1970 Chevrolet Corvette

1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray LS5 454, TRUE SURVIVOR, NCRS TOP FLIGHT AWARD WINNER, ONE FAMILY OWNED FOR 55 YEARS, NUMBERS MATCHING, INCREDIBLE DOCUMENTATION & HISTORY! Past & Present Motor Cars is extremely proud to offer this exceptional 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a genuine LS5 454 Big Block, 4-Speed Corvette with remarkable history, outstanding documentation, an extraordinarily rare combination of options, and the kind of provenance serious Corvette collectors search years to find. This is not simply another restored Corvette. This is a TRUE SURVIVOR with an incredible story. Remaining with the same family for approximately 55 years, this Corvette came to us from the twin brother of the original owner. Even more impressive is the remarkable paper trail accompanying the car, documenting its history all the way back to when it was originally ordered new. Among the most fascinating pieces of documentation is an original letter from John DeLorean thanking the original owner for purchasing the first Big Block 454 Corvette ever! Also included is the original blue-pen signed buyer's order from when the Corvette was ordered, along with its original window sticker, tank sticker, Protect-O-Plate, and extensive supporting documentation. The incredible provenance doesn't stop there. This Corvette is an NCRS Top Flight Award Winner, further recognizing the quality, authenticity and significance of this very special automobile. Under the hood is its Numbers Matching LS5 454 Cubic Inch Big Block V8, factory rated at an impressive 390 horsepower. Backing the big block is its Numbers Matching Muncie M20 4-Speed Manual Transmission, delivering exactly the type of driving experience you want from a high-performance C3 Corvette. The car also retains its date-coded rear end, further adding to the integrity of this remarkable drivetrain. Adding tremendously to the car's appearance and history is a dealer-installed factory L88 hood and induction system, including the intake, carburetor and air cleaner. The aggressive L88-style hood looks absolutely at home over the legendary 454 Big Block and gives this already special Corvette an unmistakable presence. Finished in striking Code 51 Daytona Yellow, this Corvette commands attention from every angle. Daytona Yellow is one of those iconic colors that looks right at home on an early chrome-bumper C3 Corvette, especially when combined with the unmistakable styling, proportions and big-block performance of the 1970 Stingray. What makes this Corvette even more extraordinary is its incredible factory option combination. This Corvette was ordered with virtually every option available on a Corvette in 1970, creating an extremely rare group of options for a Big Block Corvette. The extensive equipment is documented right on the original window sticker. It even features the seldom-seen factory security alarm system. The car was also equipped with Four Seasons Air Conditioning and factory-ordered smog delete, a particularly unusual combination on a Big Block Corvette. The air-conditioning system has since been converted to R134a and is currently working, making this Corvette even more enjoyable to drive.
