1971 Chevrolet Corvette stingray 454 - survivor & matching numbers

Description

Selling my pampered, survivor 454 due to a new arrival in the family. Car is almost all original and no expense has been spared in maintaining her.
Garage kept and to the best of my knowledge has never seen the rain! As you can see from the pictures, this vehicle is in incredible condition.
The 48,000 miles are believed to be correct from new, with documented only 3,000 miles since 2005. All recent service history & some service history from 1990 onwards.
The Stingray has almost all important numbers matching, including the block and transmission.
Two detailed appraisals (1990 & 1997), one by NCRS judge, confirm factory fitted options as below

I have spent over $7,000 in the last two years to ensure that everything works as it should, including AC, fiber optics and vacuum system. AC, transmission, gear box and steering are some of the areas that have all been invested in over this time. Owning a classic car will never be maintenance free, but this car will get you as close to it as is possible!
As you can see from the pictures, the paint is beautiful and only one full repaint in 1988. Couple of very small marks as you would expect, although non you can see from further away than an inch & all exceptional for the age, same as the interior.
Throwing in some books and NCRS material that you can see in the pictures
Happy to answer any questions & welcome pre purchase inspections. Would love for the vette to find a great, caring new home.
