Though I'd start here first before I go to any other online classified.

I just bought a '17 Grand Sport and now need to sell the LT-1 I've owned for 26 years.

It's one of approx. 58 LT-1 factory air convertibles out of 240 factory air C3 LT-1s ever made.  No air in 70 or 71.

Transmission (M20) and engine have the matching VINs.

Original carb dated Nov 71

Engine cast Dec 17th 71

Engine stamp Jan 17th

Trim tag Feb 2nd (G02)

Brands Hatch Green (a 71 color, originally white) with deluxe saddle interior.  PB,PW and a an aging tan top.

Great color combo and gets a lot of attention.

No tank sticker and not a Top Flight, B-Gold, NCRS type as I'm not into that but everything is stock.

Original carb and distributor are in boxes and it has an MSD dist. and 6A spark box and a Holley Street Avenger 670. Nothing wrong with the original carb or disty other than being old.

It is an older, body on restoration.

New stuff:

Radiator,core support, rear seal, tires, brake pads, rear discs, RF & LR calipers, gas tank (when I bought it in '97).

Clutch, tranny, and rear end were overhauled in '97.

Had 64k miles on it in 97 and now has 85k.  I drive this about 1 to 1.5 times a week, it is not a hangar queen.

I'll attach some photos in a bit, I'm tired of typing. 🙂

I know I'm going to regret selling but I just don't have the room for 2 Vettes.

Looking at $60,000 OBO

Just heard that this ad is on Facebook.  So cell # is 8 one 7 - 481- 8210

I had to make the tough choice when we moved to Colorado and needed to down-size the "Fleet" of fun cars.  I feel your pain.  But enjoy the memories and drive the heck out of the new ride...!!!

Looks nice…..Originally a white from factory?  Is it stock interior/carpet color?  Has the engine been Into any, or is it all factory?  Is the air cold? If so that is RARE.

Yes, originally white, interior is stock Dark Saddle carpet has typically faded.  As far as I know, the engine is still all factory.
The air is as cold as it normally was, still has R12 and I have some extra R12 set aside. 

Yes, it is rare.
