For Sale: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

INTRODUCTION: Fresh looking body-off-frame restoration, detailed top to bottom-inside and out. Numbers-matching 350-350 hp motor, finished in its original colors. Equipped with power steering and power brakes, making it a true pleasure to drive.

EXTERIOR: Excellent body with very nice panel gaps and no signs of damage. Finished in its original Cortez Silver (per the trim tag) with evenly laid metallic and a deep, glossy clear coat. Only a few very minor flaws. Door jambs are nicely painted and weatherstrips have been replaced. Brightwork-including bumpers, emblems, mirrors, door handles, and antenna-looks new. Windshield has been replaced, original grille is in good condition, and taillights are new. Excellent black convertible top with new weatherstrips. Rides on like-new 15x8 Rally wheels with extra shiny trim rings and BFGoodrich tires.

INTERIOR: Completely restored interior. Seats have new cushions and upholstery, and the carpet has been replaced front to back with embroidered floor mats. Door panels and trim look new. The instrument panel and console are in excellent condition, with clear lenses, crisp gauges, a nice dash pad, and clean heater controls. Correct reverse lockout shifter with a new boot. Features a modern retro-style stereo and updated Quartz movement in the clock.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Numbers-matching 350 with optional 350 hp engine in a compartment restored to factory-correct appearance. Correct finned valve covers, chrome air cleaner, ignition shielding, and deep-groove pulleys. Equipped with power steering and power brakes. Wiring harness, wiper motor, alternator, and vacuum actuators appear new. Reproduction hoses and a new clutch fan complete the detailed presentation.

UNDERSIDE: Body-off restoration with the chassis completely disassembled and rebuilt. Front suspension fully rebuilt including ball joints, bushings, springs, shocks, steering components, and hardware. Power steering control valve replaced. Independent rear suspension also rebuilt with new bushings, shocks, and springs. Four-wheel disc brake system restored with new cables, lines, and hoses. Correct 1970 Muncie M20 4-speed transmission, rebuilt driveshaft, and correct 3.36 posi rear end. New correct dual exhaust with square tips exiting the valance. Clean fiberglass floors, excellent spare tire carrier, and a spotless engine underside. Presents like new underneath.

CONCLUSION: No shortcuts taken-attention was paid to every detail, even the small ones. A numbers-matching, 4-speed Corvette roadster restored body-off-frame and ready to enjoy. A fun car to drive and a smart addition to any collection.
