1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Personal story and photograph submitted by owner Stan Nauman - courtesy of the National Corvette Museum website - for participation in the National Corvette Museum 2008 Historic Motorama II.
Of the 21,801 1971 Corvettes built approximately one third, 7121, were convertibles. The base price for the convertible was $5259.00. There were fourengine options and three transmission choices. With the exception of the LS6 engine, all 1971 Corvettes were detuned to run on low-lead fuel.
When GM celebrates the beginning of its next 100 years on September 16, 2008, 55 Corvettes will be on display outside its World Headquarters at Detroit’s Renaissance Center. The Corvettes are in fact the Historic Motorama II, a caravan from the National Corvette Museum (NCM) which is comprised of one example from each of the 55 years of Corvette production. The caravan will depart from the National Corvette Museum on September 10th with stops along the way. People attending the GMnext Day activities on September 16th will be able to view the Corvettes before and after the official program.
Look at the next Historic Motorama II Corvette participant, representing a cross-section of Corvette enthusiasts from across the country.
