1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray LS5 454, A TRUE SURVIVOR, ONE FAMILY OWNED FOR 55 YEARS, NUMBERS MATCHING, INCREDIBLE DOCUMENTATION!

Past & Present Motor Cars is proud to offer this exceptional 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a genuine LS5 454 Big Block, 4-Speed Corvette with incredible history, outstanding documentation, and the kind of originality that serious Corvette collectors search years to find.

This is not simply another restored Corvette. This is a TRUE SURVIVOR with a story.

Remaining with the same family for approximately 55 years, this Corvette came to us from the twin brother of the original owner. Even more impressive is the remarkable paper trail that accompanies the car, documenting its history all the way back to when it was originally ordered new.

Under the hood is its Numbers Matching LS5 454 Cubic Inch Big Block V8, factory rated at an impressive 390 horsepower. Backing the big block is its Numbers Matching Muncie M20 4-Speed Manual Transmission, delivering exactly the type of driving experience you want from a high-performance C3 Corvette. The car also retains its date-coded rear end, further adding to the integrity of this very special drivetrain.

Finished in striking Code 51 Daytona Yellow, this Corvette has tremendous presence. Daytona Yellow is one of those iconic colors that looks right at home on an early chrome-bumper C3 Corvette, especially when combined with the unmistakable styling and proportions of the 1970 Stingray.

What makes this Corvette particularly special is how exceptionally well equipped it was when ordered. It features virtually every power and convenience option available on a 1970 Corvette.

Extensive Documentation and Paper Trail

The documentation is a major part of what separates this Corvette from the crowd. Included with the car is an impressive collection of paperwork tracing its history back to the beginning, including the original tank sticker, Protect-O-Plate, window sticker and additional supporting documentation.

Finding a genuine big-block Corvette is one thing. Finding one with its original numbers-matching drivetrain, long-term family history and this level of documentation is something altogether different.

The 1970 model year represents one of the great years of the C3 Corvette era, combining the beautiful early chrome-bumper Stingray styling with serious big-block performance. The LS5 brought Chevrolet's legendary 454 cubic-inch V8 to the Corvette lineup, and when paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, it created one of the most desirable combinations of the period.

This particular example checks the boxes that matter: LS5. 454 Big Block. 390 Horsepower. 4-Speed. Numbers Matching. Factory Air. Daytona Yellow. Outstanding Documentation. Long-Term Family Ownership.

Most importantly, this Corvette has retained the character and history that make an original car special. It presents in excellent condition and represents a tremendous opportunity for the collector who appreciates provenance, authenticity and preservation.

Cars can be restored. History cannot be restored.

With approximately 55 years in one family, its numbers-matching LS5 454 and Muncie 4-speed, date-coded rear end, rare factory air conditioning, desirable power options and an extraordinary collection of original documentation, this is the type of Corvette that deserves to be preserved, driven, shown and enjoyed for the next generation.

A TRUE SURVIVOR. A TRUE BIG-BLOCK CORVETTE. AND A VERY SPECIAL PIECE OF CHEVROLET HISTORY.
