Car history:
Finding a Corvette you can drive and enjoy is sometimes easier said than done. So many have been cut, hacked, or just abused that finding a tight, clean, matching-numbers C3 can be daunting. But this Bridgehampton Blue 71 Stingray is the right car at the right price, including matching-numbers on the drivetrain and factory A/C. Restored about five years ago, this one shows only minor signs of being driven, which means that someone was absolutely fanatical about maintenance, because Corvettes are made to be driven. The bodywork was nicely done, not so perfect youre afraid to touch it, but nice enough to get a second or third envious glance from the guy next to you at the red light. Gaps are good all around, and if you prefer the chrome bumpers, the 71s are a great choice. Factory T-tops are the next best thing to a convertible youre going to find, and theyre a great choice if youre the kind of guy who likes to take his Corvette on long road tripsyou wont arrive at your destination feeling like you just went five rounds with Mike Tyson. And speaking of chrome, everything is nicely finished and polished, including the optional trunk rack on the back, which always looks cool. The matching blue interior appears to be largely original, and if it has been replaced, it has mellowed to show a nice, authentic patina. The seat covers offer textured inserts that are both grippy and comfortable if youre cruising in the sun, and the center console puts most of the secondary controls at your fingertips. The original gauges are fully functional save for the clock, which is a common problem in old cars. A newer AM/FM/cassette stereo has been fitted, but otherwise the controls are 100% factory. This car is interesting in that it has factory A/C but manual windows, surely an unusual combination. 1971 was also the final year for the cool fiber-optic light monitoring system in the center console. The original 350 cubic inch engine was rebuilt at the time the car was restored, and today runs as well as any small block Chevy weve featured. New Chevy Orange paint was applied to the block while it was apart, and finned valve covers give it a cool retro look thats pure Corvette. The engine bay is extremely clean, suggesting that this car has led a good life in a dry climate, and theres no sign of rust anywhere on the running gear. Cast iron rams horn exhaust manifolds are both durable and efficient, and feed a newer dual exhaust system that sounds just right for a cruiser like this. Power steering, power brakes, and an automatic transmission make this a car you can drive every day, and it roll on a set of original Rally wheels inside 225/70/15 Uniroyal radials. If youre looking for a comfortable, flashy Corvette to enjoy next summer, this is the one. Call today!
