Viva Las Vegas Autos Presents... Viva Las Vegas Autos Specifications...Year: 1971 VIN: 194371S117697 Make: Chevrolet Model: Corvette Style: Coupe LT1 Miles: 72,620 (Exempt - Reported to be Actual) Exterior: Steel City Gray Metallic Interior: Black Leather Engine Specs: 5.7L V8 Transmission: Manual 4 Speed Transmission Exterior...

Ok, I think we have your attention if you are still reading and starring at the first 14 images of this beautiful 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe LT1. As you can see so far, the exterior is in exceptional condition with only minor blemishes (touched up chips). The all original body is in excellent condition front to rear having never been in an accident and most importantly; this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe LT1 has always been fully serviced and garage kept. You will be able to see in the hundreds of published pictures that I don't hide anything. The minor flaws and small chips are not over looked or hidden from view; although you are obviously not going to see any that seriously distract for the overall beauty of this Corvette. The Paint is in its original color although repainted some years ago. The finish is shinny like new still. There are no signs of replaced fenders of any body panels on this car; they are all original to the Corvette. Obviously the paint is not flawless, but it is a high quality finish that shows exceptionally everywhere and would be fully appreciated even in a car show for outstanding paint. The exterior will not need any repairs to fully enjoy the already exceptional condition it is in. But if you are looking for “Flawless” well I would suggest going to your local Chevrolet dealer and buying a 2021 Corvette for 100k these days. If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe LT1 for a whole lot less than a 2021 Corvette and you can see in our presentation the extreme quality that is there, then by all means, let's talk about your fair offer and make this purchase a reality for you. Let's stare at some more images again...  

Interior...

When you open the doors to this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe LT1, you will instantly see that its prior owners took exceptional care both inside and out without question. Door panels, dash, leather seats and carpet are all in exceptional condition with only the slightest wear from brand new. The windows are fully functional, the gauges all work. This 1971 Corvette also has the removable rear window and removable tops. There's a storage tray under the rear deck for the window and a padded storage bag for the t-tops too. . The interior isn't just clean though, it really appears like it's only a few years old…not 50 years old. There aren't any cracks in the dash; even in the speaker areas. The only interior item we found inoperative was the clock and the original radio was updated with a modern radio.

Drivetrain...

We acquired this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 from its current Canadian owner who bought it a few years back and shipped it to his second home here in Las Vegas. With “TRAVEL” issues, it's sat in his garage since he was unable to take his normal vacations to Las Vegas. So, since that was not going to change anytime soon, he asked us to put this beauty on the market. . After I brought it to our location, we found original information within the original owner's manual that documented it ownership since new. Finding documentation like that is always my favorite thing. Once here, we thoroughly inspected the car and all of its build numbers and casting numbers and found to Corvette to be fully numbers matching with correct VIN derivatives on both the engine and transmission. All other components have correct casting numbers and date code correct too.  What is also incredible is how nice this LT1 performs. The car runs fantastic with no hiccups. Smooth and powerful and everything feels extremely tight and highly maintained. Everything functions excellent. I would not be afraid to take a cross country trip in this LT1 at all. Would I? Probably not this time of year without AC, but in the fall or spring, I sure would just because this LT1 provides perfect confidence when you drive it.

The Facts & The Documented History...

When it comes to the history and documents, we acquired this LT1 from a serious collector that has quite a few cars in his collection here and in Canada. This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette was in his Las Vegas collection for the last three years. He bought it from Mershons and had it shipped here. He didn't get any history for it when he bought it, but we found the owner's manuals in the cubby holes behind the seats and within one of the pages of the owner's manual, we found some cool written history.  A guy named Horst Zabel bought the car new June 1971, Randy Klann bought the car from his August 1973 with 21,800 miles on it. I (we're not sure who “I” is) bought the car Novemeber 18, 1974 with 30,279 miles (he taped the newspaper ad cutout on his notes. Looks like he negotiated from a $4200 asking price) Then he kept notes on his repairs and miles until he refers to a note book that carries on from April 5, 1976. No notebook to be found. Just wish we had more documented history…but what we do have is still very cool. Cheers

Viva Las Vegas Autos Note from the Owner...

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 19 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.”​​​​​​​
