Hi Jeff Johnston !
The Corvette Stingray Convertible 71 really looks like the original sportscar
I can tell you that it is either with a smallblock LT 1 engine or a Bigblock 454 engine because it has the special hood.
I am the luckey owner of a Corvette Stingray convertible 71 in 1 : 1 with a 454 engine 7.4 L with 500 HP Yes that is big fun and healthy for the ears and eyes.
I am a big fan of this car and have been looking for a model kit or box similar to the one you have made.
If this is from a kit or a box I can buy somewhere can you help me with details where to buy and name and so on. Also I would like to know what is the scale ?
Mine is Silver paint completely rebuild 2 years ago with some updates but looks original all over and is as nice as yours.
I have build RC airplane helicopters and monster trucks but never a muscle car in small size. I live in Denmark therfore I hope you maybe have a link to a netshop where i can buy it
If you have info for me my email is t_hoeffding@hotmail.com
Thanks Torben or Stingray 71
