Car history:
2) Exterior: The Monza Red exterior is in excellent driver condition. As one can see in the photos, the finish has dazzling gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely. The wheels and center caps are in excellent condition with a brilliant finish and no curb rash at all. The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires are virtually brand new with less than 20 miles on them and are correctly sized 225/70R15. There are a few very small imperfections around the car that are too tiny to show up in pictures, but nothing else that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. As one can see in the photos of the underside, this Corvette is very clean underneath. The car has ABSOLUTLEY NO RUST ISSUES. The frame is totally solid around the key hole area in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evidence of corrosion on the A pillars, which are the most common areas for rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included many photos of the underside to show how nice it looks. Window Date Codes: Please note that almost all of the glass on this Corvette, both Astro Ventilation door windows and even the pop-out rear window, is date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date of July 10, 1970 (G10). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage. Interior: The Black vinyl in this Corvette is in nice condition. The seats are in good shape with no split seams or excessive wear, just a small amount of wear in the usual area where the driver gets in and out. They do have the typical dry foam that is often found in original interiors from Stringrays of this era. The carpet is also in great condition with no major stains or holes. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the lenses are clear. The door panels are in wonderful shape overall. The door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console look awesome with no sun fading, there is a small hairline crack on the left side of the dash that is visible in the photos. The original radio is still with the car and gets good reception. Most importantly, the dash has never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. This Stingray has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes. Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life. Mechanical: This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. It starts right away every time, idles smooth, and runs great. The car is an awesome driver that feels nice the road and at highway speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that it drives great and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts well throughout the power band. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos with the original air cleaner and valve covers. The horn works as do the indicators, wipers, exterior lights, and interior lights. The blower for the heater works on all speeds. The entire vacuum system for the headlights and wiper door works correctly from both their respective switches on the dash and the override switches. They go up quickly, evenly, and with no binding in the mechanism. The entire operation from both switches can be viewed in the video. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. Some of the fiber optics work. There is a bit of play in the steering. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the T-Tops out on a beautiful day. A note on the fiber optic light monitoring system. We consistently receive many questions about the purpose of this system; exactly what it is and what it does. The sole and main idea behind the fiber optic light monitoring system is to simply confirm that all of the exterior lights, headlights, indicators, tail lights, etc., are working and to make the driver aware of a a burned out bulb. Each lamp on the outside of the car has an actual fiber optic cable the runs to an indicator on the center console. There are nine small indicators on the console and each has its own finer optic cable. When the bulb goes on the light travels through the fiber optic cable and illuminates the corresponding indicator on the console. If someone does not remember to plug the cable end into the lamp housing, does any work to the center console, or if there is a break in a connection or anywhere along the cable, that indicator no longer works. As one can image, over time this is very common. Overall Condition: Overall, this 1970 Corvette is in excellent driver condition. In my opinion and based on our experience the Chrome Bumper cars from 1968-1972 are the most collectible and hottest in the entire Corvette market right now and 1970 is the most rare. The very low miles, the beautiful condition, the great extent to which the numbers match, and the beautiful color combination make this car especially important and difficult to duplicate. The title shows the mileage as actual, but we have no other documentation to verify the mileage as original. This Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is very apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of C3 Corvettes have increased drastically over the past years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort. Engine Code V0702: V means the engine was build in the Flint, MI plant. The 07 is the seventh month of year and the 02 is the second day of the month meaning the engine was assembled on July 2, 1970. This is correct as it precedes the build date of the car. Suffix Code CTG: This means the motor was intended for a 350ci 300hp Corvette with an automatic transmission, which is correct for this car.
