72 Pewter silver LT1 coupe 77k miles all option except air and rear defog. Pulled the 2 page build sheet from between the tach and speedo last year while replacing the clock. Scored a 97.3 top flight in august 2013. Some owner history.
I have a 1972 Elkhart green coupe with a saddle tan deluxe interior, ps, pb, t/t, am/fm stereo. My next door neighbor bought the car new in MT. Kisco, NY in 1972 and took me for a ride (I was 17 years old) I bought the car from him in 1982 with 38,500 miles on it and did a frame off from 2003 to 2005
I own a 1970 LT-1 Convertible Green/Green, 2 tops, AM/FM Stereo, Factory Alarm, 4:11 Axle. sold new at Lannan Chevrolet Woburn Mass. I have owned it since 1974. Have tank sticker and original bill of sale from dealer. Have not driven the car for 20 years.
The thread is asking who has a LT1, not asking for "situations".

I'd think it's 'relatively' small based on the number of ads that begin " LT-! for sale, CE block", or "LT-! for sale, crate motor", or "I'm looking at an LT-!, the motor is missing, how can I tell if it's a real LT-!?").
LT-! cars with NO "situations" to be explained are quite a nice find.

Hi Alan,
Yes, I agree it would be very interesting to know how many engines lasted the beatings many must have taken.
The previous owner of my car drove it daily for two years had kids then put it away for the occasional run.
These "special" models need constant defense of their mileage, engines, parts in general.... Even more so when trying to sell one.
Around 77-79 at the local cruise spot a blue LT-1 would come in, I knew the hood was different, I could hear the solid lifters, I honestly do not recall the year but recall how other people at the cruise would boast that this is the mouse that roars, it will beat the big block of 19XX , I do not know if that was the case but it sounded good....
While I have always been a bb person one of the vettes that never left my mind because of all the mystic it had for me was the LT-1.
For me these are almost like Bigfoot or Nessie......

1970 convertible. Very nice.
I had one as well, red, but was originally white. 4:11 gears also. Heads were milled a lot and had aftermarket pistons and cam. It ran 12.60 thru the mufflers on Radial T/As. I had figured due to the GM strike in 70, that your Vette is one of the rarest out there. I should have kept mine. Have any photos?
