For 1969, after a year's absence, the popular Stingray name reappeared on Corvette fenders. And, if you liked the ’69 and ‘70 Corvette, you would have loved the 1971. It was virtually the same design, however, a new resin process was implemented to improve the body quality.

Of the 21,801 produced that year, only 1,949 received the powerful LT1 350-cid, 330-hp small-block V-8 engine, as seen in this example. The transmission is the desirable M21 close-ratio four-speed manual and the rear end is the factory Posi-traction unit. The drivetrain on this LT-1 Corvette is reported as correct. Personally owned by Roy Sinor for 35 years, this Vette has 40,000 actual miles and wears its original War Bonnet Yellow paint. The interior is Saddle and the white soft-top is originally dated.

Mr. Sinor is well-known as the recently-retired National Corvette Restorers Society national judging chairman and one of the experts used by professionals Corvette consultations. Sinor spent over seventeen years with NCRS and is one of the foremost experts on Corvettes.

This is a truly magnificent example that is Bloomington Gold certified and a NCRS Top Flight Award winner. It also looks so nice; one would initially think that it is a restored car. The complete owner history goes back to new when the LT-1 was first delivered from Milner Chevrolet in St. Louis, Missouri. Additional equipment on the roadster are transitor ignition, tilt/telescopic wheel, AM/FM radio, luggage rack, Rally wheels, Goodyear F70x15 tires; power steering and brakes. This is a quite rare machine that would be near impossible to duplicate.
