Selling a Real Numbers matching beautiful LT1 coupe Original Code 972 Classic White with Original Code 407 Red Vinyl Interior. Original Matching Numbers Solid Lifter 350/330hp LT-1 Engine, 4 Speed M21 Manual Transmission and 3.70 Posi Rear. The car retains its original Air Injection Reactor Emissions Control System including smog pump, smog lines and exhaust manifolds. Other Features include Power Steering, Power Brakes, Original AM/FM Radio, Alarm System, Seat Belts with Shoulder Belts. The car was repainted and has about 2000 miles since being repainted. The original chrome bumpers were re-chromed around the same time and are in excellent condition. The interior was completely redone shortly thereafter and looks basically brand new with a couple nice upgrades including leather seats and deluxe trim wood panel accents to the door panels. All gauges work (except the clock which works intermittently). The original AM/FM radio also works as do all interior lights including, Fiber Optics, etc. The headlights go up and down smoothly, wiper door opens and closes as it should. The frame, windshield pillars, radiator support etc are in excellent shape and without rust issues which can be a common problem with older C3 corvettes. I purchased this car from a previous owner in AZ, and believe it has spent most of its days in warm climate with salt free roads. The car runs and drives great and I don’t believe the engine has ever been out of the car. It’s a very nice original car that has been well maintained over the years. I have a large binder full of documents for work done to the car over the past decades including the repaint, re-chroming, interior etc as mentioned earlier. For those that are not familiar with verifying authenticity of an LT-1, here are some things to look for. These are things I verified when I purchased the car about 8 years ago and I tried to get pictures of as many of these as possible for the next potential buyer. Engine pad stamp with CGZ suffix indicating LT-1. Original broach marks intactAll LT-1's had A.I.R smog system, base cars did not (this car retains its original smog equipment) Hood w/ LT-1 emblem and striping, with no glassed over holes where 427/454 emblem would goNo A/C on 70 and 71 LT-1 cars6,500 red line tach Holley Carb. Aluminum intake 27" radiator, No overflow tank for radiator / no holes to mount onewith Holley carb350/330 HP shift data plateSingle fuel line (no return)M21 or M22 trans (this car has its original M21)Posi rear with 3.70 or higher gears Heavy duty caps w/ bolts on inboard universal joints at rear end.motor assemble date is close to car assembly date on the trim tag.T.I. ignition (holes are present in left wheel well) To change all of the above on a base car would cost thousands of dollars and likely more than what it would cost to just buy an LT-1. There were only 1,949 LT-1's made in 1971 and they are getting difficult to find in this condition with matching numbers. I hate to see the car go...i’m only selling to fund the purchase of an LT-1 convertible. Thanks for looking $2000 deposit with full payment due within 7 days please.
