SPECTACULAR 1971 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE MODIFIED PERFORMANCE 350CI PERFECTION

This stunning 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe with all the right modifications to make it seriously BADASS! Now, first off, 71 Corvettes were always badass right out of the factory. This Corvette is no different but it retains so much of it's originality while at the same time, received modern modifications under the hood and with the exhaust that will instantly inform you with the strike of the ignition that THIS Corvette is nothing like stock. From first glance, the L88 big block hood stands out. When anyone listens to the rumble of the highly modified exhaust, they will instantly believe the car is a Big Block Corvette. Open the hood and you won't find a big block engine, but you will find the original numbers matching 350ci that come with the car. That's where is stops though. From the polished high rise intake topped with a open K&N Filter.to the alloy heads with roller rockers inside, mated to poilished ceramic headers, that's a serious topside view masterpiece. Rolled down underneath the car and you'll find the echo chambers coming just behind the headers that literally give this car that big block sound, yet the performance and longevity of the bullet proof 350ci. Follow that back to the X crossover all the way back to the Flo Master tips. All that is really high-end bolt on parts, but none of that would matter if the car didn't have a full rebuild on the engine with hardened internals. Behind the engine is the orginal Turbo 400 Transmission with a external cooler mopunted under the front end and behind that 336 Posi Gears in the rear end. A new Four Core Radiator, new shocks, new trailing arms, rebuilt steering column, new brakes and newer tires too. AC works as well and original to the car, along with the power brakes, Tilt/Telescopic steering column, power steering, AM/FM Radio and an Alarm system that I have no idea how it works. All in the original Brands Hatch Green with Green Vinyl interior.

The exterior of this 1971 Chevolet Corvette is all original with no accident history to any panels. Possibly repainted but may still be original and in great condition. I know the L88 hood obvioulsy isn't original and has been repainted but not a great match to the rest of the car. We do have the original hood that matches perfectly and if the aircleaner was lowered, is could easily be remounted on the car. The L88 look so good and the paint just isn't bad enough to justify putting on the flat original hood. There are small chips and minor blemishes on the paint, like I said, it may be original on most of the car, but it does show as you see it in my high resolution images. There used to be a rear luggage rack so thoise holes have been capped and painted to match the car. All your chrome is excellent. The car spent its life in Arizona and there is absolutly no rust whatsoever. The frame looks perfect with no damage anywhere present. All the seams in the fiberglass are all present and as they were out of the factory. The glass all original and in great condition. A few tiny pits can be seen in the windshield, but nothing unsightly. Doors, hood, headlights and wiper door do all function. Lights all work and turn signals work including the fiber optics inside. This is a car that within 10 feet looks excellent all the way around. But een more important. this car drives excellent and is the high point of this Corvette.

The interior of this Corvette is in outstanding condition for being all original. With only a minor replacement of the original carpet, it could be nearly perfect. This Corvette looks and feels exceptional inside. The seats are in exceptional condition including the structure and foam. They feel great. The dash is perfect with no cracks in the speakers or anywhere else. The console is excellent and all the gauges and clock work as they should. Window roll up and down with ease, and everything inside sows exceptional except for the carpet which is in good condition but showing fade. This car also has the shoulder harness belts too. The original jack and tools are still in place and the interior lights all work too.

This 1971 Corvette features a freshly rebuilt and internally modified 350ci engine mated to the original Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The engine is original to the car and a partial VIN can be seen. As the engine was completely rebuilt with a modified cam, hardened internals and alluminum heads with roller rockers. It features a Holley 350cfm 4bbl Carburetor mounted on top of a "high profile" intake manifold. If this car had a 650CFM double pumper on it, I don't think you could keep from roasting the rear tires. She's already a badass driver with the 350cfm, plus she probably gets way better fuel efficiency This Corvette drives with exceptional performance and confidence as well. I have owned countless C3s and this 1971 ranks with some of the very best I have ever had, encluding NCRS Gold contenders I have owned in the past. I would feel completely confident to drive this car cross country without hesitation.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original, rare and high quality modified vintage and modern cars. Over the past 17 years I’ve been in business, I have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles as well. I specialize in and I am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.
I have an experienced eye for quality and I’ve discovered that my preferred buyers can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the buyer, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may be at a first glance. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner. First we do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and hope nothing escapes our methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about Collector's Dream Cars. Moreover, it allows us to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless we think it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction so you don’t get a headache over the vehicle.

After the vehicle is fully checked over and made whole at any level it needs to be, we researches its history, documents, documenting originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications, and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 200 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they meticulously clean. Reconditioning can sometimes take several days as we do all that we can within reason to get our vehicles in tip top condition visually and cosmetically. We do Way more than just a cheap detail. Our details are more like refurbishing to as close to new as we can possibly get our vehicles.

Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch gauges operation as well.

No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase that my vehicle is for real and what I say is an honest assessment. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer is serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually make an offer, I will happily quote you a liberal suggested retail price – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”​​​​​​​
