Vehicle Description
Nearly any vintage Corvette has an undeniable "wow" factor, but
this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette occupies some seriously rarified air.
Only a couple of hundred miles past a painstaking restoration, it's
not only been masterfully refurbished both inside and out, but it
also comes with a collection of restoration photos to document the
work that's gone into bringing this classic to its top-notch
condition.
Viewing this '69 is like getting the opportunity to go back in time
and see your favorite world class athlete in their absolute prime -
but, while that athlete's skills will surely diminish with time,
this classic greets the present day at its best. Third generation
Corvettes netted a legion of devoted fans due to their inspired
styling - the car buying public no doubt knew they were glimpsing a
very compelling look at the future. This one, clad in Cortez silver
paint that's authentic down to the type of lacquer it features, is
an absolute attention magnet. The paint not only gets high marks
for its original composition, but also its quality - from front
bumper to back, the chrome really looks great and the boxes for
those all-important finishing touches have all been checked. When
you see that "427" emblem on the long, contoured hood proclaiming
the outstanding power sitting underneath, it's a definite
mood-elevator. Adding to the awesomeness on display is this vintage
'Vette's t-top configuration - allowing you to easily transition to
an open-air driving experience whenever you choose, and its
removable panels are in great condition.
The black vinyl interior has been thoroughly refurbished to the
same exacting level of originality on display outside the doors.
Chevy really had their Corvette design game dialed in during the
late '60s and the outstanding driving environment here is a great
mix of style, functionality and finish. The way the high-backed
buckets fit so well into the curvature of the cockpit is really
impressive to behold and, with so few miles logged on this
restoration, you won't find evidence of wear on either their
surfaces or those of the fresh door panels they're bracketed by.
Climb inside, take your position behind the wheel and you'll feel
like you're at the helm of a fighter plane, with an assortment of
controls sitting in front of you so plentiful they extend to the
center of the dash - all featuring fresh, easily readable faces.
The distinctively angled center console is also in top form and its
unique design places the shifter within very easy reach.
The L71 427 cubic inch V8 sitting at the center of the engine
compartment was the premium powerplant when this Corvette rolled
out. Armed with its tri-power carburetion - three 2-barrel carbs
sit underneath its triangle shaped original air cleaner - it
carries an impressive 435 horsepower in factory form and sits in an
engine bay surrounded by unusually clean components and fresh
hoses. It pairs with a 4-speed manual transmission to provide the
fitting "hands on" driving experience for a renowned performance
classic like this. Disc brakes at all four corners provide
fade-resistant stopping power and an independent rear suspension
combines with a low, road hugging stance to make this Corvette a
corner carving champion as it prowls the asphalt on its 15" stock
wheels outfitted with Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Take a look below
and you'll see one of the cleanest undercarriages you're likely to
encounter on a classic car. Very impressive.
With its unusual level of quality, array of top tier factory
components and freshly restored condition, this 1969 Chevrolet
Corvette will be an outstanding acquisition. Call today!
