Why Buy a 1970 Corvette instead of a '69?Many collector car experts believe that 1970 big-block Corvettes are primed to be the next big mover in “muscle car era” Vettes. A GM strike delayed production of the 1970s for many months, and resulted in the lowest model-year production numbers for any Corvette since 1962.

There were over twice as many 1969 Corvettes built (38,762) as there were 1970s.

Total 1970 Corvettes Built = 17,316 (Coupes = 10,668 Convertibles = 6,648)

1970 was the only year for the high compression (10.25:1) LS5 454 in the Corvette.

4,473 Corvettes were ordered with the 454 in 1970 (Coupe & Convertible)

Factor in this car’s highly desirable Mulsanne blue paint, long list of factory options and meticulous NCRS-level restoration, and it is perfect for the serious collector and concours auto show participant, or for the person simply desiring the absolute best in a gorgeous weekend cruiser.
