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.

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Current Ask
$89,999

The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from the heart of the C2 era, when the Corvette had already matured into a genuinely serious American sports car without losing the raw character that made the Sting Ray famous. This example leans heavily into that character. Showing 19,053 miles, it pairs a 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission, then adds the kind of period-style attitude enthusiasts gravitate toward: side-mount exhaust, knock-off-style turbine wheels, and a vivid Sunfire Yellow finish over a black interior. The current owner reports more than $83,000 invested into the build, with attention extending beyond cosmetics into the cooling system, ignition components, timing hardware, and other supporting mechanical upgrades. What makes this car appealing is that it still delivers the classic C2 experience in the way enthusiasts want it: small-block V8 up front, manual gearbox in the middle, drive going to the rear, and very little standing between the driver and the car. The side pipes give the Corvette a more aggressive presence and soundtrack, while the custom paint and wheel setup emphasize the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the midyear Corvette one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs.

By 2008, the C6 Corvette had matured into one of the strongest all-around American performance cars of its era, and this example combines the right mechanical hardware with an unusually extensive equipment list. Showing 50,966 miles, this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is equipped with the desirable 3LT Preferred Equipment Group and Z51 Performance Package, pairing the LS3 V8 with a six-speed manual transmission, 3.42:1 limited-slip rear axle, and dual-mode performance exhaust. It was also specified with the GCA Ultimate Package, adding a collection of appearance upgrades that give this Victory Red Corvette a more distinctive presence than a typical C6. An aftermarket front splitter and audio head unit add further personalization while retaining the fundamental character that makes a manual Z51 C6 such an appealing enthusiast car.

The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible sits at the heart of the early C3 era, pairing dramatic styling with the kind of mechanical specification that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 5,672 miles, this example is finished in Monza Red over a Black interior and is equipped with the desirable L46 350ci V8 rated at 350 horsepower. A 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle keep the driving experience firmly enthusiast-focused, while power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes add useful road manners. Chrome Rally wheels, a black convertible soft top, and the unmistakable Stingray bodywork give the exterior its period-correct presence, while the cabin retains the classic twin-cowl dash, center console, and auxiliary gauge layout. An aftermarket steering wheel, manual shifter, air cleaner, and JVC audio head unit add a handful of personalized touches without taking away from the car’s classic Corvette character.

The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is already one of the most serious modern American performance cars, combining supercharged V8 power, a six-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and Magnetic Ride Control in a package built to run with far more exotic machinery. This example takes that formula several steps further. Showing approximately 16,439 miles, it has been extensively upgraded around a Magnuson 2650 supercharger setup with supporting fuel, valvetrain, exhaust, cooling, and drivetrain hardware. A Satin Black vinyl wrap over Riverside Blue Metallic, aftermarket wheels, BMR springs, an aftermarket spoiler, and an Anderson carbon fiber wing give it the visual presence to match the mechanical work underneath. For the enthusiast who wants a manual ZL1 that goes well beyond bolt-on territory, this is the kind of build that delivers both attitude and substance.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.
