Vehicle Description 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 Convertible Why This Car Is Special If you want a one-of-a-kind Corvette, one that no-one else has or can ever have, then we have a 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454 cubic inch Corvette here at Skyway Classics that you must have for your collection.
This LS5 Corvette has been the subject of many magazine articles including Corvette Fever, Super Chevy, and more, and was included in Jerry Heasley's Corvette Masterpieces hardcover book too.
It has quite a story behind this special Corvette as it is the only one in the world that Elfie Duntov picked to honor her husband, Zora, at the 1997 National Corvette Museum Show in Bowling Green, Ky.
The Corvette was presented with the Duntov Award at the awards ceremony signed by Elfie Duntov, Tommy Morrison, Jim Minnick, Reeves Callaway, John Cafaro, and Dave McClellan.
The National Corvette Museum asked to have the Corvette displayed in the museum and it was for a year in 1997-1998.
It has been owned by a number of Corvette Collectors through the years and has recently gone a frame off restoration to NCRS specs with every nut and bolt correct and is probably one of if not the finest 1971 Corvettes on the planet.
