It’s hard to find something not to like on a 1971 Corvette, and the whole thing is even harder if the car in question is a wedding gift received from someone that clearly loves you.
This is the case with this gorgeous 1971 Chevrolet Corvette, which obviously doesn’t exhibit a tip-top shape but still looks like a model that should be easily restored anyway.
eBay seller 69-z28 says the car was previously a wedding gift, but it spent most of its life in a garage, so now someone else would be given the opportunity to restore it and therefore own a beautiful Corvette that doesn’t seem to be missing anything.
The vehicle still sports the original 350 (5.7-liter) V8 engine paired with a 4-speed transmission, and we’re being told it was still working approximately 2 years ago when the Corvette was moved in a garage.
The frame appears to be rust-free, but on the other hand, the body still exhibits a bunch of cracks here and there. The best advice you could get is to closely inspect the vehicle to determine its condition more accurately, but given this is an online auction, such a thing is much harder.
The paint, however, looks fairly good, though it goes without saying you shouldn’t expect the condition you typically see on a new car.
Born as a convertible with factory air conditioning, this Corvette continues to sport the full interior it was equipped with from day one, and the overall shape appears to be fairly solid.
The odometer indicates some 126,000 miles (a little over 200,000 km), so despite spending some time in storage, it’s very clear someone really enjoyed driving this Corvette, possibly even on a daily basis.
Now’s your chance to park this 1971 Vette in your garage, though getting it won’t be easy. Sold at a no-reserve auction, the vehicle has already attracted the attention of quite a lot of people, so the bidding is under way and has already reached $17,000.
