1971 LS6 Corvette judged to the highest standards with judging credentials and all supporting documents to enhance value, it is extremely collectable as one of 188 ever built with this famous muscle car engine, even more rare with the heavy duty M-22 4-speed transmission, believed to be only 30-40 made in this configuration, the history and value includes the 2010 NCRS Chapter Award and then the prestigious National Top Flight Award (SEE LINK), the latter award yields the serious judging awards for enhanced value, said awards from the judges assure the next collector and investor that the LS6 is very correct in all aspects with numbers verified by the judges (LINK), original Tank Sticker (LINK) and Protecto-Plate (LINK), it is fully restored in all cosmetic and mechanical areas with road testing,
Specific notes on the car: just gorgeous presentation with wonderful luster in the deep Brands Hatch Green color that is the color of the cover car in the 1971 Corvette brochure (LINK), here is a full restoration of a factory correct Corvette that is not modified in any way, many options, the T-Tops fit as new with all new rubbers, this has perfect fenders with the insides being as new, the paint and presentation are just fabulous with a deep shine, note that the judging sheets take off a small deduction because the paint is so good that is better than stock (LINK), some of the comments are “gloss too high, no orange peel”, the sheets even say that the chrome bumpers are better than stock, thusly there are small deductions for this exceptional quality, it does not make sense to restore a rare Corvette of this quality and not do a spectacular presentation, work is just completed with final buffing by a true professional (LINK) to insure the show presentation, (SEE SIGN), meticulous attention to detail in the restoration to obtain Top Flight Status (LINK),
