1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C3

Corvette, the name says it all. There's something great about the earlier C3 Corvette design. It has some great European-inspired elements like a flying buttress rear and Kamm-back styling. This is functional art from any angle. Power comes from the original, matching-numbers 350 cubic inch V8. While this has a correct look, right down to the Rochester 4-barrel carburettor, you get extra power and rumble thanks to the 4-into-2 dual exhaust system. Best of all, you are in complete control over this V8 and its growling soundtrack with the four-speed manual transmission. In fact, control is a major theme to this classic Stingray. That's why you also have a fully independent sports suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes.

The full black interior looks great against the metallic exterior, and you can show off this full packaging any time you want thanks to the T-tops; and because this is one of the last years of the removable rear window, you can really let the wind breeze through the car as you enjoy the open road. This is a cool colour combo on a desirable numbers-matching Stingray. You know you love this stick-shift T-top machine.
