454 Big Block Survivor all original survivor
1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 454 Deluxe Description
I am 2nd owner. Purchased in April 2011. The car had a 1981 inspection sticker when I found it with 48,000 original miles. I had to replace all rubber hoses, belts, shocks, fuel pump, and tires including spare. I had the carb rebuilt and the original air conditioning compressor rebuilt. The radiator was reconditioned. I do have new stainless covers on the side pipes. I have the original side pipe covers. They are easy to exchange. The original ones have areas of the chrome plating which is flaking. Everything works great. The clock even runs occasionally. I drove it over 500 miles in one day with a friend. I was fun . No problems at all. All the vacuum systems work. All the hoses have been replaced. Lights pop up and down. Cover over wipers works great too. Electric windows work. They are slow and work better with engine running.. Paint looks great. There are some minor chips and some patina. It still has original seals on T-tops. They are weathered but I only had one minor drip when I got caught in the rain once. It has tilt and telescope steering wheel with power steering. The rear window is removable and stores above the T-tops in back. Original T-top covers with date code.It is a comfortable car to drive and has a lot of power and the A/C works great. The fiber optics look great at night. You will definitely turn some heads when you stomp on the gas. This was the only year of the high compression 454. The next year the compression was dropped and so did the horsepower due to emission controls. This one has 390 hp, 500 ft/lbs torque and 10.251 compression ratio which is printed on the factory plate below the shifter. The original carpet mats and deluxe woodgrain on doors still look good. The radio works great. The car has been gone over and tuned professionally. Have $10,000 in receipts. Reply to questions may be in the evening since I will be traveling some this week.
