This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is one of just 188 examples equipped with a 454ci LS6 V8 for the model year.
Finished in Sunflower Yellow over black leather, the car underwent a body-off refurbishment in 2005, and work included a repaint as well as mechanical refreshment.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie M22 four-speed manual transmission, and additional factory equipment includes a Positraction rear differential, removable T-top roof panels, factory 15″ wheels, power steering and brakes, power windows, and a Delco AM/FM stereo.
The numbers-matching 454ci LS6 V8 is equipped with aluminum cylinder heads and was factory-rated at 425 horsepower.
The engine was rebuilt during the refurbishment, while more recent maintenance have included replacement of the spark plugs and an oil change.
The engine pad stamping 115836 corresponds to the last six digits of the chassis number.
Engine suffix “CPW” indicates a 454ci V8 with 425 horsepower, aluminum cylinder heads, and a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie M22 four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear differential with 3.70:1 gears, which were also rebuilted during the refurbishment.
The fiberglass body was removed from the frame and repainted in its factory shade of Sunflower Yellow (916).
The frame was also refinished at this time, and exterior features include removable T-top roof panels, pop-up headlights, and 454 hood badging.
Factory 15″ wheels with optional Turbine-style covers wear Firestone Wide Oval tires at all four corners.
Power-assisted brakes and steering came optioned from the factory, and a matching full-size spare is housed in the trunk along with a jack.
The cabin features high-back bucket seats upholstered in black leather along with matching carpets and woodgrain accents along the door panels and center console.
Additional equipment includes rubber floor mats, power windows, a Delco AM/FM stereo, and a three-spoke steering wheel mounted on a tilting steering column.
Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, as well as gauges for oil pressure, engine temperature, voltage, and fuel level mounted in the center stack.
The five-digit odometer shows 57k miles, true mileage is unknown.
