Rare are the collector cars untouched by time or restorersandmdash;cars that still wear their original parts, paint, upholstery and trim. Itandrsquo;s their rarity and significance which make these cars stand out at collector-car auctions around the world and explains the high prices they command and the pride in ownership, which accompanies these cars. These cars are paid special attention at the most prestigious automobile shows, such as the Pebble Beach Concours dandrsquo;Elegance, Meadow Brook Concours dandrsquo;Elegence, Amelia Island Concours dandrsquo;Elegence, Antique Automobile Club of America Shows, Bloomington Gold, and Mopar Nationals.

There have been many great Corvettes built over the years; but, for those who share Zora Arkus Duntovandrsquo;s vision of the Corvette as world class sports car, there is none better then the 1970 - 1972 LT-1 Corvettes. These are the Corvettes which offers big block acceleration without compromising small block balance and handling prowess. With a high winding small block 350ci engine cranking out 330hp and 360ft lbs of torque @ 4000 rpm and a M21 close ratio 4-Speed manual transmission to run through the gears, the 1971 LT-1 can zoom all the way up to 6,500rpm with neck snapping acceleration and take the corners with the best European sports cars. There are Corvettes and there are special Corvettes. The C3 LT1 Corvettes clearly are among the very special Corvettes.

To achieve itandrsquo;s legendary performance, the 1971 LT-1 used some of the best internal engine parts GM ever made. A solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, 9:1 compression ratio, impact extruded pistons, high-lift camshaft, low restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel 780 cfm Holley carburetor, and finned aluminum valve covers. Mated with the required Muncie 4-Speed, these mechanical gems produced sounds and a driving experience never to be experienced again in a production car.

This 1971 Steel Cities Gray LT1 Corvette Convertible is truly an investment grade collectible automobile. Nicely optioned with an auxiliary black vinyl hardtop, PS,PB,PW, AM/FM radio, and Tilt/Tele steering column, the car is documented with its original Window Sticker and Corvette Order Copy (tank sheet). Having the rare distinction of achieving both the NCRS Duntov Award of Excellence and the NCRS 5 Star Bowtie Award of Preservation puts this Corvette in a very small elite class of extremely well preserved original Corvettes. There are only a handful of Corvettes which have been so recognized. For the discriminating automobile collector who desires the best of the best and will settle for no less, here is an opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding high performance Corvette, which can not be duplicated.
