Car history:
Posted 10/16/2019 Use this link to watch video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/KNKZY18R5so?autoplay=1&html5=1&rel=0 Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful numbers matching 1970 Corvette Stingray Coupe in fantastic driver condition and only 88,845 original miles. This Corvette looks absolutely amazing with a stunning Monza Red paint job. The iconic Monza Red (974) over Saddle Leather (424) color combination is highly desirable, truly striking, and looks great on this Stingray body style. It is also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag, which is pictured in this ad. Besides the matching paint and trim codes, this Corvette is completely Numbers Matching with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured. We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable Corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C3 chrome bumper Corvettes from 1968 to 1972 is absolutely red hot right now and on the rise. This is especially true for the 1970 model year as it is by far the most rare year with the fewest number of units produced. The 1970 model year Corvette was only produced for six months. The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title pictured in this ad showing the mileage as Actual. Please peruse all of the photos, list of numbers, and other information below to get a true sense of how nice this Corvette really is. As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. Exterior The Monza Red exterior is in spectacular 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 chrome and other bright look great with and a brilliant finish and no pitting. The wheels and center caps are in excellent condition with a nice finish and no curb rash on the beauty rings. Please note that this Corvette has the correct and original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the cheaper foreign made replacements. The BF Goodrich Radial TA tires have plenty of tread left. There are a few very tiny blemishes around car that were too small to show up in pictures, but nothing else that is really noticeable from about five feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside this car is very clean underneath and has NO RUST ISSUES at all. The frame is totally solid around the key hole area in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evident of corrosion around the windshield or birdcage area, which are the most common spots for rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car 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, are date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date of June 16, 1970 (F16). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage. Interior The Saddle Leather interior of the Corvette is in excellent original condition. The seats look just in person as they do in the photos with no excessive wear for the mileage; please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap aftermarket covers or replacements. The carpet is in also in great condition with no stains, holes, or rips. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear. The dash is in great shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The door panels are in good condition overall. The jack and jack handle are stored correctly behind the passenger seat. The spare is also still with the car. This Corvette 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 original interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another verification of the low original mileage. The interior looks just as good in person as it does in the photos. Mechanical This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The original numbers matching engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It drives great and feels nice on 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 there are no vibrations or strange noises and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power band. The car runs cool and does not overheat. The gauge shows that the engine makes great oil pressure. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos. The radio works as do all the exterior lights, dash lights, interior lights, horn, wipers, and indicators. The blower for the heater works on all speeds. Even the key buzzer and the head lamp warning light on the dash work. 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. 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. We consistently receive many questions about the purpose of the fiber optics system on 1968 to 1971 Corvettes; 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 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. This Stingray runs and drives as well as it looks. Overall Condition Overall, this 1970 Corvette is truly a fantastic car. The beautiful original color combination, excellent condition, the low original mileage, and the great extent to which the numbers match make this Stingray especially important and very hard to duplicate. Numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing and as one can see, this car is quite correct.
