1971 LT-1 "6 NCRS Top Flight Awards" SOLD

The C 3 Corvette LT- 1 offers the optimum of high performance output in a small block V8, with the added bonus of an almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution. This is the small block Corvette that will give you big block acceleration, while offering outstanding handling. Tested by Car & Driver, the 1971 LT-1 did 0-60mph in 6 seconds, 0-100mph in 14.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 14.57 seconds at 100.55mph and a top speed of 137mph. This performance, and the fact that only 4,977 LT-1 Corvettes were produced between 1970-1972 makes the LT-1 the most sought after of the 3rd generation Corvettes. Add the fact that this is a convertible and you've got it all.

As a 1971 War Bonnet Yellow LT-1 convertible, this car is a pretty rare Corvette. In 1971, there were only 7,121 convertibles, 3,706 offered in War Bonnet Yellow, and 1,949 LT-1s. By extrapolating the numbers an educated guess would be there were only 109 War Bonnet Yellow LT-1 convertibles built out of a total 1971 production of 21,801 Corvettes. Here is a Corvette in which you will definitely not see yourself coming and going.

This War Bonnet Yellow 1971 LT-1, which has the deluxe leather interior and the desirable tilt-telescopic Steering Column, is a highly original well preserved Corvette, which received a first class body-on restoration in the early 1990s. The chassis is in great condition and was preserved rather then restored to maintain its originality. Upon completion of the restoration, the car received 6 NCRS Top Flight awards. Today the car presents in excellent condition and drives like an LT-1 should drive. It's a screamer plain and simple. The car has been extremely well cared for and maintained, having been driven only 5,500 miles since the restoration was completed. This is an absolutely stunning LT-1 convertible, which needs nothing other then to be proudly driven and thoroughly enjoyed.
