For Sale: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1970 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Zora Arkus-Duntov (December 25, 1909 - April 21, 1996) was a Belgian born American engineer whose work on the Chevrolet Corvette earned him the nickname "Father of the Corvette". He is sometimes erroneously referred to as the inventor of the Corvette, whereas that title belongs to Harley Earl. He was also a successful racing driver, taking class victories in 1954 and 1955 24 Heures du Mans.

For consignment, a 1970 Chevrolet Corvette with a title verified 71,592 actual miles. This California car retains its numbers matching drivetrain including the 350 horsepower 350ci V8 and Muncie M21 as well as a documented fully known history, Protect-O-Plate and window sticker.

Exterior
This shark with its chromed bumpers and lower chromed egg crate grille is in the sweet spot of the C3 years. Just prior to the performance killing EPA emissions add ons, and still enjoying chrome, the remainder of the body in fiberglass is a single stage coverage of Monza Red. Silver edge trim on the side gills accentuates the vents and the coveted scripted "Stingray" is above each. The side mirrors, window trim, rocker panel trim and the front and rear bumpers are in excellent condition. Meanwhile, body colored T-tops split the roof and look great as 15-inch turbines style wheel covers carry 225/70R15 redline tires at all four corners. In back, the epic quad tail light design lives on a vertical plane under the integrated and subtle rear spoiler, all just beyond the flying buttress sail panels behind the rear window. Imperfections are few and include two hairline cracks in paint and a broken door corner.

Interior
A swing of the sculpted doors reveals the original interior, and we see Saddle styled door panels which present nicely and include a simulated wood insert and carpeted, wedge shaped kick panel. Inside are Saddle leather high back buckets, column stitched and nicely cushioned in very good shape. The dash, center console, steering wheel center and carpet continue the saddle brown theme while black covers the wheel rim and the faceplate of the center gauge cluster. On the center console, features are highlighted on the black plastic topped by a black knob shifter and everything appears in nice condition. An AM/FM radio is on the center stack and in lieu of a glove box, document/map pockets sit in front of the passenger. Plush tan carpet covers the foot wells and the rear cargo area and completes the features of this clean interior.

Drivetrain
And here it is in all its glory, the numbers matching 350ci L46 V8 rated at 350 horsepower and fueled through a 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to the numbers matching Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission routing power to the rear axle where it finds 3.36 gears with Positraction that replace the original 4.11 posi. Power steering and power brakes are onboard and the bay presents cleanly.

Undercarriage
We find clean and dry conditions underneath with just a film of oil on the pan and minimal surface rust anywhere. The dual exhaust cleanly runs through stock style mufflers and exits through chrome square tips that fit into the trimmed gaps in the valance. Power disc brakes are at both ends and the fully independent suspension includes coil springs in front and a fully independent axle with transverse leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
"Baby, you're much too fast, yes you are....". The 350 never left home in this vintage Vette and provides plenty of power with great acceleration, very good handling and solid braking. And the cherry on top of this Monza Red Vette is that all functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

The wide and low stance of the car...with legs stretched out in front you...is reminiscent of a race car adding to the illusion that you are a world champion in training making your way around the Monza circuit! Here's a fantastic opportunity to land yourself a desirable number matching Stingray from 1970. This one is show and go worthy!
