Default LT1 corvette

I’m starting the search for a LT1. My father used to have one back in the day (‘72 targa blue). I actually drove it to my Sr prom. It was one of my favorite cars that we have owned thru the years (that and a ‘69 jade green Mach1…but that is another story). Unfortunately, the Vette eventually got sold. The good news is that I am now in a position to get one so the hunt is on.

does anyone have any knowledge or background on either the blue ‘70 at fast lane classics or the silver ‘72 at Harwood motors?

I know the LT1 at fastlane. I don't like the engine stamping on it. It was for sale on facebook recently in St. Louis. The owner bought it from fastlane a few years ago and listed it. I reached out to him about the engine stamp and I guess he decided to sell the car back to fastlane. This 72 LT1 with AC is one of the best examples in the country:https://thevettenet.com/details/1002...blue-t-top-lt1

Thanks for the info on the engine stamping. The linked one is definitely nice and the right color, but a little outside my budget right now.
