This 1969 Phase III sold at auction in March for $136,400 (don't know if that was with commission or not). In Motion speak Phase III was performance work and GT was the body kit. It was possible to get one without the other as this car shows.

That's a ZR-1, not an LT-1.

Different option package. OP made no mention of ZR-1.

When you are dealing with a Motion modded Corvette (meaning someone just had it worked on there) EVERYTHING was ala carte. The car in question is a small block car (all the Phase III's were big blocks). Anyway, another Phase III GT.

I thought if I remember correctly it had a motor out of a later Camaro? The car was a none power car also without a tilt-tel column. I was trying to run the numbers on it when I looked at it but had trouble with my phone. The car looked like it had probably been raced. Defiantly Could be a fun project.

I know this is splitting hairs, but a ZR1 is a radio/fan shroud delete LT1 with other HD parts added (like brakes). Might be less than 1% of total LT1 production but it's still an LT1. From the Corvette Blogger article....

In addition to the LT1, the ZR1 package included an M22 rockcrusher 4-speed heavy duty transmission, J56 Heavy duty power brakes, transistorized ignition, special aluminum radiator and a suspension that included special springs, shocks and front and rear stabilizer bars.

Production of the ZR1 was limited to 1970-1972, the same three year time span of the LT1 engine. During that three year run, only 53 cars were ordered with RPO ZR1: 25 in 1970, 8 in 1971 and 20 in 1972. The ZR1′s of the 1970′s are the rarest small block Corvette ever produced.
