The biggest knock against the value is the colour change. White LT1's are super rare, it is one of the rarest for a LT1 and then a convert on top of that....
They are rare. Here's our born with original motor, trans, rear, no hit body LT1. Full docs and CCAS certified (engine pad and trim tag).

Best,

That car looks good in White. Is that leather interior? Is that a late build car? It has the 71 grilles. I had a Donnybrook Green convertible for 22 years. It had power windows, shoulder harness,tinted glass,PO2 wheel covers with Black walls. Sold it back in 06 to a guy from California that shipped it to Switzerland. I sold it to buy a 66 L72 coupe. I should've kept the LT-1. I got $48K for it then. That was one of my favorite cars. That car would rev and pull hard. Nothing like the sound of solid lifters in a convertible.

To make that car "right" is going to take easy $10K or more depending on bodywork, I'm thinking higher... So at $45K you are in deep.....

Bill send me that $$, I think I can do better investing for you.....LOL

STD black interior and yes very late car. They are lots of fun when well sorted out and done correctly.

Yes with one small correction. No AC in a 71 LT1. 72 you could get solid lifters and AC. I believe that’s only the second time in Corvette history next to the 65 365hp motor which you could get optional AC.

I’d also say the ZR1’s and ZR2’s are certainly rarer. Also the LS6’s.

I should have said "72" for the 71 with ac, I stand corrected.

But lets stay with comparing apples to apples here, Zr1/ZR2 are not in question.

For an LT1, White was one of the rarest colours ordered, if not the rarest

Black is the rarest LT1 color. So far one LT1 has surfaced which has the paper to prove it was black when it left St Louis and thus will not have deductions applied for non original paint color in the NCRS.

FWIW currently there are 4 known provable black 70-72's. There are 2 black 72's - base motor coupe and base motor roadster and 2 black 71's - a loaded LS5 2 top roadster and the LT1 coupe.
I have been in contact with the original owner of a 70 LS5 coupe which he states he ordered and recieved in Black.

If I were after a white one it would have to be a 70 with Bright Blue or any year with Red interior.

Hi... never even thought about black. But now that you mention it I would agree. Black was NOT a desirable colour in the early 70's. Green very common, red of course, then blues and silvers. Yellow was also around, the first 10 72 LT1's shipped to Canada were all shipped the same day, probably as "showroom display" cars.
I have records on about 40+ LT1's from 70-72 that I have not looked at in 15+ years. I had a 3 digit NCRS number then too

----I worked for a Hyannis Ma. used car dealer on and off in the early 70's and he bought around 4 or 5 Corvette converts new in primer, and then had them painted black when they came in. Only one of them was a 454 and I think it was a 72!......Bill S
