The Corvette wasn't necessarily the most affordable car in 1971, especially as Chevrolet slightly increased its price for this new model year.
The coupe could be had at $5,496 if you ordered the base configuration, while the convertible was a bit cheaper, carrying a $5,259 price tag.
The coupe was still the big star of the Corvette show this year despite the price show. More than 67 percent of the Corvette buyers picked a coupe this year, so Chevrolet produced 14,680 units. The convertible accounted for 7,121 units of the total 21,801-unit 1971 production.
eBay seller 1958stevea has recently posted online what could be one of the fewest 1971 Corvettes still flexing an incredibly low mileage and a mesmerizing condition despite never receiving a restoration.
The first thing you'll probably notice about this Corvette is its fantastic shape. The car looks great, and it's almost unbelievable that it's never been restored. The paint shines like a diamond, and the Bridgehampton Blue finish (paint code 979) is spotless. It's the reason the vehicle has already received several prestigious awards, and the seller says the car comes with a complete judging history.
Step inside, and you get a chance to explore a 1971 Corvette just the way Chevrolet wanted it to be. Everything is spotless, and the odometer is living proof the car has been meticulously cared for during its entire existence.
The odometer indicates only 7,353 miles, and they are all original. The Corvette is a time capsule that doesn't need anything else than a climate-controlled garage or even a museum where it can retain its impressive shape.
As if all of the above wasn't enough, the Corvette sells with the original documents, including the build sheet, the tank sticker, the Protect-O-Plate, and the previous owner history. It's unclear how many people owned this amazing piece of automatic culture.
As anyone would expect, the engine starts, runs, and drives like a new unit. It's a 350 V8 with 270 horsepower paired with an automatic transmission. The matching-numbers engine has never been rebuilt, aligning with the unmolested condition of the vehicle.
The part that will probably make most people walk away is the selling price. The car can't come cheaply. After all, it's a 1971 Corvette survivor with everything in tip-top shape and incredibly low mileage, so you can't find such a coupe every day.
The owner expects to get $89,900 for this museum-grade Corvette, but they also enabled the Make Offer button, allowing interested buyers to negotiate the selling price and possibly get a better deal.
You can always see the car in person in Bee Spring, Kentucky, and given its incredibly low miles, you should consider bringing your trailer, as driving the Corvette home doesn't make much sense.
