If it helps, a friend of mine sold his original drivetrain 71 LT-1 Coupe (Green/Green) here on the Forum last year for around 22K (?). Brand new Al Knoch interior, nice frame, original engine, trans, rear.
I know "some" may not like the color combo and others do, but that is 1/2 what your seller is asking for a car almost as nice.
Just a thought, good luck.

As a matter of fact I know of an almost identical 71 LT-1 for sale in Jersey, or at least it was a few months ago. About the same price. I do think the engine was decked though.

I did not see his ad anymore, but I did check South Jersey CL (where he lives) and saw a couple 71 LT-1's for under 24k. One looked interesting....A darker orange with saddle interior. It looked very original with SMOG still intact.

Wow I skimmed around craigslist at random anf found several 1971 corvettes. There is this green one owner roadster that is gorgeous. Small block. I imagine there are more lt1 and 454 out there. I just have to find them. Is there a way to do a one time nationwide search instead of going city by city?

Well this one got my interest because it is so close to me. So I looked at the ad and VIDEO closely.
How do you like the pricing?
and doesn't that trim tag say it is a Nevada silver car?
That price for a RESALE RED? Am I
for thinking that is nuts??????? Another learning exercise. Why not say in the video it is a repainted color change red car? What else is hiding?

Yes, 905 is Nevada Silver. You seem unsure. Does it not look like it clearly reads 905?
Have you checked other '71 convertible prices? How do they stack up? How about this one?

If you are strongly interested in '71 corvettes, I suggest you learn every little detail about the '71 corvette. If this one is so close to you, go see it! Gather your own pictures, your own opinion and weight your options.
