This is our 1971 Corvette LT-1 Convertible. According to Motor Trend, the optional LT-1 engine was introduced in Corvette in 1970. “It was a raucous, racing-inspired engine with solid valve lifters, a high-lift camshaft, and high-winding personality that redefined small-block performance. With heavy-duty components not found on Corvette’s standard 350 engine”, it’s a great successor to my 1967 327ci Corvette.
