71 Corvette Coupe LT-1. 15,000 original miles

I am selling another car from my collection. This is a 71 Corvette Coupe. LT-1 350 / 330hp. 4 speed, 3.55 ratio rear end. Code 979 Bridgehampton Blue / code 412 Blue interior.

ALL original matching numbers with 2 exceptions (service replacement carb and parts store smog pump).

Optioned with...........

LT-1 350-330hp
M21 4 Speed transmission
3.55 limited slip differential
PO2 deluxe wheel covers
N40 power steering
PU9 white letter tires
U69 AM/FM radio

Approximately 35% original paint (hood, roof, sail panels) It is my opinion the sides of the car have been painted (as verified by previous owners) as has rear tail panel. It is my understanding the car was pinstriped by the original owner on the peaks of the fenders and tail panel (as many were back in the day). The car has the original hood pinstripes and LT-1 decals. The car has overspray in places that is typical to St. Louis cars of the era. Beautiful no hit body, detectable seams, and OEM gaps. I recently went over the car multiple times with #7 Meguiars. Great gloss, hardly any lacquer checking.

Fantastic original interior! Original carpet, door panels, dash pad, seat covers, seat belts, etc., etc.

Nice original engine compartment featuring.........
Original drivetrain
Original alternator
Original starter
Original distributor
Original radiator
Original fan clutch and pulleys
Original smog system ( except for parts store smog pump)
Original hoses with original hose clamps.
Original dated plug wires.
Original T.I. parts (coil and amplifier)
Original fasteners
Original master cylinder

Great original chassis featuring original shocks, exhaust (1 NOS muffler replaced), ball joints, tie rods, idler arm, etc. 5 original dated wheels.

Complete owner history, no gaps. Most owners were either family / friends until recent. Documented with copy of title verifying mileage as actual, Protect-O-Plate, and tank sticker (verified by NCRS).

Great running and driving car! Wiper door, motor, and headlights operate as they should. All fiber optics operate as they should (very bright).

I have owned this car since January of 2019. I purchased it with the intention of a long term hold. It's my kind of car. I had every intention of running the car around between Bloomington Gold, NCRS, and MCACN to get the car judged / certified. It has all the bones of a top notch car. I have recently acquired another car (that speaks to me...... more yet), as well as starting 2 other business's recently. So, some adjustments need to be made.

While I am actively selling the car, this is not a fire sale. I will try to accommodate parties with serious interest. What I won't tolerate is tire kickers, low ballers, and bullshitters. This is a serious car for a serious collector

I love the PO2 wheelcovers. Beautiful car, Tim.

Stunning... and outstanding presentation

Dan

Very NICE! GLWS Tim. shouldn’t last long!:3gears:

I don't think I have said this TO YOU too many times as of yet... What an incredible car!

Looks to be a special car for sure.....GLWS

Obviously, I messed that up and missed it. And no.........eBay will not change it. Thanks for the complements!

Can you end it due to an error and then relist it?

You can. they just charge you for it. I think I may have someone one it.........added to the fact the bidding is a bit active right now. I'll wait and see where it goes.

Here is the corrected listing.................

TTT. Interesting trades considered!

That's a great buy at $46,900 -

It's Amazing that a Corvette trades at a 40%+ discount COMPARED to a Camaro with same engine.

For what’s it worth, Tim is one of straightest shooters I have encountered in my car buying endeavors. If I was looking for this type of vehicle it would have been gone months ago.
Great car Tim and I know someone will be very happy with it!

C3’s are one of the best buys out there currently...

Without a doubt... and if you are willing to settle for chrome rears and urethane fronts there are NICE ORIGINAL low mile 73 L82's 4 spds available quite frequently for under 20k with a smattering of bigblocks available under 20 as well.

yes sir love my 78 L82 silver anniversary. The 25th anniversary was just at the point in time the market started to see these corvettes as collectibles.

I must say I have been a bit shocked how LT-1's have settled down. If this were a Z28, I probably could have sold the car 5 times over. I'd be hard pressed to replace this car at a future date. That having been said, I have decided to keep the car and enjoy it.

Thanks,
Tim

Tim, it's starting to get nice in Milwaukee. I'm glad you're going to keep the car and enjoy it as the weather warms up. Drive it to Road America in July for the vintage races, it would be great to see it cruising around track side.

Agreed, a blue blue car with so few miles is difficult to locate.
As I have stated I wouldn't part with mine for your asking price and mine has 3x the miles.

The car is live on Bring a Trailer........

Great ad...good luck!

This baby will bring 6 figures !!
GLWTS!!

Good luck! Nice car.

Tim, great add and great pictures. It looks like you repaired the radio and I know that was no easy chore. The chassis looks great. I love this car.

Another well presented car by Tim - don't let the BAT peanut gallery get you down........

Nice car Tim! Can I have it? ��
