1970 Corvette coupe with LS1 / T56 - Two magazine feature artices for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2) based on 297 votes
The car was featured in two magazine articles in recent years. I will include one copy of each magazine. (AutoTuning Swait - Nov 2008 and Corvette Enthusiast - Feb 2010)

It was originally a base 350 car with 4-speed but it is now powered by a cammed LS1 with T56 6-speed manual transmission.  
The car received a body-off restoration approximately 15 years ago. The paint was deemed acceptable. so it was left alone.
 The frame and all suspension components were sandblasted. patched. welded. and painted to look brand new.
 Engine swap was completed in 2004. The odometer hasn't worked for as long as I've owned the car so the true mileage is unknown.

Here are some of the highlights:

Body

Stock body. painted black with white 12” wide stripe
American Racing Ansen vintage wheels
L88 hood
Painted rear bumpers / chrome front
The car was painted black well before I bought the car 20 years ago and would be considered “driver-quality”. The stripe was added during the restoration. The doors were repainted in 2007 after the paint started peeling. The paint on the seams on the fenders is thin. as is typical of these cars with older paint jobs. Overall. I would consider the paint a 6-7 out of 10.
Heater box was removed to make room to mount PCM.
Windshield wipers were removed. All parts will be included to put them back if buyer chooses.
