1970 Chevrolet Corvette for Sale

This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is finished in a unique color combination which makes its production numbers very low, having been driven just over 60,000 miles over its 52 years.

In its third year of production, the third-generation Corvette was enjoying unprecedented popularity, becoming a perennial winner of ''Car and Driver'' magazine's

Best All-Around Car Award. In 1970, it impressed its fans once again, partly on the strength of an ambitious quality-control program instituted by Chevrolet General Manager John De Lorean, but also as a result of a more powerful engine lineup that included the mighty little LT1 solid-lifter small-block and the hydraulic-cam LS5 454/390 HP big-block Mark IV engine.

The increase in displacement of the big-block engine was the first since 1966, when Zora Arkus-Duntov bored the original 396 CI engine out to 427 CI. The new 454 CI version shared the same 4.25-inch bore diameter, but it also employed a longer 4-inch stroke to increase torque output to a monstrous 500 lb-ft, 40 more than the

otherwise comparably equipped 1969 L36. While it could still shred the pavement, the LS5 engine's hydraulic cam made it more flexible and predictable at low speeds, a feature lauded by ''Road and Track'' magazine, which described the LS5 as ''the most tractable big-engine Corvette unit we've tried.

'' This unusual 1970 LS5 coupe combines its 6.9% of production Cortez Silver paint with its Green vinyl interior appointed with custom shoulder belts, a tinted windshield and an AM/FM CD radio. Its matching-numbers LS5 454/390 HP Turbo-Jet V-8 engine is teamed with a Muncie wide-ratio 4-speed, 3.36 Positraction rear end and power disc brakes behind BFGoodrich Silvertown 15 inch white-stipe

tires on Rally wheels. Other features include tilt-telescopic steering wheel, power steering, factory air condition, power windows and a dealer installed luggage rack.

There's never a bad time to buy a good Corvette, so if you're looking to add an impressive C3 to your collection, you've come to the right place!
