1971 Chevrolet Corvette


1971 Corvettes were virtually identical in appearance to the previous model inside and out. This was the final year for the fiber optics light monitoring system and the headlight washer system. For the first time, air conditioning was installed on most of the cars, with nearly 53 percent so ordered. Engines were detuned with reduced compression ratios to tolerate lower octane fuel. The small block engine available was the 350 cu in base engine, which was rated at 270 hp. Rare option on this roadster is shoulder belts which was factory installed in convertibles (677).
