1971 Corvette Coupe Features: 350/270hp (NOM) AutomaticPower SteeringPower BrakesFactory Air ConditioningShoulder Belt OptionStandard Tan Interior (original color) Warbonnet Yellow Paint (original color) The Good: Overall, this car is rock solid. There is no rust, radiator mount and bird cage in perfect shape. Car body was off the frame at some point in the recent past (according to previous owner, mid 2000's). Frame is fully painted and restored - looks amazing from the bottom. Front and rear suspension was rebuilt around this time. Exterior paint has some minor nicks and scratches, one bubble in the paint on the rear deck. Car is complete, nothing missing on the outside. Interior vinyl was re-dyed when the car was rebuilt. No tears/cracks in the interior. Glass all in good shape. Recently replaced rear window gasket, rebuilt power steering valve and pump. New ignition switch. New full exhaust system. New rear brake calipers. Newer carburetor. Replaced valve cover gaskets. Car has been garage kept since at least it was restored. I owned for 3.5 years (purchased ~April 2009) and previous owner bought from the person who restored it, has been a Texas car for the last 10+ years at least. Has an aftermarket am/fm tape with speakers in the back storage area - the dash was not modified. Car is fully inspected and registered, completely street worthy and wouldn't hesitate to drive anywhere. Longest I've driven it since I owned it was to Dallas and back from San Antonio - no problems, other than that I drive to work several times a month and out on the weekends. Bottom line - the car is ready to have fun, show, drive anywhere. Nice enough to get compliments everywhere you go, but not so expensive/perfect you don't want to drive it. The Bad: While car was restored in mid 2000's, it is showing a little age. The car has a few minor leaks including the transmission rear seal, valve cover gasket was leaking but I replaced last month. Minor occasional squeaks from the brakes. Car has some rattles, nothing out of the ordinary for a 41 yr old car. Left rear bumper isn't as shiny as the rest of the chrome. Under the hood, the carburetor is a newer Holley, which has an aftermarket air cleaner on top of it - not original. The ignition shielding is missing. Air conditioning has never worked since I owned it, but compressor/clutch is functional and system is fully hooked up and never been opened. I rarely drive with windows up so never felt the need to work on it. T-Tops leak water, but never has been in the rain. Interior carpet is showing its age, but no holes or problems - just showing age. Some of the vinyl dye is rubbing off in a few places (i.e. around the T-Top latches). The odometer does not work, speedo and all gauges work fine but no odometer. True mileage unknown. Included with the car are a box full of various screws, light bulbs, switches, books/catalogs, etc that I have purchased over the years, T-Top storage case and garage car cover. Car has clear Texas title. Payment must clear before I'll release the car/title. Cash/cashiers check/Paypal All in all, this car is perfect for most. Perfect weekend cruiser, nothing major to fix - just maintain it and enjoy as I have. The only reason I'm selling is I'm moving and can't take it along with me.
