Equipment
350/370hp LT1 engine, 4-speed, hub caps and trim rings, Silvertown red line tires, pushbutton radio, power windows, Protect-O-Plate, tank sticker.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers. Oxidation around the brake cylinders and the exhaust manifold but otherwise the restored engine bay is a little dirty but well kept. Very good paint and chrome. The wheels are a little tired. Original but sound switchgear and steering wheel. The rest of the interior is restored. Not a perfect restoration, but pretty enough to be proud of.
Market commentary
A genuine LT1 in this condition should bring a lot closer to $50,000, so this was a solid buy but its price here was comparable with its sale at the Leake Oklahoma City auction in2014 for $22,000. Earlier in the day, a fresher and more highly documented '70 LT1 coupe in Mulsanne Blue sold for $73,700, stealing this green example's thunder a bit. The new owner should be highly satisfied with the LT1, and particularly with the price paid for it.
