Here is an outstanding 1971 Corvette Coupe in spectacular Ontario Orange - paint code 987; complimented with Deluxe Saddle Tan leather - trim code 420. The car's official production date documented by GM was 06/10/71 and subsequently delivered to Spedding Chevrolet in Denver, Colorado. What makes this car special is it's low actual mileage (14,115); all of the gauges are original and have not been restored with exception of the clock. All interior vinyl is original; new carpeting, seating and console trim was replaced to give the car an as new appearance.
It was delivered with the following options: J50 Power Brakes, LS5 - 454 c.i. 365 hp engine, M21 close ratio 4 speed transmission, N37 Tilt - Telescopic Steering Column, N40 Power Steering, U79 AM-FM Stereo, ZQ1 Optional Rear Axle Ratio (3.08). I have not been able to determine if it was delivered with P02 hubcaps or rallye trim rings; both come with the car.
Number Matching absolutely! The engine is original to the car from it's birth date; TO 521 CPH with the serial number stamped in the pad as well. Transmission is also original to the car; P1E20B with the serial number also stamped into the casing. The rear axle is also original to the car and dated E-81. All manifolds are date correct to the car, one was replaced. Carburetor, Starter, Water Pump, Alternator and Pulleys are all date correct and original. The original frame stencil was visible and faithfully reapplied and reflects a fabrication date of 5-3-71.
The car has undergone a thorough nut and bolt frame off restoration. The pictures do not do the car justice; I am sure you will have questions regarding this absolutely beautiful automobile. Please call me at 970-396-1587 to discuss any details or clarifications.
Thank you, happy bidding!

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
