....Good point.....and have to find one before we can put a price on it. It has been many years since I've seen one and that was in a magazine. Certainly, the ZR-1s are 6 figure cars and maybe with a 2 as the first digit. Have you seen the ZR-2 on Roy Sinor's web site at half-a-million?

Taking the best of the Z/28s, which is the '69, versus the best of the LT-1s, which is 1970, the difference in production is quite significant. However, desireability is in large part a function of rarity and popularity. While the Z/28 is not low production, it was very popular. While the LT-1 is low production, it was not well known. The 427 was a memory by 1970 and horsepower was on the decline starting in 1971. And the LS6 did not make Corvette production in 1970. So, the high-performance LT-1 was the only real performance engine and it was not cheap at over $400, I believe.
Every dog has its day, and the LT-1s are now starting to receive the recognition for what they were intended to be. If anyone has any doubts about the performance, they only need to drive one. It's an absolutely thrilling experience.

All we need now is music from 1970 to make it authentic. "American Woman get away from me...American mama let me be"..

Although the second gen Camaro crowd love to refer to the Camaro Z28 package as having the LT-1 engine, they are not the same. I remember Duntov cringing, every time a Camaro enthusiast referred to the '70 - '72 Z28's as LT-1 cars. Here are the comparisons for production.
'70 Camaro Z28 8733 produced.... '70 Corvette LT-1 1287 produced.
'71 Camaro Z28 4862 produced.... '71 Corvette LT-1 1949 produced
'72 Camaro Z28 2575 produced.... '72 Corvette LT-1 1741 produced

I have a line on a '70 ZR-1, just waiting for the opportunity to acquire it.
Sinor's ZR-2 for sale was one that I bid on at Bloomington Gold back in 2004. The auction reserve was 400K, I had bid the car to 200K. The Ontario orange convertible had the original Corvette Order Copy, but the blocks stamp pad was decked. Car was ordered as M22, 3:55 drivetrain.
I'm adding the ZR2 package to my other LS6, have installed F41, will add J56 & V01. Just won't say ZR2 on the Corvette Order Copy sheet though.

...also last year, a "certain" NW Ohio Corvette Dealer sold a pair of 1972 Elkhart Green "bookend" LT-1 with A/C cars-one a coupe, one a convertible at Barrett-Jackson Amelia Island, Florida auction for $156K.

So, does your spare that's never been on the ground match those original wheels/tires??
Sorry, couldn't resist.Dave

Thanks JR. I paid a good buck a few years back and people probably thought I was crazy. And they probably think I am crazy for the price I am asking today. But it is hard to find another unrestored one (Dave's is nice) with ALL the credentials. I have other cars that I will hang on to and I am not looking forward to the day when the car is being taken to a new home-- assuming that happens. The '70 LT-1 convertible has been a car that I always wanted and believe it or not I wanted the Donny Brooke green. Being original paint, the color is gorgeous. I am not a paint expert, but I have learned that because the pigments have changed in the formulas that today's paint does not match the original. That's why I like original paint cars painted by the factory. They only look that way one time.
