1970 LT-1 New Acquisition.

[Lynn]

I was in high school when this debuted. Even then, I was a small block fan. I always loved the looks of the chrome bumper C3's.

I worked on several big block C3's but liked the handling on the small block so much better.

So, at least for me, although I know the early C3 big blocks are more sought after, this was THE Corvette to own. And, this was the last year for REALLY high compression. That might be an issue if I didn't have access to avaiation fuel (100LL).

Could not pass this one up. Original born with CTU engine, M22 trans and rear. Even still has the original spare and all the AZ original ralley wheels. Missing the original TI distibutor and control box, but still has original carb, alt, deep groove pulleys, intake and exhasut manifolds etc.

I removed the trim rings to transport it. LOOOOONG story on the trip to pick it up, but will relay that later. Drove about 1000 miles yesterday. Got an extra rolling chassis with it.

These are the only pics I have so far. Just got it home about 12:30 a.m this morning.

No PS, no AC, no PB. Roll up windows. One repaint (fair quality base clear showing its age) in 1985. Promised the seller I would send him pics of the first burn out.

Many thanks to James for his guidance while I was checking this out.
