1968 - 1982 C3 Corvettes For Sale

Proud 17-year owner of this numbers matching 1973 Corvette Roadster that I mechanically restored in 2006-07 with its most recent mechanical repairs this past September.  The car shows its original yellow exterior with upgraded tan leather deluxe interior trim tag with 72,860 original miles. Original equipment includes: L48/300 hp (rebuild), TH-400 automatic, 3:08 posi-traction, AC, PS, PDB, PW, Map Light, Leather, AM/FM Cassette/Speaker System, Tilt/Telescopic, Luggage Rack, ’69 Side Exhaust, Silent Alarm, and Upgraded Quartz Clock.

I have owed this corvette since November 2005 with 59,800 miles and restored the entire engine, brake, steering, suspension, and exhaust systems between Oct 2006 – May 2007.  I showed this Stingray from May 2007 – June 2010 having won several local and Super Chevy shows with one Corvette Best of Show, and served as a rolling promo of my powder coating business I established in 2006 and still operate today.  My ’06-’07 restoration included refinishing, restoring, and powder coating as many original and new parts as possible for durability, longevity, easy maintenance, and appearance. Some of the new parts (still on the vehicle today) include:

All kinds of new parts and services done to ensure a safe and dependable classic ride. New tires, brakes, brake lines, alternator, battery, suspension bushings, and much more. 

I bought this car a year ago for my dad who had terminal cancer. He has since passed away and we no longer have a need for the vehicle.

I will not spend too much time with all of the production facts and stats of the 1970 Corvettes as the internet is a wealth of information for those of you who may not be Corvette experts and want to read up a bit.  However, it is important to note a few things that really make the 1970 Corvettes some of the most desirable C3 series cars. First, some of you may recall that the arrival of the 1970 model was later than usual in the automotive industry due in part to the United Auto workers strike in 1969 that caused a back log of orders for the ’69 model and the decision to pro-long production to fill those orders which delayed the arrival of the 1970 model to showrooms in to February, 1970. As a result, 1970 had the lowest production numbers of the 1968-1972 Corvettes, ultimately making them more rare and collectible.  The ’70 model also received some new design cues like the egg crate patterned fender louvers, fenders were flared slightly to prevent rock chips, and the seats were redesigned in addition to some other changes. In 1970 Chevrolet also enlarged the Big Block to its largest displacement at 454 cubic inches with a rated horsepower of 390hp with a massive 500 lbs/ft of torque. Production numbers show 17,316 units with 10,668 being coupes. Obviously, only a portion of these were produced with the Big Block 454 and this particular car is one of those rare cars!

This a four owner 21,800-mile car that has been maintained and driven periodically to preserve its factory condition. This car has excellent Bloomington Gold and NCRS potential. The documentation includes the build sheet, new car warranty and the original sales invoice date on July 15, 1982. Note that the factory installed GM mufflers are still present and in excellent condition. Also, this is an early Bowling Green car.

1968 WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE LONG AWAITED MAKO SHARK GENERATION. THE "MAKO SHARK" SHOW CAR STYLINGS OF THIS NEW GEN WERE SO WILDLY EXAGGERATED THAT WE KIDS AND OUR PARENTS COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE A CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT!
REMEMBER, WE WERE IN THE DAYS OF THE BATMOBILE BEING AN ICON. 

THANKFULLY, CHEVROLET DECIDED TO CALM DOWN THE BODY LINES, TO OFFER TO THE WORLD A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL NEW CORVETTE.

HIGHER COMPRESSION, HIGH WINDING, 427 BIG BLOCK FOR THE STREET. BACKED UP BY THE MUNCIE M21, CLOSE RATIO 4 SPEED TRANNY, AND 3.55 POSI GEARS. IT WAS UNUSUAL TO CHECK OFF THE "POWER STEERING" OPTION BACK THEN. TRUE RACE CARS DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING.
BUT WHAT A DRIVING DIFFERENCE IT MAKES!  YOU WILL LOVE IT.  ALSO THE AUXILLARY OPTIONAL HARD TOP.  SEE THE DEALER INVOICE FOR ALL DETAILS.

SHE WAS ALSO ORDERED WITH THE SPECIAL OFF ROAD EXHAUST SYSTEM. LOUDER THAN SIDE PIPES.
SPEAKING OF SIDEPIPES, THE OWNER DECIDED HE LOVED THEM AND HAD NEW 1969 FACTORY STYLE PIPES INSTALLED AND THE COOL LITTLE ALUMINUM INSERTS FROM '69 INTO THE FENDER GILLS. BOTH CAN CERTAINLY BE REMOVED AND RETURNED TO PURE '68 STOCK.
THEY BOTH GIVE EVEN MORE SEX APPEAL TO A CAR THAT ALREADY HAD GREAT SEXY LOOKS.

The ’70 model year was an interesting one for Corvette and GM as a whole. The previous year saw a dock workers strike the halted production of ’69 vehicles for weeks.  As a result, after the strike was settled, John Delorean, who was head of Chevrolet at the time, decided to let production run all the way through December of that year. And because of this, Corvette production ended up being almost 39k units! A number not to beaten until ’79 production! So, the following year, because of the late start, Corvette production was cut to just a bit over 17k units. Less than half of the previous year! Because of this, the ’70 Corvette is the rarest Shark ever produced! It also happened to be a good year, as well! Changes included a subtle revision of the front and rear fenders, which included new style louvers for the front fenders and a flare on both the front and rear to help prevent rock chips. Exhaust tips were now rectangular for the first time ever. and the front grille was redesigned as were the parking lamps. Big block engine displacement was increased from 427ci to 454ci. Small block displacement remained at 350ci, but a new high-performance engine, designated LT-1 was introduced and featured mechanical lifters, high-rise intake manifold and a large Holley 4bbl carb. Overall, a good year for Corvette!

This very sharp ’70 came to us from a local So. CA. owner. It’s a great configuration. Small block Convertible with an automatic, power steering, power brakes and highly desirable factory air conditioning! The car has been nicely refurbished with a #’s matching, rebuilt 350/300hp (dressed like a 350hp). It’s a really nice driver with shinny paint, nice soft top and interior. What we like about it the most is that you can drive it and just have fun taking it anywhere!  It’s a driver, but a very cool driver that you will be proud to own!
