1970 Corvette LT1 Roadster NCRS Top Flight

Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1970

This HighlyDocumented NCRS Top Flight Award winning1970 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is an exceptional example of one of the all-time-greatest, small-block-powered Corvettes, the LT1. Big-block powerplants had proliferated in the Corvette lineup since the introduction of the L78 396/425 HP V-8 in 1965, but by 1970 only one remained: the LS5 454 rated at 390 HP and a whopping 500 lb-ft of torque. While a 454-equipped Corvette could certainly tear up the pavement, there was a new addition to the small-block range that could stay right with it. Dubbed LT1, the new small-block resulted in a much lighter car, shaving a full 405 pounds from its curb weight and distributing the rest evenly between the front and rear axles. The LT1 was nothing less than a detuned racing engine endowed with 4-bolt main-bearing caps, forged rotating assembly, a special high-lift, high-duration cam and a big-block-sized Holley 850 CFM 4-barrel carburetor on a high-rise aluminum intake. Conservatively rated at 370 HP at 6,000 RPM and 380 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM, the LT1 announced its presence with a pinstriped big-block-style hood with "LT1" badges and a distinctive mechanical tapping at idle that gave way to a steely exhaust roar at speed, and produced big-block performance with the athletic handling only possible in a small-block Corvette. This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 convertible has been fully nut and boltrestored to better than newand shows a believed-correct95,500 miles on the odometer. Matching-numbers LT1 350/370 HP small-block V-8, complete with its signature chromed air cleaner, finned-aluminum valve covers and intact A.I.R. emission-control system; it also incorporates the original Muncie 4-speed manual transmissionwith a 370 ratiopositraction rear end.
