1969 to 1972 are at the top end of the C-3 Corvette values right now. It’s an immaculate and well-presented example of a chrome-bumper, big-block C3 in a stunning color with no known issues. An important matter is the body style. The chrome bumper C-3 is continuing to increase in value. The 1971 models are the next-to-last of the “chrome bumper” Sharks, and as such hold a strong styling edge over the following years with the plastic bumper Corvettes. Down the road, this Classic LS5 is likely to be a reasonably safe investment because it’s a nicely preserved big-block whose engine is barely broken in. It will likely live long into the future because it’s a professionally freshly rebuilt car, done right, with papers to prove it.
