VERY RARE LT1 CONVERTIBLE, #S MATCH LT1 V8, 4-SPD (RELISTED DUE TO EBAY SCREW UP)Throughout Corvette history, there have been many collectible and rare Corvettes built. We can all appreciate the design of the '63 Split window or the stylings of a gorgeous '57. But, for many, including the infamous Zora Arkus Duntov, there is none better then the often forgotten about 1970-1972 LT-1 Corvette. This is the Vette that did away with the typical thinking of bigger is better and offered 454 big block acceleration and power without compromising balance and handling performance. With a high revving small block 350ci engine and a 4-Speed manual transmission to run through the gears, an LT-1 Corvette offered neck-snapping acceleration and the ability to take corners the likes of any European sports car. To achieve it's legendary performance, the 1970-1972 LT-1 used some of the best internal engine parts GM ever made. A solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, impact extruded pistons, high-lift camshaft, low restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel 800 cfm Holley carburetor, and finned aluminum valve covers. Mated with the required Muncie 4-Speed, these mechanical gems produced sounds and a driving experience never to be experienced again in a production car. The 1970-1972 LT-1 marked the end of an era. It was the last solid lifter V8 produced by GM.Aside from its incredible performance characteristics, a “real deal” documented 1970-1972 LT-1 Corvette is a “Blue Chip” investment grade Corvette due to its rarity. high. Out of the 20,000+ corvettes that were built in 1972, only 1741 of them were ordered with the LT1 engine. This is a rare find, is surely among very few most original LT-1s left in existence.
