1971 CORVETTE Convertible, nicely reconditioned and

offered at $19,990

The Vette Net is honored to present you with an opportunity to own this very special 1971 Corvette convertible. It has been maintained in top running condition and the custom purple metallic paint is dazzling.  You have selected an outstanding example of an early C3 Corvette to consider for purchase.

There is something very special about Corvette convertibles. Driving down the highway with the top down and radio tuned into your favorite station is incredibly satisfying. Some say even theraputic. This Corvette retains its numbers matching engine, transmission, rear end, interior, and many of its factory-installed components. Just the paint has been changed to make it a bit different from ordinary. I believe you will agree it has been executed with restraint and the result is perfect.

If you are looking for a Corvette convertible with a distinctive look, this certainly is one Corvette you will want to seriously consider. Please know that I am here to help you evaluate this great American sports car and provide all the information you need.

Since 2002, I have been the custodian of this beautiful and dependable Corvette convertible.  Great care has been taken under my watch to be sure the car is in top running condition.

This car has exceptional eye appeal especially in the sunlight. Whenever I am at a car show or in a gas station, inevitably someone compliments the car and inquires about its originality. 

Personally, I am not in this hobby to collect awards.  I think it’s a whole lot more fun to enjoy the ride. There appears to be some original mechanical parts on the car (engine, trans, rear, etc). If that’s your area of interest (originality), or if you just want a clean highly dependable Vette with a little bit of attitude, you should seriously consider my Corvette.  You won’t be disappointed and I believe you will agree it is a great value.

I was asked to rate the cosmetic and mechanical condition of this car on a scale of 1-10 (highest). I know you will think I’m biased, but I respect your need for honesty and I feel very comfortable with the following ratings:

Paint:  8.5 (There are a few minor surface blemishes on the hood. Not too many.)

Seats: 7.5  (They look very nice considering their originality.)

Dash: 6  (Showing some aging.)

Carpet: 10  (New.)

Door Panels: 8  (They look good and show some wear.)

Stowage Area: 10  (All new.)

Soft Top: 10  (New.)

Glass: 8  (Side glass is original.)

Windshield: 9  (Replacement)

Engine Appearance: 5.75  (It isn’t detailed but sure looks good for its age.)

Mechanical Rating:  9  (I take great pride in having the Corvette serviced whenever something needs attention. Every season the car gets a full service, oil, lube, filter, fluid checks, etc.)

Operation:  8.5  (All controls, lights, switches, and gauges work perfectly. The clock is the only feature on the car that needs fixing.)

Performance: 9  (While this is not what I would call a “performance” Corvette, it will certainly put a smile on your face.  It runs very well, tracks straight down the highway, shifts smoothly, stops like it should, and is quite comfortable.)

Thank you for taking a look at my 1971 Corvette. I invite you to take it for a test drive and see for yourself how accurate I was in describing the condition and performance of my Corvette. My broker Larry Karlo will help arrange your visit to my home in Michigan.
