brake. The motor was rebuilt by PER Performance in Joliet Illinois and has approximately 3,000 miles on it since being rebuilt. The rebuild includes, Marine block with 4 bolt mains, forged crank, rods, and pistons. An Edelbrock heads, cam, and intake combo advertised as a 430 horsepower package. Cam is around .525 lift with a nice lopey duration. Ignition is MSD Billet with a 6A box. Carb is a 650 Holley, square bore, double pump. Transmission is a standard unit M-21 close ratio with 3.70 gears in the rear. Hurst shifter. The car has aluminum coated headers and an exhaust that was built by a custom exhaust shop that tucks neatly against the floor. Flowmaster mufflers and stock tips complete it. The motor pic I posted doesn't do justice to the car. The motor can be viewed starting and running toward the end of the second video I posted which is a walk around of the car I posted for the previous owner.. The car is a great driver and needs nothing. I've been driving it since it was rebuilt with no hiccups for the last 5 years in good weather only. It hasn't seen rain or snow for the time I've owned it. Always garage kept, under a cover in the winters. The car has T-tops and the back window pops out creating a truly satisfying driving experience. The car can be viewed at my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYmTUJtl2EM and here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x6lvmLNCrU Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
