used car of the day 1970 chevrolet corvette c3 convertible

We haven't featured many 'Vettes in this here feature, but today we have a 1970 Chevrolet Corvette. It's a convertible from the C3 generation.

Also, yes, UCOTD was on hiatus last week. I was spending my days away from the keyboard, playing with cars in the wilderness. Embargoes pop tomorrow so keep an eye on this site this week for two Subaru first drives.

That bit of housekeeping out of the way, let's get back to the feature.

This Corvette has been fully restored and is a rare February 1970 build. The list of restored parts is too much to get into here, you'll have to check out the listing.

Not only has the car been restored, but it has a long list of upgrades, as well. Again, best to click on over to the listing.

Because of its pedigree, the seller is asking for $43,500 for this one. It's available in Valencia, California. Click here for more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I didn't keep the 2--3 very long as it just felt like a big and low Chevy. My old Vette was much more fun!

I think the C1, C2 and the C6's are the best looking Corvette's. The C6 ZRI is on my wish list. Dad had a 57, my current one is a Base model 2009 C6 with 6 speed LS3.

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
