1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray LT1 Convertible

From 1970 to 1973 Chevrolet offered a solid-lifter version of their 350 that better met US emissions laws. These cars produced an honest 370 bhp without the added weight of the big-block 454.

Throughout the 3-year run, only 6,500 Convertibles were ordered as an LT1.
