1970 Corvette Specifications
Total Production = 17,316 (10,668 Coupe, 6,648 Convertible)

1970 Yellow Convertible

Big block engines increased from 427 to 454 cubic inches and the powerful 370 hp LT1 small block engine made its debut. Sales were their lowest since 1962 due to a late start in the production year.

FIBERGLASS FACT: The first ZR1 performance package appeared in 1970 (not 1990, as some might believe) and included the LT1 engine and a host of other performance items.
