Default MN 1971 t-top original big block 4 speed car

1971 corvette original big block 454 bored out to 469, manual transmission 4 speed with t-tops.

Car is in good condition with minimal blemishes on the body. The paint is about 15 years old, the engine has been rebuilt in the early 2000s, done by the previous owner at a shop in middle Minnesota (car was purchased 3 years ago from brained) I have all the receipts from that owner.i The engine has Dyno sheets that came with it stating the engine makes 515 hp and 500tq. It has a mellow cam, worked heads, long tube headers with side pipes, performance intake manifold, davinci carburator, msd ignition and coil among other things, have all receipts.

Since owning it, I have had professionally installed,
-A brand-new interior including reworked dashboard and new seats all and leather with custom C7 Corvette stingray emblems
-Brand-new auto meter full gauges, including gps enabled speedometer
-Fall high-end stereo including amplifier, to sub woofers, for speakers, fullscreen Bluetooth enabled voice activated GPS system.
-dynamat in all new interior covered by brand-new carpet.
-Tilt steering conversion kit
-Combination safe and set into trunk on one side and insect covered battery on the other
-Brand-new performance clutch, brand-new aluminum flywheel
-Brand-new MSD distributor
The car overall is in perfect running order and really good shape. It is a perfect resto-mod driver car. Has plenty of power and is fun to drive. For any questions contact me through text call or email between 7 AM and 9 PM only please 651-343-6178 Don <br > <br > <br > <br > <br > <br > <br > <br > <br > <br >

I have been PMing with owner. Any forum member in Minneapolis willing to look over this car for me ? I could compensate you if you have experience with C3s (not looking for a NCRS judge but someone who knows the basics to look for).

I am going to push this to the general forum to try to help get a local guy to look at it for you. I'm pretty motivated to sell it as I wish to buy a new car with the sale of this one.

Price drop! Looking for 22,000 or close reasonable offer. Motivated to sell while the toy car selling season is still early in full swing.

TRDon,

Bump for you!! Love it-don't see how $22k could buy you much more fun than this. Those Fiero seats look very comfortable for cruising.

GLWS,

Rickman

This appears to be a lot of C3 for $22K. GLWS.

That is one sweet '71. Does it have a/c?

Good luck with the sale.

Still f/s? It says original block but I am assuming it isn't all numbers matching at this point? Original carb or just he DaVinci? Hows the birdcage? Any pics of the underside?


Has anyone seen this car in person?

I'm thinking this would be great with an X-FI kit and vintage air.
