1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible — 350/270, Muncie 4-Speed, St. Louis Build Why This Car Is Special The 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible occupies a unique position in C3 history. It was the last model year before GM's compression ratio cuts took full effect across the lineup, and as a result, the 1971 Corvette still carried factory power ratings that buyers in later years could only look back on with envy. The 350ci small block in this car was factory rated at 270 horsepower — a number that holds up well even by today's standards for a naturally aspirated engine of this displacement. By 1972, net horsepower ratings replaced gross figures across the industry, and the perception of Corvette performance shifted dramatically. The 1971 model year sits right at the edge of that transition, making it one of the last 'old school' Corvettes before the emissions era fully arrived. Total Corvette production for 1971 came in at 21,801 units across all body styles. Of those, only 7,121 were convertibles — exactly the body style you're looking at here. That's a minority of the total run, and convertibles have consistently commanded stronger interest among serious collectors than their coupe counterparts, especially in desirable color combinations. This car was built at the St. Louis assembly plant, which produced all C3 Corvettes from 1968 through 1981.
