Car history:
01/06/2016 Monterey 2015, Lot F85 This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette convertible from the Ed Foss Collection is one of the highest-scoring cars in Bloomington Gold history. A three-owner car since new, its story begins with its purchase by a GM employee, who chose the new, larger- displacement 454 CI big block introduced that year. Sold new at Ernie Grissom Chevrolet in Mount Clemens, Michigan, this 1970 Corvette convertible arrived from the factory finished in rich Mulsanne Blue with a Black Custom interior that included leather seat upholstery, woodgrain trim and carpet trim on the door panels, woodgrain console accents and cut-pile carpeting. With the new-for-1970 LS5 454/390 HP V-8 at the helm, it was also fitted with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end, Soft Ray-tinted glass, power windows and power brakes, a Delco AM/FM radio and a White soft top. After taking delivery of his new Corvette, the first owner drove it until 1972, when he parked it in his garage. It was not until 1989 that it resurfaced to be purchased by Greg Klingler of Davison, Michigan. The car earned its first of many prestigious awards in Klinglers ownership, winning an NCRS National Top Flight Award in 1992. Ed Foss added the car to his growing collection in 1999 and quickly set about establishing its sensational record of awards, beginning with Bloomington Gold, Survivor and Benchmark Certification in 2000, when it also achieved NCRS Regional and National Top Flight honors, with almost perfect respective scores of 99 and 98.6. That same year it also was awarded the Chevy Vettefest Triple Crown. Unrestored and original, this multiple prizewinner has accumulated just 1,147 original miles and comes with documentation that includes the original dealer paperwork, Protect-O-Plate, the original title, photographic documentation of Ed Foss purchase from Greg Klingler and a notarized affidavit from the original owner. - Unrestored with 1,147 original miles - Documented with the original retail order form, bill of sale, Protect-O-Plate deposit and payment receipts, salesman's business card original title and notarized affidavit from the original owner - Bloomington Gold Benchmark, Survivor and Gold Certified in 2000 - Bloomington Gold Special Collection in 2006 - Regional NCRS Top Flight Award in 2000 scoring 99 - National NCRS Top Flight Award in 2000 scoring 98.6 - Chevy VetteFest Triple Crown in 2000 - 454/390 HP big block V-8 engine - 4-speed transmission - Power brakes and windows - Delco AM/FM radio - Rally wheels with Firestone tires - Mulsanne Blue with Black leather interior and White soft top - Three owners since new - Sold new at Ernie Grissom Chevrolet in Mt.
