For sale is my 1970 LT-1 that I have owned for approx. 6 years. It’s a great car, I’m just selling this and a C2 (64 conv) to go after a 65-67 convertible. The car scored a 2nd flight in NCRS judging from back in 2000. It is what I would consider a 20 footer, meaning it could use paint or it could be driven and enjoyed (what I have done). The car has never given me any issues and starts and runs great. All around fun car and a good one to have if you are wanting a good solid chrome bumper, desired option car. First year of the LT-1, low volume, even less in convertible form (<500? produced), last year before emissions started to kick in. Has less than 80,000 miles on it.


I am approx. the 8th owner. It spent most of its life in Ohio. Was originally delivered to and sold by Lyman Chevrolet in Kent, Ohio with a build date of May 7, 1970. The car came originally with the hard top but that was sold off separately (along with the carb) in the 90s. The car passed through private owners but was briefly sold to/purchased from Mershons (once 1991?, another 1999?) World of Cars. Overall the car has some surface rust but the birdcage and all undercarriage is solid.

The main (in my mind) pieces that are original are the engine and transmission. More details below.


Motor #s
Front 70S408638 V0302CTU
Back #s 8870010
Additional # stamped on pad above the original number. From talking to previous owners it was done by a speed shop in Ohio back in the 80s when they freshened up the motor.

Trans: M-21 4 Speed Manual Close Ratio Rear End 3:70

Trim Tag
418 Saddle Vinyl Interior
942 Donneybrook Green

Exterior: Car had bounced off a guard rail back in the 70s on the right front. The top is a correct dated coded with the tag still on it. Had it installed a couple years ago.

Interior: Believed to still be original, shows normal wear but no tears and is very presentable. 6500 RPM Tach, 370 HP ID plate on console

Mechanical: Numbers matching LT-1 350/370 HP and transmission. Missing pieces that I know of; AIR system (previous owner did replace and add the correct manifolds with plugs but the rest is missing), Carburetor, Transistor Ignition.

Documentation: A portion of the tank sticker was there but not the part that shows the LT option. Have spoken to several of the previous owners back into the 70s and no doubt it is real.


I will try to answer any questions that you have. Feel free to PM me here or send a message to threadbaron@yahoo.com. The yahoo e-mail is much easier to check.

Price $34,500

To be honest this is a FANTASTIC deal! If I already had my 1964 Impala Convertible sold I would be all over this. I will make a push to get it finished up. Maybe I will get lucky and it will move fast enough. I really doubt you will have this for sale very long though - sweet Vette!

Thanks for the nice comments , the car is far from perfect but I do think it is more than a fair deal! Good luck with your sale, I had a 64 Impala convertible (yellow) as well.

Bruce,
Here are a couple pics, 1 of the tank sticker and another of the view I had when i dropped the tank to get it. Disappointing that there was not enough left to see the LT-1 part. I have held out slim hope that there may be one behind the gauge cluster but I never pulled the dash or took a camera to look for it.

I have not advertised the 64 yet on here, I will send you a PM with details.

I appreciate the interest so far. Feel free to request any additional details and I will get back to you.

Lots of postive feedback and some interest. Just a bump to get it back to the top.

When NCRS judged what did the judge(s) say, if anything , about the extra number on the engine pad?


Thanks,


Bill

Hey Bill,

No mention of it in the scoringg sheets, the car got full points for matching numbers for the motor. They check the cylinder case for correct casting #'s, dates, assembly stamping, Vin derivative and the stamp pad surface finish. Since the judging was done when the previous owner had the car not sure if it was part off the conversation or not. The more people I talk to tell me it was common practice for a machine shop to stamp their own numbers for identification. No idea what was done to it but one previous owner told me it was "freshened up".

Intriguing LT-1 at a very fair price. Thanks for getting back with me. Certainly has the wheels turning.
