Corvette has always held a special place in the hearts and minds of GM and muscle car enthusiasts around the globe. The iconic 2 seat roadster elevated GM’s image as a true performance car manufacturer and has maintained the brand and image since Corvette’s launch in 1953.
Allan’s 1970 Corvette has been immaculately restored to its original condition. It is the convertible model in Monza Red, with white cloth top, red interior, and power windows.
1970 saw some refinements in the model which had remained virtually unchanged since 1968. These upgrades saw new color options, square exhaust ports, fender flares, rectangle front turn signal lights, redesigned front grille and fender louvers.
Only 668 convertible Corvettes were produced in 1970 with a factory price of $4,849.00 -- quite a deal versus the current asking price of 60K + that they are currently commanding.
Allan drives his ‘Vette to and from work on occasion and is not afraid of getting it dirty. Allan tells me that he does not believe classic cars should be hidden in storage units or in private collections. He thinks they need to be driven and shared with others.
Allan’s Corvette came with the standard 3.36 ratio ring and pinion. He upgraded to the Superior Ring and Pinion gear set in a 4.11 ratio (Superior part GCIVET411) ratio using the Superior Axle overhaul kit 35-2082.
