Vehicle Description
A numbers-matching L68 tri-power 427 big block with the original
"Rock Crusher" four-speed manual and factory-correct Fathom Green
paint... oh yeah, this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is
everything you want in a fast and distinguished vintage 'Vette.
Fathom Green is a great color to have on a big block 'Vette. It has
the mean attitude similar to black but with added sophistication
like a British Racing Green. And with the investment in a recent
respray, there's an extra hint of luster. It gives distinction to
the crisp lines of the big block hood, the well-fitting doors, and
where the tall rear fender line meets the European styled Kamm
tail. Plus, the early C3 cars are the ones to own because of all
the great brightwork. On a properly presented '69 that means nicely
finished intricate chrome bumpers, bright rocker panels, and
shining side inserts that truly give this Stingray a set of gills.
Top it off with a correct Rally wheel package on cool redline
tires, and this is the kind of car that will grab attention in even
the most finicky Corvette crowd.
Inside is more reasons to make Corvette fans green with envy. This
factory-correct interior looks quite well preserved, and all the
features you want are working correctly, like the AM/FM radio and
power windows. And since this is from the era of the removable rear
window, you can take it out with the T-tops to have a true open-air
experience. The C3 Corvette is a driver's car with the large dual
speedo and tach package right in front of you, and there's a full
set of gauges to the side. But we know what really grabbed all your
attention... the bright chrome shifter seizes your focus like a
beacon begging you to get in and start this one up.
When you twist the key, the symphony begins. There's just no
mistaking the big power and big rumble from a big block that's
serenading through a dual exhaust. With 400 advertised horsepower,
this numbers-matching L68 427 cubic-inch V8 is a true legend forged
in steel. If you can get off the road long enough to show off this
motor, you'll be rewarded with a very nice engine bay that has the
correct Chevy orange block, bright valve covers, and the triangle
air filter that proudly advertises the triple-deuce carburetor
setup. Then again, the tidy belts, wires, and hoses are not only
great for presentation sake, but also they're another reminder that
big block Corvettes were made to be enjoyed. So you'll love taking
full control of the monster motor with the original Muncie M22
close ratio four-speed manual transmission. And because the C3 was
one of the best sports cars of its day, the fully independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes mean this monster 'Vette is
easy to tame.
The big block makes this a mean green machine, but the well
maintained timeless lines make it easy to love. Classics this nice
don't come along too often or stay too long. Call today!!!
