This amazing 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe offers prospective collectors all the features that place it at the top of the Corvette hobby hierarchy: exceptional originality, desirable options, low mileage, an all matching-numbers drivetrain, extensive documentation and an unbroken 45-year ownership history. Produced on March 16, 1970, and delivered new by Wagner Chevrolet of Rising Sun, Maryland, it retains its rare factory original no-hit body with the original and incredibly rare Corvette Bronze paint and black leather interior, both in exceptional condition. Its low odometer reading of 45,531 actual miles further attests to the care and pride taken by its longtime owner. This remarkable Stingray coupe retains its original LS5 454/390 HP Mark IV big-block V-8 engine, 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission and 3.08:1 Positraction rear end, and comes with an affirmation of the engine block, stamp pad and engine stamp as to their originality by Al Grenning’s Classic Car Affirmation Service, LLC. In addition to its well-documented originality, the car is loaded with desirable factory options and extra features that include air conditioning, power steering and power disc brakes, leather seating surfaces, shoulder harnesses, SS brakes, an AM/FM stereo radio, audio alarm, Soft Ray tinted glass, rare P02 Deluxe finned wheel covers and raised white-letter BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. It also incorporates most all factory correct type components including the spare, jack, jack tools, T-Top bags, seat belts, washer system, shifter, ignition shielding, air cleaner, distributor, spark plug shields, window glass, valve covers, expansion tank, gas door assembly and T3 headlights. This collector-grade Corvette is extensively documented with the original dealer invoice, warranty pamphlets, pre-delivery check-sheet, congratulations letter with Chevrolet News from GM/Chevrolet, owner’s manual packet, key knock- outs and a 3-ring binder, and includes the original tank sticker that is still affixed in its factory original location. Possessed of that unmistakable solid factory feel and excellent overall performance, original, unrestored Corvettes of such superb quality as this are rising to the top of the hobby as guideposts for restorers, showcasing original production standards that can be employed by historians, judges and future restorers to determine factory authenticity.
