1971 FACTS
The 1971 Corvette was one of the least-changed in appearance. A labor
o
dispute in May 1969 caused 1969 prOduction to run long, shortening
normal 1970 production by over four months. Chevroletthen treated 1971
Corvette production as an extension of 1970. Plus. GM directed its
divisions to reduce octane requirements in 1971 engines. an effort which
carried a higher priority than appearance changes.
With the exception of APO L56. 1971 engines were detuned variants of
o
1970 engines. GM's intention in reducing octane requirements to 91
(research) in 1971 was to give oil companies phase-in time for the
unleaded fuels needed for catalytic converters still four years away.
The 454ci LS6 engine with 425hp was designed to operate on low-lead
o
fuel. but a comparable engine was not available in 1970, so it won the
horsepower race for the two years despite it's lower octane appetite. It
featured aluminum heads and could be combined with an automatic
transmission. although not when combined with the ZR2 package.
One visible clue to a 1971's outward appearance was amber parking light
o
lenses. although very earty production had clear lenses.
The 1971 Corvette was the last mOdel to feature the fiber-optics light
o
monitoring system. It's thought the cost savings permitted inclusion of the
optional anti-theft alarm system as standard equipmentthe following year.
