Posted: 05/15/2021 Seen at: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324623667259?hash=item4b9514103b:g:y40AAOSwJiRgnsEc Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful completely numbers matching 1971 Big Block Corvette Stingray Convertible in absolutely fantastic condition and with the original high performance 454ci LS5 engine and only 49,470 original miles. This Stingray is verified as an authentic and original big block LS5 by the original tank sticker (build sheet) that is still with the car and pictured in this ad. The car is finished in the beautiful and highly desirable color combination of Monza Red (973) over Black Vinyl (403). This iconic color combination is highly desirable, truly striking, and looks great on this Corvette shark body style. This is also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag and the tank sticker. The car also comes with two tops, both the soft-top and a vinyl covered hardtop, which are both pictured in this ad. This Corvette is Numbers Matching and virtually every part we checked on the car is correct with the proper part numbers and appropriate date codes. We have run the numbers on literally hundreds of Corvettes over the years and there are very few that are so correct and original. Even very detailed parts like the carburetor, distributor, expansion tank, intake manifold, the exhaust manifolds, and even all the windows and glass are all correct and original. The last six digits of the VIN, 101716, are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured. We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable big block Corvette Stingray convertible at an unbeatable value. The big block and convertible body style draw a great premium over the standard small block and coupe body styles. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C3 chrome bumper Corvettes from 1968 to 1972 is absolutely red hot right now and on the rise. The low mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title which shows the mileage as Actual. Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information below to get a true sense of how nice this Corvette really is. As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call. Exterior The Monza Red exterior is in excellent condition. As one can see in the photos, the finish has dazzling gloss, smooth finish, and deep shine. The rally wheels and center caps are in fantastic condition with a brilliant finish and no curb rash. Please note that this car still has the original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the cheaper foreign made replacements. The BF Goodrich raised white letter tires are virtually brand new and are correctly sized 225/70R15. The chrome looks great as one can see in the photos. The soft top is in terrific condition with no rips, holes, or frayed edges. The rear window is clear and not foggy or yellowed. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There are a few tiny imperfections around car that were too faint to show up in pictures, but nothing else that is really noticeable from about five feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside this car is very clean underneath and has no rust issues. The frame is totally solid around the key hole area in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evidence of corrosion around the windshield or birdcage area, which is the most common spots for rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks. Window Date Codes Please note that ALL of the glass on this Corvette, both Astro Ventilation door windows and the windshield, are all date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date of September 4, 1973 (B04). Even the rear window on the hardtop is dated correctly. Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage. Interior The Black Leather interior of the Corvette is in outstanding condition. The seats are in excellent shape with no rips, split seams, or excessive wear. The seats are not overly worn in the typical area where the driver gets in and out. Please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is also in excellent condition with no stains, rips, or holes. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The original radio is still in the car, works well, and gets good reception. Most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for the installation. The door panels are in nice shape overall. The dash and console are in good shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes. Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the low original mileage. Mechanical This Corvette seems to be in good mechanical condition. The original numbers matching 454ci LS5 engine runs well and idles smooth. The car drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts well throughout the power band. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos. Even the original ignition shielding, air cleaner, valve covers, and ignition wires with the correct braded stainless steel shielding are all still in place. The original radio works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, dash lights, horn, and wipers all work. Even very detailed items such as the Door Ajar light, Seat Belt light, and the Head Lamp light on the dash to show that the headlights have risen properly all work properly. The blower for the heater works on all speeds. The entire vacuum system for the headlights and wiper door works correctly. Please note that the vacuum system works properly from both the respective switches on the dash and the override switches. The entire operation from both switches can be viewed in the video. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the power from the big block engine and the top down on a beautiful day. Overall Condition Overall, this 1971 LS5 454ci Corvette Stingray Convertible looks fantastic and is in excellent condition and truly an investment grade classic. The big block engine, very low original miles, beautiful color combination, excellent condition, and the great extent to which the numbers match make this Stingray especially important and very hard to duplicate. Numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing, especially for a rare and particularly desirable models like this LS5, and as one can see, this car is quite correct. There are photos of the VIN stamp on the engine block, suffix code, engine assembly date, transmission VIN stamp, and transmission date code. In my opinion and based on our experience the Chrome Bumper cars from 1968-1972 are the most collectible and hottest in the entire Corvette market right now. The big block and convertible Stingray models always draw a great premium over the standard counterparts. The value of these cars has gone up exponentially in recent years. They are all solid investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
