Dont look nowand#44; but ultra-clean C3 Corvettes are gaining some momentum in the marketplace. If youve been looking for an investment you can driveand#44; look no further than this handsome 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray coupeand#44; which has been recently overhauled and offers a ton of options for not a lot of cash. Repainted a few years agoand#44; this stunning code 905 Nevada Silver Corvette still looks fantastic. Clearly the work was well doneand#44; as it shows none of the usual Corvette issuesand#44; and instead presents as a car that has always been treated as something special. Gaps are good all aroundand#44; there are no stress cracks around the headlight doorsand#44; and the chrome front and rear bumpers are a look that appeal to Corvette fans of all ages. Silver is a nice change from all the red and black C3s youre likely to see out thereand#44; and combined with the black interiorand#44; really has a grand touring feel more than that of a raw muscle car. A rear-mounted luggage rack adds storage space as well as some visual interestand#44; and those quad taillights are a Corvette tradition dating back to 1963. We have to admit that this is a car we stop and admire every time we walk past it in the showroomand#44; mostly because it doesnt seem to be trying too hard. Insideand#44; this Corvette feels quite newand#44; thanks to fresh seat covers with new foam underneathand#44; new deluxe door panels with woodgrained insertsand#44; and new carpets underfoot. Youll also note this one is nicely loaded up with optionsand#44; including power windowsand#44; factory A/Cand#44; and a tilt wheeland#44; so its not your typical stripped-down Vetteand#44; but more like a car you can drive to work every day. The original gauges remain in great conditionand#44; including the factory tachometer and auxiliary gauges in the center stackand#44; and the three-spoke steering wheel will look familiar to anyone who loves Chevy muscle. A later AM/FM/cassette stereo head unit has been fitted in the dash and sounds great with a sound bar neatly installed behind the seats. This Corvette is all about hitting the road. Power comes from the originaland#44; numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8. Its neatly finished with lots of correct partsand#44; including the twin-snorkel air cleaner with a chrome lid and original decaland#44; finned valve coversand#44; and the proper ignition shield. Theres a 4-barrel carburetor to help build power as welland#44; plus a recent master cylinderand#44; alternatorand#44; and tune-up parts. Underneathand#44; youll find a stout TH400 3-speed automatic transmission spinning the original rear endand#44; as well as a set of long-tube headers feeding a fresh dual exhaust system that sounds suitably forceful to be appropriate on a Corvette. Its quite tidy underneathand#44; and while Corvette floors dont rustand#44; the frames canand#44; and this car shows off a lifetime someplace warm and dry. Newer white-letter radials on the original 15-inch Rally wheels look great and really fill the wheel wells properly. Built to driveand#44; but destined to appreciateand#44; this is a Corvette that you can enjoy without worries and maybe make a few bucks on it when the time comes to sell.
