1971 LS-5 Coupe Numbers Matching 4 Speed in OH
I recently restored a 1971 LS-5 coupe. It is a numbers matching 4 speed, AC car in Nevada silver with black interior. Motor has less than 300 miles since the rebuild. Car is located near Dayton, Ohio. I have 80% of a deteriorated tank sticker that is almost illegible. $37,000 FIRM. I did the following to the car after I purchased it:
Seats are brand new.

- Removed the body and painted it the original Nevada silver in base coat / clear coat (I am a painter). The paint is awesome.
- Sand blasted the frame and suspension, epoxy primer, and top coated with a black to match the factory sheen. All bushings and u-joints were in great shape, so they were not replaced.
- When I purchased this vehicle the engine had been rebuilt. I spoke with the shop to confirm this to be fact and I possess this receipt.
- I was told the transmission had been rebuilt. No documentation of this, but I did pull cover and it looked perfect. This was enough to satisfy me.
- New exhaust manifolds were purchased with the proper date codes
- Rebuilt GM water pump with the proper date code was installed
- Under the cap electronic ignition replaced the points
- New coil, cap, rotor, wires(no shielding
- Had the original factory radiator re-cored
- Resurfaced flywheel, new clutch and pressure plate
- There was a rust hole the size of a dime at the top of the windshield frame. This was the worst of minimal rust this car had and it was properly addressed.
- New fuel and brake lines
- New fuel tank pick up and sending unit
- All new vacuum relays and actuators and hoses
- Bumpers were professionally re-chromed (better than reproductions).
- All new wiring harnesses throughout the car, new fiber optics as well.
- All new interior and exterior light bulbs
- New seats, carpet, dash pad, new console
- Restored the GM rally wheels
- New BF Goodrich tires
Seats are brand new.

I just mean I have the same 1971 Nevada Silver LS5 4 speed, PS,PB,AC, rear defrost. Mine is in the middle of a frame off. I guess I just thought incorrectly that a correctly restored LS5 would be worth closer to 50? oh well.

just your standard full side shots, front & back, interior and engine bay. Undercarriage photos are always nice to show condition but I realize not everyone has a lift available. This looks like a really nice restoration but its a little hard to tell since the photos seem close up and basic. maybe it could be pulled outside and show more of the overall vehicle.
