The debut of the 1970 Corvette was slightly delayed compared to typical automotive releases due to a backlog of sales from the previous model year and a UAW (United Auto Workers) strike, which postponed its arrival in showrooms until February,” according to www.corvsport.com. For the 1970 model year, Chevrolet unveiled a significant upgrade: a big block 427 engine, stretched to a full 4.00 inches, resulting in a 454 cubic inch powerhouse. This marked the first increase in stroke since the engine’s inception in its more conservative form. This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette proudly boasts its numbers-matching 454 cubic inch big block motor, coupled with a Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission. Adorned in its original Bridgehampton Blue exterior with a matching blue interior, this Corvette comes equipped with power steering, power brakes, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel. However, it’s worth noting that the odometer may not be accurate. While the older paint retains its allure from a distance, a closer inspection reveals extensive paint crazing. Nevertheless, the frame and underside of this 1970 Corvette remain solid and well-maintained. Although not originally outfitted with side pipes, this Corvette now features chrome headers leading to 4″ chrome side exhaust, with the sale including original-style side exhaust components. Whether you opt to relish in its current state or invest in a high-quality paint refinish, this Big Block Corvette promises a thrilling driving experience, complemented by its impressive performance and captivating sound.
