Overview of 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

In the year 1970, America's premiere sports car, the Corvette, was in its third generation and flaunted an exciting new design patterned after the Mako Shark II. The C3 Corvette gained further fame after the crew of Apollo 12 owned custom-painted C3 Corvettes as a result of the company offering free lease for astronauts. The C3 generation set new sales records and was the second model to use the Stingray name on a Corvette. That makes this particular listing — a lovely 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible — a classic icon with a rich heritage. According to reports, this car boasts a frame-off restoration completed in 2016 and a new engine with less than 500 miles on it.

Exterior and Interior

The C3 Corvette captures the essence of the Mako Shark II with its pointed front, long gill slits, and hips that are shaped like fins. Our subject car has reportedly been repainted during the restoration in the alluring Monza Red. Contrasting the red paint, the convertible soft top is finished in new black material. The car sits on a set of new OEM-style 15-inch wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich radial tires. Behind the shiny new wheels hide fully restored brakes with new parts installed. The newly replaced side exit exhaust with headers brings out the retro sporty spirit of this C3. Meanwhile, the interior of the C3 is kept simple, with the focus being the beautiful black-rimmed steering wheel, billet shift knob, and big round gauge cluster. The current owner also reports the installation of new glass parts, completing the restoration.

Engine

The C3 was offered with varying engine packages from the factory, but the owner of this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible decided to opt for a 406ci crate V8 engine. This 6.7L V8 engine has less than 500 miles on it and power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, and together with the rebuilt suspension, this Corvette is sure to offer a gratifying driving experience.
