1970 Corvette LT-1 Convertible

There's way too many questions about the car to answer this question accurately. Someone would really need to evaluate the car and provide an estimate on what a restoration would cost. I would imagine that a correct restoration would begin at $50,000 as the car needs the engine rebuilt and heavy body work and paint. Paperwork would be a big plus on this car as it is rare and rare cars really can use some supporting paperwork. My feelings are that you could be upside-down real easy in this car as the very top of the market may be $70,000 for a car with judging credentials. I know of a very nice, Benchmark caliber '70 LT1 roadster for sale at $75,000 and it is well documented. A nice original such as this is worth more than a restored car equipped similarly. Unless you are in a position to do much of the work yourself, I'd tread very carefully.
