Default 1970 Coupe

After thirteen years of ownership, it is time for a new adventure, This coupe is equipped with the mighty 454 CID LS 5, Power steering, 3:08 limited slip differential , and M-20 transmission.
This is numbers matching car with 107,xxx miles on the clock.Unfortunately the tank sticker, window sticker and POP are all long gone.


The most recent repairs include:
2021

Battery replaced

Alternator and carburetor rebuilt
2018:

Differential rebuilt by Bair"s Corvette
Transmission rebuilt by Ed Hartnett
Shifter rebuild kit installed
New oilite pilot bushing, LUK flywheel, pressure plate and clutch disk and National Bearing throw out bearing.

New differential cross member bushings

2013

Windshield Frame repaired/replaced by County Corvette, West Chester, PA
Windshield replaced with a Pilkington with LOF inscription
All four wiring harnesses replaced with 3 M&H harnesses and a Lectric Limited engine harness

There have numerous other repairs and upgrades with corresponding receipts..

The fiber optics work. The parking brakes does hold the car. The passengers side trailing arm was replaced by the previous owner about ten years ago and has about 4 to 5000 miles on it. The driver's side was tight and smooth when I checked while replacing the differential. All gauges and lights work.. The vacuum actuators for the headlights and wiper door were resealed and re-plated and the wiper door vacuum sequence switch(not sure of the name at the moment) was replaced with the made in the USA version from Wilcox Corvette. The transmission mount and rear snubber were replaced. The master cylinder is correct for the car. The previous owner replaced all of the brake lines with stainless steel. I installed an updated fan clutch and seven blade fan and still have the one that was originally on the car. A previous owner replaced the brake calipers with stainless steel.sleeved versions and they do not leak.
All of the engine compartment vacuum hoses have bee replaced with kits from Dr. Rebuild. Also, the vacuum relays have been rebuilt and re-plated. The previous owner had the steering box rebuilt about 10 years ago and it also have about 4-5000 miles on it. The rear spring and anti-sway bars were replaced by the previous owner and I am in possession of the originals. I also have the original oil filler and radiator caps. The TCS system is installed and fully functional.

Asking price is $33995.00. All reasonable offers will be considered.

Thanks for looking.

Gotta love that Daytona Yellow. It sure isn't subtle and it sure gets noticed.
Must have been a 70's thing.

I am interested in your 1970 454. A couple of quick questions
- has the engine had any work done / rebuild?
- where is the car?
- can you forward additional photos

My email address is jeffbrenwick@gmail.com

Thanks
