1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray For Sale
This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a long-term survivor that has spent the last 30 years with the same owner, who covered only about 3,000 miles in that entire span. The mileage is actual and reflected as such on the title, which is exactly the kind of documented, honest history this market looks for. More recently the car has had its drivetrain freshened, so it pairs decades of careful single ownership with a powertrain that is essentially just broken in.
Power comes from a 350 V8 that was rebuilt less than 200 miles ago by Corbit Enterprises in Clarion, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission rebuilt less than 200 miles ago by the former Harbor Vette in Erie. A Hurst shifter handles gear changes, and a side-exit exhaust gives the car its voice. Out back is a 3.70 rear gear, a ratio that suits the 4-speed well and keeps the small-block pulling hard off the line. A new radiator rounds out the cooling side, so the fresh engine and transmission have the support to be driven and enjoyed rather than babied.
Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with new calipers front and rear, and the pads currently measure 10/32, leaving plenty of life. The coupe is finished in black with gold pinstriping and wears an L88 hood, and it carries the features that make the early C3 coupe so versatile: removable T-top panels and a removable rear window, which together open the car up to a near-targa configuration when the weather cooperates. Inside, the interior presents in excellent condition, in keeping with the low mileage and the care this Corvette has clearly seen.
1970 falls within the sought-after early chrome-bumper years of the third-generation Corvette, the run that introduced the flared fenders, egg-crate grille, and side fender vents that define the look for many enthusiasts. A small-block car with a fresh engine and transmission, a documented 30-year history, and genuine low actual mileage makes for a straightforward, drivable classic for someone who wants to enjoy an early Stingray without a project hanging over it.
