Vehicle Description
With an ultra-desirable factory color, five-speed upgrade, and nice
investments in the numbers-matching V8, this 1970 Chevrolet
Corvette convertible is a great way to join the camaraderie of the
'Vette nation while remaining distinctive in all the best ways.
Corvette fans know that having code-982 Donnybrooke Green is a very
cool rarity. Only available in 1970, it feels like there are hints
of gold underneath the olive just as soon at the sunlight hits it.
This one is coming off of long term ownership, and so it has been
treated with respect over its low mileage lifetime. That even
includes a respray of the special green. Beyond just the color,
there's something great about the early C3 design. It combines the
long and low American look with the flat-back styling of the
Europeans. This car appears to have been well maintained throughout
its life, with the fiberglass panels fitting nicely to hug the
body's every curve. These earlier C3s are also for the brightwork
lovers, so the bumpers and rocker panels have a nice mirror-like
shine. And of course, no classic Chevy sports car looks complete
without the iconic Rally wheels.
The tan folding roof has a timeless look against the green
exterior, and so we are especially glad that you get that same
appeal with the roof down, too. Saddle leather bucket seats are a
great piece to have. Plus, it's surrounded by great looking tan
pieces on the carpet, door panels, and dash. A car like this was
built around the driver. That's why you have a three-spoke sports
steering wheel, just ahead of that is the large speedo and tach,
and to the side are the full auxiliary readouts at eye-level. And
have you counted the gears on the stick shift yet?
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8.
But that's not his car's whole story. It was fully rebuilt in 2002
with all the best enhancing and fortifying components (we have the
specs and dyno sheet to show the added performance.) Plus, we have
thousands $$$$ in receipts documenting professional upgrading in
2012. Today, this V8 includes aluminum heads, a Holley Quick Fuel
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and custom headers. Plus,
you have the ideal control over this enhanced V8 and its rumbling
soundtrack thanks to the five-speed manual transmission upgrade.
This is a strong runner, which is exactly what you want in a
classic Stingray. After all, with a fully independent sports
suspension, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, it's a terrific
driver.
The sale comes with owner's manual, build receipts, and even the
original four-speed transmission if so desired. This Stingray has
its rare original color and factory-installed motor. It also has
all the right upgrades without sacrificing its vintage spirit.
That's why we know this green machine is a golden value that'll be
leaving us quickly. Call today!!!
