| Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this iconic 1971 Chevrolet Corvette. By 1971 the legendary 427 powerhouse was long gone, but the 454 now offered in "America's Sports Car" was no slouch. This 365hp LS5 454 is believed to be the original big block power plant and is teamed with the M21 4-speed transmission (3925661) making this rare Vette one of only 2,387 produced. And for Corvette lovers, in the know, this LS5 has factory power steering making it even more desirable. When you add in the fact that Nevada Silver and Sunflower Yellow were the rarest colors manufactured in 1971, 1177 of each were produced, you start to understand how special this amazing C3 is. Recently, this collection worthy classic was treated to new front and rear brakes including the master cylinder and e-brake assembly, rear axle bearings and bushings, and rear strut rods. Owned by an avid Corvette collector for decades, this timeless masterpiece has led a pampered life. It's powerful! It's beautiful! It's collectible! "Are you not entertained!" |
