    My Dad purchased this same car in 71. Took it to his engine builder to put it back to 70 specs plus 100+ more hp. Sold it to a Vette dealer in California in 72. Shortly after the sale the dealer called and asked, “what did you do to the engine?” My Dad cautiously answered, “nothing, why do you ask?” The dealer responded, “I own 50 Corvettes and this one would suck the doors off everyone one on the lot! He said, I’m keeping this car for myself I just want to know how to tune it.” My Dad said, “I’ll send you the specs.” FYI, the engine was built in Lincoln, NE at Lewis Automotive. Wayne Lewis built NHRA record setting small blocks in the 60’s & 70’s. He also worked at Speedway Motors as their head engine builder. R.I.P. Wayne. 🙏 I was just a 4 yr old kid at the time but I vividly remember riding in this car. 😍

    In my early career as a mechanic I worked for a guy that built racing engines. That was 1975. He did a motor for an early LT1 corvette. I got the distinction of pulling it out and putting it back and breaking it in. What a PIA to work on. We had several Corvette customers. Shop rule, all drop lights were unplugged and not allowed to be used anywhere in the shop until they were done and gone. No head lamps or battery powered lights back then. You just held a flashlight in your teeth. No hoists in that shop either. Everything was done on the floor with jack stands. At the time they were just old used cars. LT1, DZ, LS6 and and a few LS7 crate motors. The odd Ford Boss 302 and boss 429. At the time I didn't realize what we were working on. That was a lifetime ago.

    A few years ago I saw a '70 Vette in a parking lot by the Chattahoochee here in Atlanta. Went over to look at it, met the owner. Bought it new, LT 1, "I always liked the small block revs vs big blocks". Blue paint was cracked and he was talking about getting it painted. I cautioned him that they only have original paint once. He was a pilot (Delta?), bet he still has the car.

    Wow. Another great find Dennis! Brings back memories for me as a kid. My father had an LT1, Bridgehampton Blue, and also had the luggage rack on the back. Power windows, and same interior as yours. He got it dirt cheap back in 1970 because someone (before him) took it for a test drive and grenaded the engine. The dealer was going to do a replacement engine, but Dad bought it "as is, no warranty" and rebuilt the engine with new internal parts from the parts department. The machine shop said Block and heads were fine but the crankshaft was severely scored. So with a new steel crank, and new .60 over pistons 😮, he put it back together and man o man! It was truly a rocket ship! Unfortunately, our family was growing, my brother was due soon, so dad had to sell the car to make way for a family truckster, that was good on gas. OPEC CRISIS was the other factor in selling his car and mom's car; (my other favorite car) a 1967 Mercury Cougar GT 390 4V 4-speed. I grew up in the right time!!!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

    This episode and Corvette sent me back to 1970 growing up in Colorado Springs. My best friend's oldest sister dated a USAF Cadet and back then the local Chevrolet dealership offered Corvettes at a discounted price and payment plan for the graduation class. Well I will always remember that day I went to visit my friend and a cool Corvette was sitting in his family driveway! Don't know if it was an LT1 but I do remember it was a stunning orange color! Thanks for the reminiscent of such an iconic car.

    Dennis- Enjoyed your 1970 LT-1 Corvette purchase very, very much! 1970 was the last year for GM to release a solid lifter engine and it was in the LT-1 Vette and used the 350 block and comp was 11:1. A reviewer in 1990 Vette magazine said if you never have driven a solid lifter car- this was an experience to not be missed. Watch the valve lash. Back in 1970,, my street 350 Chevy engine running solid lifters, 12.5:1 comp, Z/ 28 off- Road “140” cam- all put in my ‘55 Chevy, with tilt front end.; redline was 9,300! Stupid fun !

    Mr Collins, young man. . . . This old man very much appreciates your videos. You bring back a lot of memories
    for me. I have been fortunate enough to buy new cars since 1964, and my first new car was a 1964 Impala SS
    409, 4speed. Then I went the MoPar route with a 66 Barracuda, 67 440GTX and a 68 Hemi Charger. In 1969 I
    drove a new Buick Electra 225, no street racing, dropping points off my license. In 1970 I bought a LT1 Vette
    almost a twin to the one you featured here. The salesman said LT meant "Likely Trouble". He was right. Sold
    the Vette in 1971 and bought a 1967 Fairlant GTA. Thank you for doing the videos, I hope your company stays
    in business a very long time. Should I ever get down to Texas I will drop by, and maybe you have something I
    just can't live without. So hello from Nome, Alaska, and thanks again for the videos. I am, retired old Ron.

    I owned a 71 LT1 in 1979. It was a Roadster that someone had a rollbar installed prior to my purchase, and it was cut out. It had the correct carb and intake, and the engine balancer cracked on the hub. My friend raced Corvettes at the road courses in Ohio where we lived. He had the parts which I purchased from him. A new timing chain, too. You have to drop the oil pan off to swap out the chain. I got a good look at the crank, pink rods, and correct forged pistons. You could read the part number on the underside of the pistons. Needless to say it was a 4 bolt main block. The numbers matched but it was nice to see the inside. I paid $5 K for it and sold it for $6K two years later. It also had the removable hardtop. Wish I had kept it, but I purchased my first house back in 1982. You could find anything cheap back then.

    As you're probably aware, there's an override pull-down switch @ the bottom of the dash near the column. It opens/closes the wiper access door independent of the wiper switch. That switch enables the wipers access to the windshield in the event that the wiper door freezes shut in the winter. Improper functioning of that switch may be related to the wipers not returning to their off position.

    My 1970 LT-1 was bought new by my father, and has never been restored or taken apart. It went through NCRS 5 star BowTie process, Top Flight, and Bloomington Survivor. They are fun cars, and while mine has all the paperwork, I still drive it. Can't let them sit around and be trailer queens. I also drive my 1970 big block air coupe. Years ago my father in his LT-1 and a friend in the big block took off from a light together hard. The LT-1 had the big block till about 100mph when the big block roared by. Need to get my 54 vette back on the road that was last on the road in 73, but not sure why it was taken down. Going to be a process to sort that one out.

      I don't recall it buzzing....it just stayed lit. Opposite to the far right was, I believe, a 'door ajar' light. Same size button, but flashed red until the door(s) was closed properly.

    I have ridden in a 71 LT1 and was amazed at how it pulled. I think the horsepower and torque was reduced a little bit from 1970. I was always pro big block at that time until I went for that ride it with the LT1 that changed my thoughts.

    lookin at Vette black book and did some Algorithms in my head. I think you have
    10% of the 1281 yellow, is 12
    64% of that coupe, 85% manual, 80% black int.
    trim level 50% of that.
    seems like 1 of 2 or 3
    just my guess
    (I think they all came with manual, but still how many of these are left?)

    It is always a delicate dance between seller and buyer-- each person trying to get the best deal for themselves while trying to be fair. Even if someone wanted to try to rip Dennis off, it would be super hard to do. Thing about Dennis is that he is in it for the long haul. At least this dude here is kindof a known quantity and pretty easy to deal with.

    That's a gorgeous LT-1. It's still amazing that back in the day you could go the local Chevy dealer
    and buy a car that sounds so nice. The only thing it's missing is factory side exhaust...
    My uncle had a beautiful Elkhart green 1972 LT-1 coupe. Being the last year for the LT-1,
    and with the implementation of new emissions standards, the horsepower rating was dropped
    to 330 h.p but like many of the high performance cars back in the 60's and 70's, they were
    underrated. The 370 hp was easily 400 horsepower, and I'm sure the 330 h.p engines were
    still underrated some.
    He had the car for quite a few years but back in 2005 they had a really bad snow storm
    where he lives and it was really wet and heavy snow, and the garage collapsed.
    He was a long haul truck driver so he wasn't home when the storm happened. Had he been home,
    he could have gotten the snow shoveled off the roof.

    When I was in High school in the 1970's, a rich kid got a used 1970 LT1 Corvette my senior year. The LT1 was a parts engine in 1969, before the 1970 model year. The LT1 camshaft was originally sold as an "improved torque" replacement cam for the Z28 302 engine. In 1969, with the 350 hp L46 350 engine, the LT1 listed in the 1969 parts books was an 350 L46 engine, with the Z28 intake manifold and carb and the 302 improved torque replacement camshaft. I think the camshaft showed up in 1968, along with the "1st design" racing camshaft, that required different valve springs. The valve springs sold for the 1st design racing camshaft were made of defective steel and lost pressure fairly quickly.

    My dad had a red one with luggage rack in the back all original. He stocked driving it in 92 because he broke the transmission. It sat in the garage until the yr 2000 and sold it for basically nothing. He didn't think it was worth much cause it didn't have the big block. Seeing g that interior again gave me flashbacks sitting in that car as a little kid. I'm a Ford guy, and I still love the look of that stingray.
