It’s not every day that you see a big-block Corvette. In fact, it’s been more than 50 years since Chevrolet last offered a Corvette with a Mark IV V8. Luckily, we spotted this 1971 Stingray at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Auction. Not only was it restored and repainted in its original color of Steel Cities Gray, but it also had a massive LS5 454ci V8 that was factory-rated at 365 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. In addition to all that power, this C3 had plenty of conveniences, such as power steering, power windows, power brakes, air conditioning, and a Turbo Hydra-matic automatic transmission.
The highest bidder drove this big-block Vette home (probably leaving some burn-out marks along the way) for $66,000.
