Chevrolet Corvette 1970 Description
This car was found in Sarasota, lorida owned by a young man that really did not know the cars worth. Either that, r he knew the cars condition was very "ruff" and needed a lot of "attention". As Extreme Motorcar of Tampa, nc. began the complete disassembly, hey found that the "attention" the car needed was a lot more than "ruff". The good news was, hat this was a true survivor car and had never been abuse, aced or modified in any way. Every original part was there. Incredible. 40 years old and never been modified.!! What a FIND !!Needless to say, he was completely disassembled and the body removed. No expense was spared in putting her back together to her original glory...and then some. The paint and interior were designed by car designer, obertBruce. The result was a corvette built so well, ou will find it extremely difficult to find another car that has perfected body lines and a fit and finish that will rival the finest cars of today. Visit Extrememotorcar com for a complete photo documentation of her build, rom start to finish. You will be amazed !

The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette replaced the 4 side gills with an egg-crate vents on the side. The fenders were flared slightly to keep rocks from being kicked up and scratching the paint. The seats were redesigned again, his time to create more headroom. 1970 enlarged the "Big Block" (known as the Rat motor) to its largest displacement at 454 ci. . The relatively low production in 1970 was caused by a labor dispute that started in May of 1969. This dispute caused the 1969 production run to be stretched 4 months and the 1970 run to be cut short. Just 6648 convertible 1970 Vettes were made. This made the 1970 Convertible one of the lowest production vettes ever.This is a highly collectible car. Fun to drive, how and and enjoy. I will assure yo, he draws a crowd where ever you take her.I have to agree with the Barrett Jackson TV announcer when he said, This is one of the most beautiful Corvettes I HAVE EVER SEEN".That sums it up perfectly
