'70 Corvette LT1 Debut?

[olredalert]

-----Yup, Sam,,,,The January date is correct and I can give you first hand info on that as I bought an LT1 Vette vert brand new. It was ordered on spec by a dealer in Mass. and came in in late January of 1970. I think Ive mentioned the car before more than once. I was back in Mass that January to take my physical and head out to the front (so to speak). I would be lying if I said I wasnt depressed, and then I flunked that physical. Went back to my Moms to get ready to go back to Florida and saw all these new Corvettes getting unloaded off the truck. Ended up putting a deposit on that one that day! GMAC was my friend back in those days. The dealer was a holding yard of sorts for new Vettes that were ordered by other area dealers and I had quite a number to choose from but they were the first anywhere in New England for sure......Bill S
