Vehicle Description
History
The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by
Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. "Stingray" script
nameplates appeared on front fenders, now one word, in contrast to
the "Sting Ray" name used previously.
Why This Car Is Special
Car and Driver magazine wrote in October 1968, "The small-engine
Corvettes are marginally fast and extraordinarily civilized. The
large-engine Corvettes are extraordinarily fast and marginally
civilized." So is the 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 L36 Convertible
we have here at Skyway Classics. It has that long sleek look and
the power to back up the look.
Mechanical Specs
The 427cubic inch L36 V8 is this car's original, matching-numbers
engine and makes a substantial 390 horsepower and shifts through a
4-speed transmission. With endless reserves of torque and an
attitude that practically invites you to plant your foot on the
floor, it's a blast to drive.
Under the hood you will find the numbers-matching L36 427 cubic
inch V8 with 390 horse that looks as it did from the factory.
Everything appears correct, including the chrome valve covers,
aluminum intake, Quadrajet Carb, and stickers on the chrome air
cleaner. It's a clean engine bay and has a lot of factory original
hoses and clamps.
It rides on Rally wheels with BF Goodrich tires and the car rides
and handles well with a traditional Corvette look.
Interior
The mostly original interior continues to look quite nice. It does
have later model black bucket seats. It does have black carpets and
the door panels, three-spoke wheel, 4-speed gearshift, the original
gauge package with the large speedo and tach, full auxiliary
readout package, heat/defrost controls, and just below the AM/FM
radio.
Exterior
Our 1969 Corvette look great in a burnished bronze color scheme
that had a recent repaint, it should be no surprise that it remains
in great condition. The C3s are considered by some as the best
looking of the bunch with their chrome bumpers and hidden
windshield wipers, and this one is no exceptions.
Conclusion
The 1969 Corvette L36 Convertible we have here at Skyway Classics
is a great driver and a fun convertible to ride and drive and
enjoy, plus it is a big block 427 L36 Corvette, who could ask for
more.
