1970 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe – Retro Style, Modern Performance!

The 1970 model year was a unique chapter in Corvette history. Following a dock workers strike in 1969, production was extended into December under the direction of GM’s John DeLorean, pushing ’69 output to a record-setting 38,762 units. As a result, production of the 1970 Corvette was significantly scaled back, with only 17,316 units built—making it the lowest production year since 1962 and one of the rarest C3 models.

The ’70 Corvette featured subtle but meaningful updates: redesigned side vents, integrated fender flares to reduce rock chips, a revised front grille, and rectangular exhaust tips. It also marked the debut of the powerful LS5 454ci big block and the high-revving LT-1 350ci small block, both adding to the year’s legacy.

This particular So. CA. 1970 Corvette Coupe is a striking example of the breed. Originally finished in Bridgehampton Blue with a 350/300hp small block and a 3-speed automatic, it has since been transformed into a head-turning black-on-black machine. Under the hood, a GM ZZ4 high-performance small block V8 with electronic ignition delivers impressive power, paired with a modern 4-speed automatic transmission for effortless cruising.

Features include:

• Factory air conditioning

• Power steering, brakes, and windows

• AM/FM radio

• Period-correct polished American Racing wheels with radial tires

The car’s condition is just as impressive as its build. The paint gleams, the interior is clean and classic, and it comes with a thick folder of service, maintenance, and restoration receipts dating all the way back to the 1970s.

Rare, beautifully presented, and loaded with character—this ’70 Corvette isn’t just a car, it’s a statement. And best of all, it’s an absolute joy to drive.
