Vehicle Specification
Vehicle Detail
The 1971 Corvette was the fourth production year of the 1968 - 1982 "C3" generation. It was one of the least changed models from one year to the next.
This car is an excellent candidate for a restoration.
The period correct 350 engine (NOM) was rebuilt in 2009, has headers and is mated to a 400 automatic. The air conditioning was removed during the engine swap.
The car runs well but has a minor transmission leak.
The body – needs paint (see photos for dings and scrapes) and there is some body filler at the bottom of the driver’s door. The hood has a mark from an aftermarket air cleaner mounting stud. See the photos for the rust / holes at the driver’s door. The rubber window gaskets are missing. The T-top and rear window are removable. The headlight doors and wiper doors both function but the wipers don’t.
The interior- the color on the seat backs is worn, the rugs need replacement and the dash gauges don’t work (except the alternator). There are aftermarket gauges (oil & water temp) installed and a Sony X-plod stereo with remote.
We do not have any maintenance records for the car or receipts for the previous owner’s engine rebuild. The car comes with the owner’s manual, assembly manual and leather T top bag.
Bills Auto Sales US is a licensed auto dealership located in Culpeper VA. We
are the sales outlet for a private collector offering unique automobiles from
his personal collection. We DO NOT offer financing or accept trades.
We have an active showroom so all cars are subject to prior sale. We reserve the right to end this listing at anytime should the vehicle no longer be available for sale.
Our cars are not driven regularly but are repositioned on our lot as needed. They are stored battery out, with fuel stabilizer. Our cars start, run and drive, unless noted otherwise. This does not mean they are ready for long trips. We recommend a full mechanical inspection before taking them on the road.
We do our best to describe our vehicles accurately and include numerous photographs but small defects don't always show in pictures. Any known or visible defects at the time of listing will be stated in the vehicle description. Classic and vintage vehicles usually will require sorting out. Please do your research before bidding as all of our cars are sold “as is”.
We welcome you having an independent inspection BEFORE buying but not
after the auction closes. Inspection at the time of pick up and attempts at subsequent renegotiation will not be permitted and will be cause for forfeiture of the deposit.
All cars are sold “where is” from our location in Culpeper VA. Transportation
is the responsibility of the buyer. We use Eclipse Auto Transport for all of our transport needs and suggest you contact them at 800-496-0881 for a competitive quote. We DO NOT provide shipping estimates, contact Eclipse or use the eBay resources.
A PayPal deposit of $500 is required 24 hours after the auction closes.
You must have PayPal and want to use it. Payment in full is required in 3 days. We will open unpaid claims with eBay if PayPal deposits are not received on time.
If you are new to eBay and have zero feedback, please contact us before bidding. We reserve the right to cancel the bids of individuals with negative or no bid history.
Please be aware of “spoofing”, someone posing as billsautosalesus offering to sell our cars at a much lower price. We never make second chance offers via email and only use eBay messaging. If in doubt, please contact spoof@ebay.com to verify a second chance offer.
A NOTE ON PRICING OF OUR VEHICLES
There are many factors that affect the price we set for our vehicles. Since we represent a collector and are not a traditional dealership, we do not have the pressure of bank financing compelling us to sell our vehicles at a certain price or by a certain date.
We frequently get calls requesting (sometimes demanding) our “rock bottom” price. We do not expect you to start the negotiation by offering us the highest amount you are willing to pay. So, we do not start our auctions by disclosing the lowest we are willing to accept. eBay has resolved this problem by allowing us to confidentially provide them with the lowest price we will accept(RESERVE). eBay allows you to confidentially provide the highest amount you are willing to spend (MAXIMUM BID). By using the AUTOMATIC BIDDING feature, eBay will bid for you in small increments ($25,50,100) keeping you as the highest bid until you win, reach your maximum or the auction ends with the car not sold.
Bill’s Auto Sales US will gladly discuss pricing with serious buyers, meaning individuals that have placed a bid. We will typically contact our bidder’s list first, if a car goes unsold.
We hope you can understand why we won’t be able to respond to every call or email that wants “the best price”.
