1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454 Convertible Mille Miglia Red 12633 Miles
The sight of a dialed-in, beautifully restored 'Lil Red Corvette is a virtual lock to brighten the mood of any car enthusiast, and when it packs the big block power of this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454 Convertible, that happiness becomes outright euphoria with just a tap of the accelerator. Wearing its original colors inside and out, including an absolutely magnetic shade of Mille Miglia Red stretched over those gorgeous curves, this C3 is in good shape with over $70K worth of restoration/maintenance work completed in the last ten years. Killer good looks, plenty of power, and a top that goes down – this is the kind of Corvette that Prince wrote songs about. Decked out in period-perfect Code 973 Millie Miglia Red paint, this 'Vette looks like a life-size version of that Hot Wheel you just had to have all those years ago because its sheer visual awesomeness meant certain victory in match races. That eye-catching hue is in very nice condition here, with a smooth texture and a strong shine that follows you as you circle the car. No longer a perfect show car, the 10-year finish on this slick drop-top impresses all that come near it, with a top driver quality presentation that's been well-cared for throughout the years. Third-generation Corvettes like this '71 model have an outstanding timeless stylishness about them - they get their curved form from the Mako Shark II concept car that stunned car expo audiences in the mid-'60s with its futuristic appearance. The body lines on this classic are in great order - everything matches up neatly, and the doors and big block hood show nice, even gaps. All exterior fittings, including the legendary chrome bumpers fore and aft, the rocker panel trim, and the useful luggage rack out back, present very well. The front windshield and side glass are all in very good condition as well.
