Description
Show winning 1970 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray L46 350 V8 4-Speed Manual. Finished in its original Mulsanne Blue (Paint Code 976) with a matching blue interior, this numbers-matching Corvette was imported into the UK in 2016 and has since undergone an extensive body-off restoration.
Further testament to the quality of the restoration, this Corvette also won the best C3 and car of the show at the 2025 Corvette nationals, and the best classic Corvette at stars and stripes 2026.
Specification includes the desirable L46 350 350hp V8, four-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, power-assisted steering, wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes, Koni dampers, period-style side pipes and an upgraded mohair black roof.
During the restoration, the chassis was fully stripped and galvanised, providing long-term protection against corrosion and helping preserve the car for years to come. The underside today presents extremely well and reflects the considerable amount of work carried out throughout the restoration.
The body was subsequently repainted in its original Mulsanne Blue. During preparation, the body shop confirmed that the Corvette remained in its original factory colour and had not previously been subjected to multiple repaints. The factory trim tag remains with the car and confirms paint code 976, Mulsanne Blue.
Importantly, this is a numbers-matching example, retaining its original L46 350ci V8 producing 350hp, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine stamping corresponds correctly with the car’s VIN and carries the correct L46 manual suffix, confirming the original engine remains with the car. The bonnet is the correct-style 1970 Corvette small-block bonnet, retaining the proper period appearance.
The restoration itself has been extensive, covering the body, chassis, suspension, braking system, mechanicals and overall presentation, with a substantial collection of invoices and receipts accompanying the car, The Corvette has covered approximately 2, 000 miles since completion.
