This is an original numbers matching1970 Corvette. We took it to Bloomington Gold in 2010 to be judged as a Survivor, which the car did receive. The car is not as pretty as those that have been restored, but this one is, to the best of my knowledge, completely original. The judges at Bloomington Gold told me to do nothing to the car except for maintenance as needed. The car does have some "warts", but they are typical of what the cars had coming off the assembly line in 1970.
1970 was the lowest production year for Corvettes because of the strike. Only 6,508 convertibles were built and only 10,668 Coupes, bringing the total to 17,316. In 1968 38,762 were produced and in 1971 21,801 were produced.
The car is equipped with a 350Cubic inches 300 HP engine, 380 lbs. ft Torque and 10,251 Comp Ratio. It has the fiber optics which lets you know if all lights are working. a Turbo-Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, AC, and power windows, power steering, power brakes and a tilt & telescopic steering wheel.
We are the third owner. We bought it from a gentleman who bought it from his cousin, who bought it new. When we bought it the gentleman gave us a box with the original and records from the car.
As I show in the pictures, the windshield has an area that is not right, but, as I have been told, was typical. The paint also has some "warts", but as with the windshield, the judges said all imperfections are typical of the way they came off the assembly line back in 1970.
We bought the car in 2010 and have enjoyed it, but we are now 73 years old and it is time to sell the car.
