Chevrolet’s C3 third-generation Corvette marked a radical styling departure for America’s favorite sports car, with muscular and bulbous styling, plus a new interior. However, it remained largely the same as the C2 second generation beneath the skin. While later model year C3s were strangled by the emissions regulations that came into the fore, earlier examples were spared this fate, as this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 Coupe is blessed. The seller says that this car has minor upgrades here and there.
The iconic design of the C3 is beautifully showcased by this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 Coupe in all its gold colored glory, which is reported to be an original color. Pop-up headlamps sporting twin circular lights per side add to its allure, as do the period-correct alloy wheels wearing BFGoodrich white-lettered tires. The bodywork of this car appears to be largely in great condition, with the chromed side exhausts and mirrors gleaming, and the necessary Stingray badging present and correct. Let’s not forget that this car is a T-Top which means you can pop the two tops and enjoy open-topped motoring at will. The interior of this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 Coupe is in black, and it’s reported that the previous owner had the interior completely re-done. A modern CD/Radio head unit has been installed, with aftermarket speakers in the rear luggage area, pointing at the two seats for driver and passenger. Comprehensive instrumentation includes a 160mph speedometer and tachometer that stretches to 7,000rpm with redline set at 6,000rpm. Auxiliary gauges live in the center console. A white ball-tipped gear shifter completes the interior.
The C3 generation could be had with a variety of motors ranging from 305ci to 454ci, and this 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 Coupe packs the largest of them all, the 454ci (7.5L) LS5 V8. This engine was conservatively rated at 370hp from the factory, but independent testing at the time had them breaking 400hp. This car is said to sport a numbers-matching engine and factory four-speed manual transmission. The seller also reports that the carb is new. Power steering and disc brakes on all wheels ensure that handling and stopping are decent.
