Vehicle Description
Offered for sale is a beautifully restored 1970 Corvette Stingray convertible, with a numbers matching professionally rebuilt 350/300HP engine, and original automatic transmission. The car was repainted in 2005, and features a stunning shine in the same Bridgehamption Blue (code 979) this Stingray originally left the factory with in 1970. The chrome is in excellent condition, and really shines.
The paint and body are in great condition, with only a few minor flaws. All instruments are in good working condition, including the new vacuum line enabled hideaway headlights and windshield wipers. The powerful 350/30HP engine starts easily, runs strong, and does not overheat. The engine and engine compartment are very clean and detailed, and features just the right amount of eye catching chrome. The original exhaust manifolds have been replaced with headers for a more aggressive look and increased horsepower. With a restored suspension, this car runs tight and right, and is very fast and fun!
The bright blue interior is in good condition, as is the new black convertible soft top. This C3 features new carpet (professionally installed). A new NOS radiator was installed, as well as newer Flowmaster Series 40 mufflers that really make for a loud, aggressive, and great sound. All factory trim is included, and correctly installed. The car features tilt-steering, power steering and power disc brakes. The factory static reducing electronic shielding and chrome exhaust tips are included, but not presently installed on the car. The car features an updated, yet correct retro in appearance, car stereo with a USB connector, and upgraded speakers in back of the seats. Included with sale is a folder of well documented restoration receipts and information.
This is an absolutely fantastic Corvette Stingray, that is in excellent running condition, and beautifully restored. It is a favorite at car shows and cruise-ins. While firm, fast and fun, the automatic transmission makes this car very easy to drive. This 1970 Corvette Stringray is also a great investment.
The 1970 Corvette was enhanced to overcome the production issues associated with the earlier year C3 Corvettes, and was the first year to introduce factory fender flares. It was one of the last years with both front and back chrome bumpers. Also,1970 was a very low production year due to a labor strike at GM, making this Corvette even more valuable. Finally, with 2014 being the re-introduction of the Stringray model of Corvette, the original generation of Corvette Stingrays are sure to become even more valuable. With a NADA and Hagerty Insurance value range on a 1970 Corvette Stingray Convertible with a 350/300HP as high as $65K, a Stringray of this restored quality and originality is a great value at this price.
