Description

This rare Corvette variant was just out of long-term storage when it came for a visit. After a preliminary test drive to hash things out, we replaced spark plugs, cleared out old gasoline and other simple maintenance. We did a comprehensive undercarriage detail, and a general run through.

A few notes from Hagerty.com include "Corvette LT1 buyers got 11:1 compression, solid lifters, hot cam, and Holley carburetor. The result brought power up to 370 bhp. Detail improvements for 1970 included fender flares to reduce damage from road debris, egg-crate grille and horizontal egg-crate side louvers in the front fenders. Positraction and a wide-ratio 4-speed gearbox were now included in the base price. Interiors were redesigned with seats that created more headroom and better access behind them."
