As opposed to each different motor in the 1971 Chevrolet lineup, the Corvette LS6's 454 CI motor was not detuned to run on unleaded fuel; rather, it contradicted corporate arrangement, needing premium leaded fuel to shoot its 425 strength, a last shot crosswise over the corporate bow by Corvette's individualistic Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov. Therefore, the LS6 is a standout amongst the most enthusiastically looked for-after huge square Corvettes of that period. This 1971 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is one of just 188 handled in either T-beat or convertible figure style with the LS6 454/425 HP vast square V-8, hence the definitive matching numbers motor with the precise uncommon Muncie M22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed and 3.36 Positraction back close.
