Here is a running and driving 1970 Corvette Coupe project car. This car was originally Corvette Bronze, which is harder to find than some of the other 1970 colors. The body tag codes are: Trim 400 Black Paint 993 Corvette Bronze Build Date of C10. This car was a very low option car, having only a radio. It has no power steering, no power brakes, no A/C, no power windows, and no tilt/tele. This is a non-original motor car, but it does have the original numbers matching M-20 4spd. The rear is a 3.08. The frame is excellent with no rot. The windshield frame appears to be the same way. This car was garaged for much of its life. I bought this car with damage to the front fiberglass. I removed all the damaged body parts and bought an OEM used front clip at Carlisle and installed it. I also installed a new front valance. The front clip still needs some minor bodywork and surface filling. During the repair process, I replaced the core support, core support cross member, fan shroud, front bumper extensions, and front bumper center support. The vacuum lines are not connected to the headlights or wiper door, but the actuators work fine. A good driver quality set of front bumper guards is included. The car has new stainless steel sleeved calipers, all new brake hoses, new brake pads, new rear shocks, new rear spring, new u-joints, new strut rod bushings, new master cylinder, newer exhaust system, new radiator, new headlight vacuum actuator seals, new idler arm, and new front sway bar links. The current exhaust system does not fit well and should be replaced. The NOM 350 4 bolt main engine is built up with Edelbrock aluminum heads, Performer intake manifold, and headers. It has a new pan gasket, new timing cover gasket and seal, new valve cover gaskets, new flywheel ring gear, new pilot bearing, and new throw out bearing. The stock tach drive distributor has a Mallory electronic ignition module. The black interior looks to be original. It needs carpet, door panels, and seat covers. All gauges work except the clock and the odometer. It has an aftermarket radio. The windshield is ok for a driver, but has some pretty deep wiper marks and little bubbles down low and out of view. The car currently has aftermarket aluminum wheels, but I have a set of rally wheels that go with the car. The car starts and runs fine, but appears to have a cam with a lot of overlap, as it has a lumpy idle. The clutch and transmission work fine. The car stops well. The car needs the bodywork finished, paint, interior items listed above, tires, front center grille, front bumper, and a bunch of little detail things. As you can see, I have put a lot of money and work in the car already. I have a clear Maryland title in my name. Again, it has a great frame and windshield frame, is running and driving, is currently tagged and insured, and would make a great project to finish up. If you are local, please feel free to come have a look at the car. It is on my lift, so you can look it over in detail. I am not interested in any trades, as I need the money and garage space for the another car I wish to purchase. For all you guys and gals looking for a 68-72 chrome bumper 4spd project car, this is a great car with a lot of the hard work already completed. I have owned Corvettes for almost 40 years, and most all of them have been 1970 models. I know these cars pretty well. Please don't hesitate to ask any detailed questions you might have.
