Vehicle Description
A fully restored 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454 with the
numbers-matching big block, original close-ratio four-speed, and
terrific color combo is an absolutely beautiful thing. So if you're
looking for a true cut-above classic, keep reading on about all the
details about this low mileage machine.
Covered in a gorgeous coat of its correct factory code-975 Marlboro
Maroon, this Stingray attracts attention wherever it goes. That's
because while the car already has low total mileage, it actually
has traveled less than 250 miles since its restoration. This was a
$45k full rotisserie procedure that really got into a nut & bolt
level of detail. While that was completed a few years back, it has
only been kept in dry/heated/careful storage since then. So the way
the light rolls over those crisp fenders in an unbroken curve is
proof that someone invested a good amount of time getting
everything tidy before adding the smooth, shiny finish. In fact, we
know the way it looks under our showroom light already has you
hooked. With the level of luster in the maroon, only the best
bright work will do. You see it in the main places like the
form-hugging bumpers and egg crate grille. But the shiny details
are right, too, like around the Rally wheels and outlining the
openings of the big block hood.
Inside, the correct saddle tan interior has a sophisticated
presentation against the maroon paint. The way the bucket seats,
door panels, carpeting, dash, and center console look demonstrate
more of the solid investment in this classic machine. Corvettes
have always been a great personal sports car in providing
performance features with plenty of creature comforts to make it a
great long-distance cruiser. As the driver, you get a three-spoke
steering wheel. Just ahead of that is the large dual pod gauges for
the speedo and tach, and just to the side are a full set of
auxiliary readouts. You can take off the T-tops and even remove the
rear window to listen to the roar of the engine. But if that
soundtrack is not sufficient, there's an AM/FM radio in the
dash.
There was plenty left in the restoration budget for the engine bay,
too. And you can tell by the mirror-like shine of the valve covers,
distributor shield, and air topper. But more than just look great,
you love this because it's the mighty 454 cubic-inch LS5 V8. You'll
love to know that this is the car's original numbers-matching
engine, and it even has a proper Rochester four-barrel carburetor
on top. This feeds the original Muncie M21-close-ratio four-speed
manual transmission to keep you in total control of the powerband.
The rear end is even correctly date coded for this '70 Stingray,
and it has 3.70 gears and Positraction for a great all-around
driving experience. Don't forget about all the best parts of
classic C3 Corvette ownership - the growling dual exhaust, the
grippy four-wheel disc brakes, and the superior handling of a fully
independent sports suspension.
This sale comes with title documentation and receipts documenting
the superior restoration. So you may want to hurry up and call us
now because you're far from the only one who desires this speedy
and well-sorted icon. Call now!
