| Posted 08/15/2020 Seen at:https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0117-269803/1971-chevrolet-corvette-ls6-coupe/ Lot S108 Believed to be 44,932 original miles Original LS6 454/425 HP engine 475 lb-ft torque 9.0:1 compression ratio 4-speed manual transmission Silver exterior Black interior 3.55:1 Positraction rear end T-tops Custom interior Service pack Power windows Tachometer Tilt wheel AM/FM stereo Rear window defroster Power brakes Power steering Firestone Wide Oval white letter tires Original invoice Original owner's manual The 1971 Corvette changed very little from the previous year, but as this highly original example from the Don Fezell Collection demonstrates, there was plenty new going on under the hood and at GM headquarters. After increasing the 427s displacement to 454 cubic inches for 1970, engineers had developed the LS7, an iron block, aluminum-head racing engine intended to replace the L88, but it was abruptly cancelled, the victim of corporate disdain for high- output engines and the cost-cutting de-proliferation program then burning its way through redundant RPO option lists. Once again, Zora Arkus-Duntov came to Corvettes rescue, specifying the new LS6 454 CI V-8 as the top offering for 1971. With 9.0:1 compression, the LS6 walked the line between the need to meet new fuel and emissions requirements and the insistent demand for power levels unique to Corvette, which it delivered to the tune of 425 HP and 475 lb-ft of torque. While the LS6 Corvette delivered the goods, rising fuel and insurance prices and the added production cost of its aluminum cylinder heads kept all but 200 brave souls from owning one (including 12 factory-racing ZR2 versions), putting these cars on par with the L88 for rarity. Purchased new at Grabiak Chevrolet in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, by James Benninger of nearby St. Marys, this highly optioned 1971 Corvette LS6 coupe was delivered with Steel Cities Gray paint and a black Custom leather interior, its 454/425 HP big-block V-8 backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and 3.55:1 Positraction third member. Its plentiful list of optional equipment included F70-15 Firestone Wide Oval white-letter tires, power steering and brakes, power windows, tilt steering column, rear window defroster and AM/FM radio. This is a well-preserved example driven just 44,932 original miles and with a superb single repaint on the faultless original body. Documented with the original invoice and owners manual, it is a beautiful example of the last of the great high-performance big- block Corvettes. |
