Overview of 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

One of the most striking designs of the Sixties, the third-generation Corvette came in 1968. It was basically a lightly adjusted version of Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II concept car. This thrilled the American public to no end – after all, it’s not common for a concept car to make it into production without major changes. Even in 2024, the C3 is one of the most sought-after variants, especially cars that were made before the Malaise Era of the '70s. That’s why you’ll no doubt enjoy owning and driving this pre-Malaise 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with just 68,262 miles on the odometer. It’s got the biggest engine for the C3 under the hood, and reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration. It’s also got the tank sticker, NCRS Judging sheets, service invoices and original documentation available.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a dress of red paint, this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a beauty to behold. The car’s muscular flanks and iconic design are beautifully brought out by this timeless hue, that could very well be the predecessor of today’s Torch Red shade that is available on the latest C8 ‘Vette. We’re told that the car comes with two tops, and photos show that the convertible top is a white affair. The two-seat interior of this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible includes features such as air conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column, and a push-button radio. Take a closer look at the center console and you’ll find another innovative feature – indicators to warn the driver if a taillamp or turn signal is out. These work through simple fiber optics, so if one of those indicators is not lit, you know which lamp is burned out or non-functional. Behind the passenger cabin is a surprisingly accommodating trunk that can easily carry a week’s worth of luggage If you pack smart and use soft bags.

Engine

This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes with an LS5 Turbo-Jet 454ci V8 under the hood. The plaque inside the car informs us that the engine was factory rated for 390hp and 500lb-ft. These are extremely pleasing figures for the keen driver, further aided by the car’s 4-speed manual gearbox that lets you control the power sent to the rear wheels. The car also has power brakes and power steering for a smooth and easy driving experience.
