Re: 1970 Corvette LT-1 Convertible
I have been looking for one for a year or so now. Passed on a few and can't get the one i wanted at the right deal.
These cars are going up I think when people catch on to the fact that you make close to big block horses with small block weight in a car designed to handle well (for it''s day) Thats why documented 70 Z28s (LT-1) will continue to rise. Second gen camaro was superior in engineering to the 1st gen and you only had one strike shortened year to get the high compression power in a decent handling road car. Just my $.02 John PS if you are like me and love to actually drive (the piss) out of your cars, then don't think about the money too much and just make sure your not so upside down that you can't breathe!

Re: 1970 Corvette LT-1 Convertible
What's with the LT1 370hp vs 360hp (vette vs Z28) rating? I hear that it was just a marketing ploy, but which was correct? The 370 hp or the 360hp?

Re: 1970 Corvette LT-1 Convertible
It is simply for an investment. I have already owned an LT-1, '72 though, and I was unimpressed by the power. Was the slowest Corvette I ever owned but was the most fun to drive with that close ratio M21!

Re: 1970 Corvette LT-1 Convertible
Oh one more question. According to the website I looked at yesterday, the only tranny offered with the LT-1 in '70 was the M22. Is this correct? No M21 or auto?

Re: 1970 Corvette LT-1 Convertible
a 72 should feel slow. Less horsepower and compression.
Can't speak from experience as i have not driven many vettes of the high compression era.
