1970 Corvette Convertible
If you missed out on the 70 gold convertible that was for sale on the forum, looks like you have a second chance to get it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-C3-Cor...%7C1000%7C2500

Looks like it was a dealer.
And it's not a correct color for a 70. Bummer about that.

You snooze you loose
that was probably one of the best cars for the money on here in a long time. Right along with all the adds on here looking for a car just like it.

Its not the correct color....People get to hung up on matching number vettes.....I mean a 63,an L-88 a tri power car, sure its better if its matching numbers.....Have seen many C-3 with powerful crate motors and better paint jobs than showroom which I rather have than an L-48,L-82 any day of the week..

If I didn't have my C3 convertible I would def take a look at this car.....The color wouldn't bother me.....I rather have a great paint job that wasn't the original color than a car that had the original color that looked like garbage......A nice paint job on a C3 vette can get real pricey....Plus a 383 stroker will out perform the original 350..

That was definitely the deal of the year and its a shame that someone bought it just to flip it quick without even having to touch it. It was hard to tell from sight unseen but looked like a steal for that money!!

Mechanical. Engine severely overheated this summer due to a bad heater core while in traffic. Engine never ran the same since. Carpet is toast due to the leakage. This is what the owner told me over the phone. I passed on the deal.

Hmm...I guess that explains it.....Sharp looking car though..Reasonably priced convertible stingrays are hard to come by....If the body is solid and interior can be cleaned up it still looks like a good deal if the seller is willing to negotiate....Pull out the motor and go with a 383 crate motor with a warranty and wa la, you have a nice strong cruiser that will turn heads..

id imagine if the guy was a dealer he would have to disclose known defects. Wonder if it was really fixed....ebays a great place to sell cars to people that cant view them. Just dont know what youre getting anymore
These cars are super old, they have to be seen and driven. Even a restored one does, who knows if it was well done or thrown together with some rattle can over rust?
