This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is the perfect mix of vintage and upgrades. It's a great-looking droptop has been updated with a stellar red paint, restored interior, and performance components added to the numbers-matching V8. And if that wasn't enough, who can resist the allure of a stick shift Stingray? Red Corvettes are so iconic that they write songs about them. And this car truly knows how to inspire a tune. That's because there has been an investment in 1970-correct Monza Red to give this classic color a modern shine. That means sunlight rolls off the shark-like nose and tall fenders so evenly that you can't help but attract attention. In fact, you truly get to choose the attitude you want to share with the world by selecting between the aggressive new black soft top or slick red hard top whenever you want (and if it's original like we suspect, you know it's quite rare!) The early C3 cars are the ones to own because of all the great brightwork. On a properly presented '70 like this one, that means nicely integrated chrome bumpers, bright rocker panes, and iconic Rally wheels. Inside, the correct saddle tan leather interior looks great against the red paint. You can instantly tell by the condition of the bucket seats, door panels, carpeting, and dash that there has been a nice investment in keeping this looking its best. Corvettes have always been a great personal sports car by providing a nice mix of performance features and plenty of creature comforts, and this one does it right. You get a three-spoke steering wheel that gives you a commanding view of the large dual pod gauges for the speedo and tach. Just to the side are a full set of auxiliary readouts for all your vital info. Below that are the heat/defrost controls and an upgraded AM/FM stereo that includes an aux input for the most modern music players. But we really know your favorite feature is the stick shift that lets you get the most out of this Stingray.This is a car that's made to show off, so even the engine bay doesn't disappoint. Lift the hood to see a nicely detailed package with plenty of shine. The polished valve covers, master cylinder, alternator, and much more all mean you'll lover showing this one off. And while this is thoroughly upgraded, you'll also be delighted to tell people that it's the original, numbers-matching V8. Chevy's trusty 350 now has performance enhancements such as a Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, steel braded hoses, Be Cool aluminum radiator, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. Best of all, you have complete control over the upgraded motor and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the Muncie M20 four-speed transmission. This car was made for taking the long way home, and components like the fully independent sports suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes prove that this custom Corvette is a great all-around driving classic.Complete with owner's manual, build receipts, and maintenance records - this one has great paperwork, but really, it's stellar presentation and rumbling V8 already sold you. But you're not the only one who wants to sing a tune with this red Corvette. So don't miss out, call today!
