Default *SOLD* '70 Coupe LS5 BB 4 Spd 67K Mi. #s Car

Recently inherited my uncle's prized 1970 big block 454 4 speed coupe. He is the 2nd owner. Purchased here in San Diego in 1977 with 63K miles. Now has just over 67K original miles. Yes, that's 100 miles a year. Car is exceptionally original and also because of mileage and garage only storage, is in great condition. Just don't find them like this very often at all. Custom-ordered Corvette Bronze on Saddle Vinyl. PS, NP disc brakes, N-11 exhaust, 3.55 rear-end, M21 transmission. Completely unmolested, zero rust. One repaint in '77 but is still exceptional with no fading, cracking, peeling, spider webs. Brilliant deep shine. All #s match from block, heads, carb, trans, rear-end, etc. Just look at that interior. Hasn't even been wiped down yet. Everything works (including wiper door, headlights, all gauges and clock, even fiber-optics). Pioneer Bluetooth custom radio. Can’t find Delco.
Car needs nothing besides a very slow leak at intake manifold. Very rare Corvette Bronze LS5 4 spd in true original survivor socal-for-life condition.

Asking a very reasonable $35K.

Info and pictures available to serious cash buyers only, thank you. I am debating whether to keep and partially restore or sell as is. No rush to sell. 619-577-3006 La Jolla, California

Thread has been re-opened after being edited. Please follow forum rules regarding Interference in a Sales thread before making posts please.


Interference in a For Sale thread

If you don’t like the price or item being offered in for sale thread, take it to e-mail or PMs. Better still, just move on to a thread that is offering something you like the price on.

If you post a criticism of the price or the quality of the item being offered, you will be in violation of Forum rules and subject to sanctions.

If you post your own for sale items to the for sale thread started by someone else, you also are in violation of Forum rules. Start your own thread, rather than jumping into the thread of someone else.

If your contribution to a for sale thread does not advance the sale, you are in the way.

Wish I could! Trust me. Children and home remodels have taken presedence. It truly is a rare and special car. Someone will be very happy with it.

New pictures. Cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Kept it all original, just elbow grease (and a new air cleaner decal). Removed steering wheel wrap. Incredibly clean and extremely original LS5 M21. I'm shocked it's still around.

Don't get discouraged it's a desireable car at a good price. But my guess is that you will get more action around the springtime. Patience is key. Hopefully I am wrong and it sells tomorrow.

No tilt/tele but hey it's not a massive '68 wheel! Not sure on cost but new column would do it.

No a/c (it's a San Diego car) and with T Tops never needed. Vintage Air is available for around $1K I believe. car has working heat so plumbing is there.

Thanks just listed on Ebay as well. It truly is a bargain at this price. Sold a '68 427/390 automatic way less original for $35K about 7 years ago! Very sad I can't keep it but hopefully it goes to a good home soon...
