Default 1970 lt-1

Donnybrook Green w Saddle Interior. May 1970 production, Original drivetrain, missing a few (T.I, Carb,) original pieces. Only have a portion of the tank sticker but have talked with most of the previous owners. No doubts that it is an original car. Have owned for about 6 years but about to put it up for sale. Its a "20 footer" with blemishes so we can still take it out and enjoy it instead of keeping it garaged. Fun car!

Mike,

Don't think that I heard about the red car from Lustine... Any photos?

My old 1969 L-78 Nova sold new from Lustine Chevrolet as well. It was a well known "high performance" dealership in the area at the time. One of the 69 1969 ZL-1 Camaros was sold there as well.

Stan

Stan,
Red/red car is mid-December production. Came into North Carolina in 73, had 10 owners and was repossessed in the next 6 years, and has had three owners since. Hasn't run since mid-80s. Now runs, getting painted very slowly. Tapped lightly left front, otherwise straight body. I've had it 6-7 years. Has tank sticker that's been certified by NCRS.

Rev. Mike,

I had a chance to get a look at that White 71 in St. Louis! Darn nice original car!

How about some pictures of the two? In process is just fine! They're still LT-1's.

IIRC you bought these two "RIGHT"!

I'm with you Kevin... Would love to see photos!

Mike, two nice LT-1s AND the L-46? You're putting a really nice collection together!

Stan

That car is absolutely beautiful. I own a '72 roadster in Steel Cities Gray, equipped just as yours. The only problem with it: it's not an LT-1. (I still love it though).

Just saw your ad in the for sale section. I can't imagine it lasting long.
Good luck with the sale.

Great to know that a few more are out there. Pic of the trim tag added to the link (not the best pic, but legible). Where's the trust, man? LOL

Thanks, this is the second steel cities gray vette iv'e owned. I thought I would have no problem selling this car on the forum, but it seems like there are mostly tire kickers right now. Maybe it's not the right time to sell (holidays) the car, all though I am very motivated to sell it right now. Someone will get a good deal with the right offer!

Thanks guys for letting me join in. I haven't had a Corvette for a few years, but my old 72 LT-1 is what led me toward the 70Z. They are awesome small block motors.
