Vehicle Description
In an age where so many car enthusiasts alter and 'improve' their
classics, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find documented,
factory-correct award winners that are so authentic they could
almost pass as survivor cars. But this exclusive Chevy, sporting
calculated restoration as its sole alteration, is just that. As a
world class example of one of the best cars ever created, the
legendary Corvette, this Stingray has earned NCRS Top Flight
status, the NCRS Duntov Mark of Excellence, Bloomington Gold honors
and Best in Class at the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance. In
addition to being one of only 1,287 Corvettes fitted with LT-1
power in 1970, it sports correct, 1970-exclusive Donnybrooke Green
paint. And if you're looking for an exceptional collector car, it's
your chance to own an exclusive piece of American history!
THE AMERICAN DREAM
Perhaps Harley Earl's greatest creation, the Corvette proved GM's
Chevrolet juggernaut had the strength to truly be all things to all
people. And by the 1960s, Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus Duntov had
honed America's sports car into a world-class performer that wholly
embodied the ethos of the American Dream. Rolling out of Los
Angeles' Harry Mann Chevrolet in early 1970, this awesome Stingray
is a high performance icon that's been lovingly restored over the
course of 52 years. Detailing for the coupe's correct,
1970-exclusive Donnybrooke Green two-stage begins with bright,
stainless-trimmed grilles that center small parking lamps between a
thin bumper and subtle chin spoiler. Above that mirrored brow, a
cross-flag-branded header draws the eye to a stainless-trimmed hood
that bends bold LT-1 war paint at the foot of a vacuum operated
cowl. That cowl reflects chip-free glass that's framed by straight
stainless and capped with body-matched T-tops. At the sides of that
glass, flush door poppers and classy "Stingray" scripts perfectly
complement a polished driver's mirror, intricate fender gills and
requisite rocker guards. And at the back of the car, a
stainless-trimmed, "CORVETTE" branded valance hangs a polished tag
pocket and dual-mode tail lamps between thin bumpers, an ornate
fuel filler and polished exhaust tips.
YEP, IT'S AN LT-1 CAR
Beneath the sculpted hood you'll find an original, 350 cubic inch
LT-1 that hangs a correct 3970010 casting number behind a correct
"CTU" suffix stamp and a matching 407154 partial VIN. Fitted to
just 1,287 Corvettes in 1970, that epic small block utilizes solid
lifters, a high-lift cam and a high performance rotating assembly
to twist stout 11 to 1 compression into an even 370 horsepower! At
the peak of that pavement-scorching mill, a polished and decaled
air cleaner swirls wind in to a familiar Winters intake by way of a
correct LIST 4489 Holley. At the sides of that plane, cast iron
heads hang finned valve covers over correct 'ram's horn' exhaust
manifolds. At the back of those heads, chrome-capped transistorized
ignition sequences spark through sleeved plug wires. And in front
of those wires, era-correct smog equipment frames a beefy radiator.
Naturally, ancillary components are exact in every way, with
pliable GM hoses and an old school brake booster accompanying
stainless fuel lines, tight tower clamps and a correct 1100884
Delco alternator. And bright Chevy Orange engine skin is seated in
a clean, Satin Black frame.
AS IT SHOULD BE
Peer under this low-slung Chevy and you'll find a familiar factory
chassis that's straight, solid and ready to roll. The car's stout
small block twists torque through an original Muncie 4-speed, which
hangs a correct 3925661 casting number in front of a 1970 (0)
Muncie (P) M21 (B) assembled on January (A) 13th (13) assembly
stamp and a matching 407154 partial VIN. That tough transmission
twists power to a "CFA" branded differential, which spins a correct
posi-traction differential around correct 3.70 gears. Beneath that
drivetrain, a factory suspension combines sporty manual steering
with factory-optioned power-assisted discs. True-dual pipes shuttle
spent gases through throaty turbo mufflers. And all that high
quality hardware rides on handsome Chevrolet Rally Wheels, which
lap F70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread tires.
GREEN-ON-GREEN
Slip behind this Stingray's doors and you'll find a correct Green
interior that's founded on firm vinyl buckets. A familiar dash
hangs an array of black-trimmed telemetry above a familiar Delco
AM/FM radio. At the base of that dash, a tapered console frames a
factory shifter. Corvette-themed floor mats split the difference
between clean carpet and stainless-trimmed foot pedals.
Weather-free door panels front factory-optioned power windows. And
the driver spins a satin-spoke steering wheel around an optional
tilt and telescoping column.
Coveted and cherished, this national award-winning Chevy is a
documented, highly exclusive collectable that's ready to be
celebrated and enjoyed. With top-notch preservation, major
provenance and more style than pretty much anything on the road,
the car literally defines the term "investment grade". Looking for
