Overview of 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 For Sale by Owner

Those glorious years before the much hated Malaise Era were relative automotive heaven for petrolheads. Take 1970, for example. You could buy a third-generation or C3 Corvette with concept car looks and a stonking 454 big block under the hood. That’s what we have here, a 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 454 Coupe for sale from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Imagine how the first owner of this car must have felt upon taking delivery! Now, the car appears to have undergone a pretty comprehensive preservation to bring it up to near-factory state. Certainly, with just 22,394 miles on the clock, you too can re-live a fresh-new C3 Corvette experience if you wish.

Exterior and Interior

Coming to you in maroon, this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette is definitely a stunner. Its looks are inspired by the Mako Shark II concept car by Larry Shinoda, upon which Bill Mitchell merely tweaked here and there. The car has pop-up headlamps, muscular flanks, a luggage rack atop its rear deck, and side vents. It’s also got rear-exit exhausts, since some C3s have side-exit units. Meanwhile, the car rides on original-style wheels in silver, replete with period-correct white-lettered tires. The black interior of this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette appears as pristine as possible for something of this vintage. It’s a two-seat affair packed with old-school charm, analog gauges, a proper manual gear shifter and a nice sporty three-spoke steering wheel. The only visible upgrade is something that we wholeheartedly approve of; a retro-styled modern radio from Pioneer, replete with a cassette tape player. You’ve also got that fiber-optic alert system that tells you if an external lamp’s bulb is out – a simple but supremely useful feature that can save you from getting a ticket if you pay attention to it!

Engine

Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 454ci big-block V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, delivering the torque-rich, visceral driving experience that defined Chevrolet’s muscle-car era. The engine bay features driver-oriented updates such as an open-element air cleaner, chrome valve covers, and refreshed accessory components, favoring usability and presentation over factory-correct detailing. Power is sent through a four-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels, providing a direct and engaging connection that reinforces this Corvette’s identity as a well-sorted, road-ready big-block C3 meant to be driven and enjoyed.
