For all visiting this classified, I'd just like to add that I know Ziggy personally and his attention to detail and doing everything the right way in unequaled whether he is working on his own or helping out his friends. His nut/bolt comment is spot on and you can be assured that this build is no less than perfect in every way. This C3 is a gem that anyone of us would love to own and be damn proud of.

I have been up close to this 1970 Corvette restoration off & on over the past 5 years toward its completion. If I had the means, it would be in my stable and no one would be seeing this Ad. This Corvette is a true example of what does matter the most … “Doing it Right and Not Doing it Quick”. Paralleled and as important is this Seller’s attention to detail and only by using the right tools. I personally witness this on many occasions; including 3 long days in his garage when my Corvettes were blessed by being up on his QuickJacks. I think mine was his first C7-A8 Mobil-1 trans fluid switch. I will miss seeing this beauty when I visit someone who has become a real great friend of mine. This listing is definitely worthy of adding this video from one of my visits. I hope it’s helpful for anyone considering an offer for purchase. 😁👍🏻

I've known Ziggy for a number of years and can honestly say that the restoration work that was completed on this car is second to none. This car looks as though it just rolled off the factory assembly line. This car is definitely worth considering by anyone looking for a beautiful C3 or wanting to add a pristine example to their collection.

I first met Ziggy during the Meet in the Middle cruise and have ran with him and his lovely wife on many other cruises since. During this time I have come to learn his love for all things corvette and this is deffinalty shows in the restoration in his '70 corvette!

Ziggy is meticulous in his work, weather its doing a complete fluid change on my C7 or cleaning up that nut on his C3 that no one will ever see, he takes great pride in his work.

I have seen this C3, it's as advertised and amazing! Ziggy is a straight shooter, anyone considering this beauty can rest assured it is one of the best offered for sale and can buy with confidence!

This C3 is better than the factory ones when new. It’s a beauty
Ziggy restored this car with pride a passion. He’s very meticulous when working on his car or anyone else’s like mine as well. He takes extra steps that’s not necessary when doing any work on cars including keeping it clean as well. He does it right.
If I was in the market to buy. I’d buy this car. In fact I’d buy any car off of Ziggy knowing the care he puts into it.

Oh man that brings back memories I had an LS5 4 speed 70 corvette in the same colour and had flow masters on it and it sounds the same. I do miss that car but man the new technology in the car I have today can not be beat!

Eric and I have known Zig for about the same amount of time and I couldn't agree more with his statements. If you want a car that is built to the highest level of OCD/analness and craftmenship... this is your choice. Even though Ziggy HAS been known to go overboard in the OCD/analness department 😅 this will only benefit the buyer who ends up with this masterpiece.

Like others on here have stated. Once you see this car you will want this car.
Zig has done an over-the-top restore on this beast.
I have known Ziggy for years..he has been to my place,I have been to his place. This is the kind of job you want done to a car ..meticulous is a small word compared to his approach to everything he does.
This is a way of life for him whether it is his family,his work or his toys. They all get the best.
Make arrangements to come look at the car and you will be going home with the car.
