The Corvette C3 is regularly compared to the design of the classic Coca-Cola bottle, this beautiful copy also has the same color. The third generation of the Corvette can be described as one of the roughest of the range and everything about this model exudes 'muscle car'. Less chrome than its predecessor, a long bonnet, two seats that are emotionally placed on the rear axle: the C3 is actually the recipe that has been embroidered for generations.
1969 was the first year in which the 350 cu was delivered in two flavors: 300 hp and 350 hp, where we can report the happy news that this 1970 Corvette contains the second variant, the L46. This 5.7 liter V8 is mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, so we can guarantee you that this Corvette will provide a lot of fun. The sprint to 96 km/h in 6.4 seconds is anything but childish in 1969 and even today the Corvette delivers serious performance.
This Monza Red Corvette was first registered in 1970 and thus has the Stingray logos on the front fenders and modified door panels. Just like the paint color, the interior is also red, a rare combination that works out insanely well. Walking around this Corvette you can quickly conclude that it is very neat. In the past, the Corvette has already been given a new coat of paint in the original color and this is more than neat. The few body seams are nice and narrow and even and the doors close nicely and easily.
The interior is also neatly in order. The bright red upholstery has already been renewed. The dashboard and the door panels are all still very neat. Where the dashboard of the C2 still had a kind of Jukebox appearance, the C3 is all a lot less shiny chrome and aluminum. Two large, fairly low-positioned large meters behind the wheel and a group of small information providers in a black plastic panel in the center of the dashboard. Even further to right-handed inserts that ensure that small luggage remains in the interior and is not carried away by the wind.
One of the favorite controls can be found in the center tunnel: the gear lever for the gearbox. Four forward gears that each provide a firm push in the back.
The 'Vette' drives like a Vette should drive, with the loud thunder of the V8 and very pleasant driving characteristics that keep the middle between sporty and comfort. The American is very alert and the engine performs as you would expect with 350 hp.
The combination of 'red over red' and the manual gearbox make this a very desirable C3. If you still need that last push, we cordially invite you to come to Brummen, because it is even more beautiful in real life!
