Need Help! 1970 LT-1 Value

[Oldss]

I found my mom’s first cousins Corvette a few months ago. 1970 LT-1, Green on Green, no power steering, power brakes and power windows. Car seems to run and drive good. Brake pedal is soft and low. All smog is there and hooked up. Exhaust is bad. Trailing arm bearings are out! Car has been repainted with some poor repairs made to the drivers quarter. The engine was removed in the 90’s and the pistons removed for flat tops. Engine pad numbers seem to me to be correct and match. Frame and or bird cage seem to be in good shape. Did not remove the kick panels or a pillar trim. Interior is original and worn. Car has been off the road for some time.

The couple that own the car are getting a divorce, so trying to buy the car has been a funny process. Can only talk to one owner at a time, then they have to talk it over with their attorney. They can not decide on a figure to put on the car it seems till yesterday. They or he is asking $40,000. It’s listed on Facebook in Benton, Wisconsin. I did make them a couple of offers with no real reply from them.

If you could take a minute and look it up I would appreciate it. I have talked this car over with some of you on this site, but without pics. So at least you can actually see it now. Please give me your comments on the car. I would love to get your feel. This to me is the best place to get feedback with all the knowledge here. Sorry, I’m not able to get a link up. Thanks in advance! Dan
