1970 LT-1 Corvette Convertible Located at Street Dreams-LA ~ 1229 Texas Ave Shreveport, LA ~ Call for more information: (318) 210-0982 Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business! The first LT-1 engine was introduced in the Corvette in 1970 as an option. It was a raucous, racing-inspired engine with solid valve lifters, a high-lift camshaft, and high-winding personality that redefined small-block performance. Displacing 350 ci (5.7-liter) with a compression ratio of 11:1, it was rated at 370 hp at 6,000 rpm and 380 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It was enough to push the Corvette from 0-to-60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Street Dreams is thrilled to offer one of these rare, high performance Corvettes! Introducing this stunning 1970 Mulsanne Blue Corvette LT-1 convertible, a true masterpiece of American muscle and design. This iconic vehicle is rare, highly original, and is in remarkable condition. It is equipped with it's original LT-1 engine, block number, 3970010 (suffix code CTK) and 4 speed manual transmission, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience. The famous LT-1, 5.7-liter V8 offered 370 horses and way better handling than some of the higher horsepower engines. Interestingly, LT1s were developed to satisfy a number of unique requirements, the most important being SCCA Trans Am regulations and the other being federal regulations that were coming down the line. The LT1 was a small-block 350 CI V-8 that was an engineering and technological marvel that put big-blocks and European contenders to shame. It was high-revving and lightweight, providing enough torque to absolutely run with competition that was thought of as being more capable, but, thanks to the compact and lightweight nature of the 350, the Corvette also handled very well. So it was the best of both worlds. It came riding on a four-barrel carburetor and this special high-performance version came out with top power and low-end torque. This Corvette also features a tilt steering wheel, power steering and power brakes, providing both comfort and control on the road.
