#s match throughout. Heavily documented! Original window sticker,
order form, paid invoice, car shipper form, NCRS shipping data
report and more. Body off frame restoration with hundreds of
pictures of the process including before pics. The legendary LT-1:
It has been said it wouldn't be fair to compare it to other small
blocks, it is in the league of high-performance big blocks and it
weighs less. Only 1,287 LT-1s were built total, in 1970. This was
also the year with the highest horsepower making it the most
desirable. The LT-1 option had a hefty price tag of $448 compared
to a big block that only cost $289.
EXTERIOR: The body was off the frame and stripped down. Plenty of
pictures show the process, no surprises. It is straight and fits
right. The LT-1 comes with a raised hood. The T-tops easily come
off and store behind the seats. The rear window even pops out and
has a storage compartment in back. Repainted its original Monza red
color. It presents itself really well, smooth and glossy. There are
imperfections that you would need to look for. The LT-1 is the only
one that comes with pin stripe on the hood. 15x8 Corvette rally
wheels have shiny trim. BFG tires look like new. All the chrome and
trim shows really well. Correct antenna. Windshield is crystal
clear. Weatherstrips were replaced. The weather shields are still
behind the grill that protect the headlights.
INTERIOR: Overall very nice. The seats are re-cushioned and
upholstered. Door panels have been replaced. Carpet front to back
was replaced, it has reproduction floor mats. Very good original
dash pad. Clean gauges have a correct 6,500 redline tachometer for
an LT-1. Clock is upgraded with quartz movement. The factory Am-Fm
is still in place. Clean original console still has 370 hp engine
specs emblem. Correct reverse lockout shifter. It has an optional
tilt-telescopic wheel. Interior lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original vin # matching 350-370 hp motor. These
used a 4-bolt main block, forged crank, TRW pistons, 202 heads,
hotter cam with solid lifters and high compression. Original
components including aluminum intake and # matching Holley carb. It
does have an upgraded MSD ignition box that's been relocated to
under the dash. Correct air cleaner, finned valve covers, upper and
lower ignition shielding and deep groove pulleys. The motor was
completely rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago to LT-1 specs. It features
power steering and brakes. All the components look clean and
proper.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame so the entire chassis could
be restored. The entire suspension and steering were rebuilt. It
has independent suspension front and back. 4-wheel disc brakes, the
system was restored. E-brake assembly is hooked up. Correct dual
exhaust with square tips going through the valance. Bottom of the
motor is clean; a new high torque starter is installed and the fuel
pump is clean. # matching M-21 close ratio Muncie 4-speed with a
new pressure plate and flywheel recently installed. Rebuilt
driveshaft with factory paint markings. Correct 3.70 posi rear
dated properly to this car. Fiberglass floors are clean, and the
spare tire carrier is complete.
This is the right car. Corvette collectors love documentation and
this one's got it! The 70 LT-1 Corvette is legendary, that is
literally the word used to describe these cars in several published
articles. As close to a guaranteed investment as you will find.
Plus, it's an amazing car to enjoy!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
