hidden windshield wipers and hidden headlights, Chevrolet?s halo
car, the Corvette, soldiered into its third model year for the
second-generation in 1970. This numbers matching big block 454
example is a very original and rare ?Vette (one of only. 6,648
convertibles made in 1970 and very few in this color and options)
that spent some time in Medford, New York. This Corvette is loaded
with options such as 454 LS5, 4-speed, factory air-conditioning,
power steering, power brakes, tilt and telescoping steering column,
tinted glass, factory theft alarm, fiber-optic warning light
monitoring and headlight washers. This Corvette was assembled in
GM?s factory in north St. Louis, Missouri on or about July 2, 1970
(VIN code S) as were all Corvettes from 1954 until mid-1981.
Finished in Bridgehampton Blue (code 979), a Corvette-only color
that year, the car?s paint and trim are in overall very good order.
The contrasting white power-folding soft-top looks great. The car?s
chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body and the engine bay is very
tidy. This two-seater rolls on Goodyear Polyglas white letter
radials, size F70-15 at every corner. Each tire is mounted to a
factory turbine-style rally wheel. The wheels and tires are all in
very good condition. Under the forward-hinged hood is a numbers
matching 454 Turbo-Fire ?Rat? V-8 engine (code# CZU RPO LS5,
70S414128). This motor is backed by a numbers matching Muncie
four-speed, wide-ratio manual transmission (code M20 #P0H15A,
70S414128). Driver convenience features include factory
air-conditioning (code C60), power steering (code N40), power
brakes, tilt and telescoping steering column (code N37) plus tinted
glass, a factory theft alarm, fiber-optic warning lamp monitoring
and headlight washers. Open the driver?s door to see the blue vinyl
interior (code 411). The bucket seats look great, as does the
matching carpet. The typical, three-spoke Corvette steering wheel
is present while the dash, with its large circular speedometer and
tachometer is in good, original order, as are the inner door panels
but the odometer and the wipers are inoperable. A console-mounted
shifter and a factory AM/FM radio complete the interior. For 1970,
the fender flares were designed into the body contours to reduce
wheel-thrown debris damage. New were eggcrate grills with matching
front fender side vents and larger squared front directional lamps.
The previously round dual exhaust outlets were made larger and
rectangular in shape. Interiors were tweaked with redesigned seats
and a new deluxe interior option combined wood-grain wood accents
and higher-spec carpeting with leather seat surfaces. Positraction
rear axle, tinted glass and a wide-ratio four-speed manual
transmission were now standard. The LS5 was a 454 CID motor
generating 390 horsepower and accounted for a quarter of the cars
sold. Convertible competition to this Corvette in 1970 included
Ferrari?s 365 Daytona, Jaguar?s E-Type and Maserati?s Ghibli
Spider. If you enjoy pre-emissions era 454 Corvettes, this is one
you shouldn?t pass up. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to
