    I have had the opportunity to check mine and the hose to the PCV passes to the front of the carburetor. Sounds to me like we have a winner.

      The car looked pretty nice in the photos. Too bad there weren't any photos of the P-O-P or close-ups of the engine pad or rear end code to help convince people that it was not an LT-1 "tribute car".

        The PVC hose on my '72 LT1 is in front of the carb. Terry I know you know, but for others; yes, the valve cover is on backwards.

          The seller told me that I greatly inconvenienced his wife, because he kept those things in the safety deposit box and she had to retrieve them from the bank. I like you want to see the details and I never did get to see those items. Just as well, it is the little things that make Forrest run.

            Hey guys,

            How about the low low selling price at the time this was posted? When I see a 70 LT-1 in that price, range red flags automatically go up.

              I guess I'm just getting old and cynical. When I heard about the wife going back and forth to the bank; the first thing that came to mind is that the guy is probably "housebound" and has a lot of time on his hands. It's not uncommon for people in this situation to look for ways to amuse themselves. And, whatbetter way than anything you can do on a computer. First of all, if the guy really wanted to sell his car; he'd have all the documentation at his finger tips. Let's face it; we all know exactly what information and documentation any serious prospect would want; and would probably have it scanned into a file and be able to e-Mail it at will. Original documentation - available when it's time to change the money. My guess is he was probably amusing himself by "weighing" the car. Dealers will sometimes send cars to the auction for no other reason than to test the current wholesale. Also, we all know there's a lot of "bogus" Vettes out there. All else being equal; LT-1 represents what?... I'm taking a stab here,maybe 10 -12K difference. While his "ask price" is attractive for a"stand-up" car, any reasonable person would certainly want to make sure it is what it's supposed to be. And, any hesitancy on his part in coming forth with reasonable information would make me run like a cockroach from a light bulb.

                Re: Anyone know this car?

                Seller told me he bought this car as an "investment" I found the Ebay auction of less than a year ago where he bought it for 33K. Trying to make 30% on your money in less than a year is pretty much pie in the sky I think. He also told me he has a Mulsanne Blue 70 LT1 coupe, with a Duntov, which he does not mention is quite a few years old, and it was a body on resto when done by the previous owner. He told me he would let me have that one for 70K. I guess I am missing something here, but I think that is a high premium.

                  He's obviously not serious. Instead of you wasting his time, it appears to have been the other way around.

                    LT1 tributes were being created three years after they were new. It was a very popular game for some in the mid 70's. For the unsuspecting, or maybe did not matter at the time, the best part is the rocker studs pull out pretty quick when you push near the red line - oops - that could happen with a LT1 motor?

                      Ron,
                      Just to piggy back on the point you are making: In 1978 I saw a 1970 with A/C and LT1 that the owner was presenting as original at a car show -- a car show where a lot of people should have known better. He had this long story to go with his assertions. Some in the audience were latching on to his story hook, line & sinker. Both fuel lines were still in the frame rail, but he had done a lot of nice work to the rest of the car.
