The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette was available with a number of different engines, including the first LT small-block (350-ci, 350 horsepower or 350-ci, 370-horsepower) and the increased big-block, now a 454ci, V8 monster capable of 460 horsepower.
The LT1 could go from 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds, and covered the quarter mile in 14.17 seconds. Of course, the Corvette was beautiful on the outside as well as within, with a new "ice-cube-tray" grill. The gills were toned down a bit, and a few more colors were available, including Donnybrooke Green.
Trying to determine whether a 1970 LT-1 convertible could have come equipped with the M-20 and/or M-21 manual trans, and what rear-end gear ratios would have been available with the manual gearbox in that same LT-1 car. Thank you
Looking at a 1970 corvette, convertible. 350 ci, 300 hp, auto, has corvette side exhaust and covers (all GM). Owner says the original exhaust system was removed and replaced by the Dealer with original GM parts i.e., side exhaust were a dealer option? Also, has rear body panels (painted same as car) covering the holes where the original exhaust pipes were located. Looks GM original. Can you confirm if side pipes were a dealer option?
How do you know if your car is an lt1 or another. Have one in garage needs to be restored been sitting there I know nothing about it
350/350 hp, 4-spd., A/C. Just finished a frame off restoration. About $50,000 have been spent on new parts!. Has many upgrades too numerous to list.
I am trying to decode the vin from a 1970 corvette LT1 I am considering purchasing, I am trying to verify this is a genuine LT1 and not a clone. The vin # is 194370S401994. I tried to decode the vin on the above website and was unable. How can I decode the vin, and will it verify this car is a true LT1, Thank you, Don
