2) Great looking 1970 Corvette driver. These early chrome bumper C3 Corvettes are getting so hard to find in this condition for a reasonable price. This car runs and drives but needs some light TLC. Paint: -Average to below average driver quality, needs lots of little touch ups, cut and polish. -As you can see from the pictures though, after a simple clean up the car still looks great in its current condition from 5-15 feet away. -Professional paint restorers could bring this paint up to a really nice driver quality -I believe it is the correct 1970 year Corvette Monza Red color on the car now. The car was originally Donnybrooke Green though. Interior: -Looks to be the original code 424 Light Saddle leather interior. -The seats were mostly just really dirty and cleaned up pretty well. No obvious rips or tears -Steering wheel is new -Some trim pieces need replacing or repairing. I have some of the parts that will come with the car -Dash has some cracks. A dash pad is on there now. -Door panels cleaned up nicely -Power windows work, driver side is very slow though -Radio works as one would expect for 1970 -Fan works but doesn't blow real hard. -The A/C seems to working, much to my surprise. Feels coolish, but not super cold -Both doors close nicely, no sagging. Structural: -Frame is solid, no rot, barely any surface rust even. What you would expect from a car that spent its life in sunny dry Arizona -Body Mounts behind kick panels look good, no rot. (see picture) Mechanical: -In 2006, the previous owner replaced the engine with a newer rebuilt 350 ($2,899), had the transmission rebuilt ($1,100), replaced the steering column ($500), and had many other mechanical issues addressed. His total bill was $8,585.46. I have the receipt. -In 2015, the previous owner had the carburetor tuned, exhaust manifolds replaced, and had the steering box replaced. -After I acquired the car in May 2017, I mostly have just maintained the car and assembled a small amount of parts for it. -Brand new steel rally wheels (beauty rings are the old ones and need replacing though) -Brand new BFG Radials Mechanicals that should be addressed by new owner (Estimates from Bromleys Corvette Shop): -Headlights not working. Vacuum kit replacement ($1,559.99) but I was leaning towards electric conversion -Rear Spring replacement with poly bushings ($279.99) -Rear Strut rods - adjustable ($534.99) -Transmission mount ($120) -Diff, Trans, and Engine oil service (engine oil doesn't look that dirty yet though) -There is one oil pan bolt missing It's the left rear spring BOLT/bushing that needs replacement, not the whole spring obviously for that price. BiN $17,900 but reached $10,300 (RnM) on MAy 13, 2018. Sold for $12,100 on May 27, 2018. 1) Motor sufix code is CTG. From 1970corvetteregistry.org (Spotted on Ebay), on July 11, 2010. |
