$28,995 OR BEST OFFER

Overview

Offered on consignment at Oswego Motors is this classic 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe, finished in its correct and highly desirable Bridgehampton Blue over Blue interior color combination. This is a true American icon that captures the raw feel of early 1970s performance while still being a very enjoyable driver today.

What makes this Corvette stand out is that it retains its original, numbers matching 350ci L48 V8 engine, verified by matching VIN and engine stamp. Finding an honest, numbers-matching example with documentation like this is becoming increasingly difficult, making this a strong opportunity for both enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Engine & Performance

Under the hood sits the original L48 350 cubic inch V8 (5.7L) producing 270 horsepower, paired to an automatic transmission.

• Numbers Matching Engine (VIN Verified)

• 350ci Small Block V8 (5.7L)

• L48 – 270 Horsepower

• Smooth, classic carbureted power delivery

• Factory-style air cleaner and setup

• Equipped with power steering and power brakes

This car delivers the authentic Corvette driving experience—simple, mechanical, and engaging.

Condition & Presentation

This Corvette presents as an honest, driver-quality example.

• Exterior shows age consistent with a classic vehicle (approximately a 6–7 out of 10)

• Paint and body are presentable and still show well overall, but not a show-quality restoration

• Engine bay appears largely original and untouched, which supports authenticity

• Interior retains its correct color combination and classic styling

This is not an over-restored car—and that’s part of its appeal. It’s a Corvette you can enjoy, improve over time, or preserve as-is.

Mileage

• 7,378 miles (shown on odometer)
  (Mileage is believed to be exempt due to age)

Service History & Documentation
