1970, tilt wheel, power steering, electric windows. Someone had installed the 69 side pipes before I purchased it. Was going to remove them. Put factory rally wheels back on. Engine was stock LS5. 4-speed. Still had the original Cortez silver paint and red vinyl interior. Black soft top only.

awesome. love the color combo and those rims. They were really popular back in the mid to late 1970s. My brother bought Bobby Clarks Ontario orange 72 big block back after the flyers won the cups in 75/76 and those aluminum slotted rims were on it. Very cool

jr, thanks for the note. While I like the price...only cause I already have one, I know enough now to be watchful of auctions

Certainly a nice car but a couple of things bother me personally. Don't care for the luggage rack, extra mirror, or the black interior with the Mulsanne Blue.

And that frame did not look too great from a paint/resto standpoint considering how flowery the write up was

Another blue/blue LS5 vert in the 8000 vin range just ended on eBay with a high bid of only 30k.Very nice looking 454.There are some very LS5's currently on eBay with prices from mid 30k up to 56k.That Bronze LS5 sold about a month ago for 50k and there was a very nice looking red coupe for sale for 52k that did not sell.Seems like prices are all over the place right now for 454's.
