----My 70 LT-1 roadster delivered new with 4:10's went 12.90 with fairly minimal mods. Only headers and a borrowed set of slicks, and smog removed, but absolutely no other mods of any kind. The car was 3 weeks old and I never even adjusted the idle. I thought that was pretty stout as did everybody there that day at Palm Beach Dragway, but you have me beat by a ton. Goes to show you what a bit of twisting can do, I guess......Bill S

I don't know how relevant this is but a 71 LS5 Vette with 28K miles sold for $27K US. I don't remember all the details but I do remember the car was white and was almost all original. It was up for over a month and the owner dropped the price a number of times. I posted the add here back when it was up. A local dealer mechanic had a 70 LT1 that ran 12.4s. It was well tuned but still mostly stock.

Not to get off topic, but how does the 70 LT1's compare to the '68 L79 Vette's? I myself have never been much of a Vette guy, and since I'm 54 next month, I'm sorta looking at some. The LT1's seem to be a nice packaged all around car. The little 350 seems like a nice motor.

I think the L46 is an under appreciated motor. |

Ha....I’m in the middle of finishing up a drivetrain rebuild on a 70z for my dad so if the deal doesn’t happen I’ll get a pretty good taste of the 70 LT1. The car is part of a two car deal that I’m trying to put together. Since the corvette is missing the original block, I mostly just want to get the other car. So we will see.....
