Thanks for checking out my beautiful LT-1 Convertible. It's estimated about 450 Convertibles were built in 1970 making this one very rare car. As you can see, it was a body off nut and bolt restoration on a very original car. Not only the drivetrain but the carb, alternator, starter and transistor ignition are believed to be original to the car. During NCRS judging, it was determined the water pump was not correct. I searched and found the correct date coded pump, had it rebuilt and installed on the car. Also, points were deducted for no dates on hose clamps. I searched and found the correctly date coded clamps which are also on the car. Correctly stamped AIR hoses and air filter were also installed. If you are not familiar with the Lake Mirror Concours D Elegance, check it out! Let me know if you have questions.

I want to clarify that in the ad, it says "Window Sticker" It is a reproduction window sticker.
@lt5dave – Electronic ignition was called transistor ignition that had a seperate module located on the front of the driver side inner fender and very hard to see. Has a special distributor with a magnetic pick-up inside the distributor replacing the points & condenser. ...
Great description. All LT1s should have it as well as a smog system which was typically removed.
@LowerTaxes – Beautiful LT-1! Can you get pictures of the birdcages on both sides please? ...
I can tell you the birdcage is as new. I really don't want to take it apart to reveal it. The car was completely stripped down and redone. I would be happy to remove parts if someone looked at it in person. Please see photo when it was stripped down.
