1970 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 Convertible — Numbers-Matching, NCRS Award Winner, 1 of 1,287

Here is one of the most coveted small-block Corvettes ever built, presented exactly the way discerning collectors dream of finding one — a comprehensively restored 1970 Corvette LT1 convertible finished in its original Donnybrooke Green over a restored Saddle interior. The solid-lifter LT1 stands among the most revered engines of the C3 era, and open-top examples are exceptionally scarce. This is one of just 1,287 LT1 Corvettes produced in 1970, of which fewer than 500 are believed to have been convertibles. Backed by extensive documentation and a folder full of receipts, this is the kind of rare, correct, award-winning Corvette serious collectors spend years searching for. Drop the top, grip that Muncie shifter, and imagine adding this documented LT1 to your own collection.
