11. 1970 Corvette LT1
The big block 427 and 454 engines were the most popular and sought-after in the early ’70s. However, Chevrolet introduced a fantastic option in the form of the 350 LT1. In contrast to those big and heavy engines, the LT1 was perfectly balanced with a lightweight V8 delivering 300 HP and great driving dynamics.
Available as a coupe or a convertible, this Corvette was one of the finest models since it offered great performance, nice driving manners and good fuel economy at a decent price. Despite the fact that big block Corvettes were the first to enjoy a price spike in today’s classic car market, more customers have been turning to the LT1 for its perfect driving feel and beautiful balance.
