Default 1970 LS5 on EBay 70k

All original paint 70 LS5 on eBay for 70k really nice original. As a 70 LS5 owner good to see the high price. The LS5 haters will call it unrealistic and it probably is BUT about time the LS5' s get some respect.

Sounds good to me. A rising tide lifts all boats. Bring it on.

Some very interesting 70 LS5's on eBay right now prices from 32k for a all original LS5 to 52k all the way up to 70k for the blue one. There is a green BG Survivor also that was listed for 48k and now listed for 42k.

I like it! There's definitely been an upward trend in '70 LS5 pricing in the last year or so.

As you know, people on this forum mostly believe that these cars are cheap. Most searching for help when trying to buy a car are given very unrealistic prices. Real cars with real drivelines (and original paint) are sought after collectibles to many people. They always bring real prices to the right buyers.

Hi,
If you step back, real cars usually tell their own story… they generally don't need any added hype or explanations/excuses.
Regards,
Alan

Gorgeous car and I hope it sells for a million. Im a big fan of the "rising tide raises all boats" philosophy.

However, I don't think that because someone doesn't agree on market value with a certain models' owners, it makes him a "hater."

The hater remark I made is not meant toward any person BUT the general overlooking of the LS5 in general.

regarding the green one, remember a 10 year old survivor award may not mean much, so be careful. but nice old correct car.

the blue one, 69k for a major paint boo boo is a little tough to consider, but looks real nice otherwize.

both above are coupes and one would think that if they were convertibles they would command 20% more.

the blue convertible for 48 looks to be more realistic.

always expect to toss a couple of grand into the car after a purchase to get it to where you might want it.

as usual doc and rust and originality and coupe/convertible will cause the prices to skew all over the place. and as stated in a previous post, a real no excuses car will command 70K. but a real no excuses car will be very hard to find.

Not that this example, isn't a real beauty, but there are several items under that hood that have been "touched".

I feel many here, with value comments, keep the prices lower than one would expect on such pieces of art!

When my friend owned the yellow one it was untouched and drove like new. Other than the AC he left it alone.
