1970 ls5 WIW

This is a very very junk rough numbers matching 1970 ls5 car. I was asked to try to sell. Just looking for a rough starting point.

Besides the body in so terrible shape, the engine is also locked up.

Baton Rouge, La.

And yes, original color was likely some kind of blue because under the red it's blue. Pretty sure it was an a/c car also.

I'll find the trim tag info.

It looks like some of the interior may already be removed....If so post some pics of the kick panel areas....Frame pics will help determine if it's worth saving as well.

Thanks. Never dealt with a corvette. More of a 67-68 Camaro guy with a couple Novas and Chevelles. Don't really know the trouble areas of these cars. I will get some pics of the frame and behind kick panels if possible.

Yep. LS6 was just '71 with the Vette, meanwhile the LS5 dropped from 390 to 365 HP from '70 to '71 with a lower compression ratio. That makes '70 LS5 cars somewhat more desirable than '71 or '72.

Hi P,
I'd begin by offering $250 for someone to come and remove it.
If the are no takers, try raising to $500.
Regards,
Alan

your big worry is the birdcage, or frame that holds the windshield in, frame also esp the kickup area in front of the rear wheels. I dunno man..that is just too much work. Vette parts aint cheap either that one will need a nut and bolt everything. Way tougher than restoring Camaros dont touch it.
