Restored in 2016 454 Numbers Matching 1970 Chevrolet Corvette

This ’70 454 Corvette coupe, fully restored in 2016, has been meticulously brought back to its original glory with careful mechanical upgrades. The owner has compiled a thorough binder containing procedures, receipts, restoration photos/CD, and an Owners Manual. The Corvette White respray, mirroring the original color, was professionally executed, and the 2-piece Targa T-tops are in impeccable condition. Striking accents include new chrome trim, shielded side pipes, and BFGoodrich Radial T/As mounted on 15”x8” GM Rally wheels with centers and trim rings.

The interior has undergone a complete restoration featuring high-grade black vinyl upholstery. The dash, door cards, and carpeting are all in excellent condition. Notable features include Vintage Air (currently inoperative), tinted windows, factory gauges, a leather-wrapped wheel, and an AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo system. The coupe is equipped with all door/window rubber seals in good condition and the factory removable rear window. An extensive interior sound/insulation package has also been added.

Beneath the hood, the 454ci ‘Rat’ stands as the numbers-matching powerhouse. This big-block, reputedly never requiring a rebuild, features 427ci performance heads/cam. Equipped with Holley’s Commander 1000cfm throttle body injection and an electronic ignition, the exhaust resonates through a header/side pipe system, producing an impressive sound. The engine is paired with a 700-R4 automatic transmission (a significant upgrade) and a posi-traction differential with 3.08 gearing. The coupe boasts power steering and power disc brakes with 4-piston calipers.

Both the front and rear suspension systems have undergone a comprehensive upgrade with fiberglass mono-springs and HD sway bars, closely replicating the design of the C6 Corvette. Suspension spring rates and ride heights are fully adjustable, as are the offset rear camber control arms with new bearings. The headlight/wiper vacuum system has been entirely rebuilt with new hoses and connectors.

If you seek a beautifully restored 454 Corvette designed for driving, inspecting this C3 coupe is a must—you will undoubtedly be impressed.
