Vehicle Description
This is a fantastically restored 1969 Chevrolet Corvette with a
full blue package, four-on-the-floor, and the ultra-desirable 427ci
V8 with Tri-Power. So you can dig into all the details, but you
already know this is the big block you want in your garage.
The full frame-off restoration on this one was completed less than
two years ago. So that ultra-crisp Stingray you see in the pictures
is just as striking in-person. This was born a Lemans Blue coupe.
So if the color is going to be named after such a famous race
circuit, then you better believe they took their time respraying it
for this big block power machine. A quality restoration also means
getting the details right with doors that close with confidence,
headlights that shut flush, new weather stripping, and an overall
look you can drive with pride. Brightwork on these were used in all
the right places. Sometimes it's bold, like on the shark-like
pointed front end and the artful two-piece rear bumper. Other
places are subtler, like the trim within the big block hood. In
total, it delivers a car with a terrific sense of classic style,
right down to those redline tires.
Inside, the sea of blue continues. From the texture of the bucket
seats to the feeling of the carpeting, this is the kind of
investment that makes you feel like you're in a time warp to 1969.
Even the correct AM/FM radio is cranking out the tunes! The
steering wheel has that instant grippy feel, and it gives you a
nice view of the large speedo and tach directly in front. Plus, all
your auxiliary readouts are at eye-level to remind you Chevy built
this for real drivers. You're going to see more of how they had the
right eye for details during the restoration in features like the
date-coded seatbelts and the working clock. And because this looks
so great inside, you'll love taking the T-tops out and sharing this
one with the world. Also don't forget, this is a year where the
rear window also is removable to deliver a true wind-in-your-hair
driving experience whenever you want.
The 427 cubic-inch V8 has the kind of big block power that make us
weak in the knees, and it has true royalty status when there's a
triple set of Holley dual-barrel carburetors on top for a proper
Tri-Power setup. You know you'll be lifting the hood on this one
everywhere you park, and so the engine bay was restored for showing
off. Chevy people know to gravitate towards the Tri Power's bright
triangle air topper, and everyone else will be drawn in by a setup
so clean it looks factory fresh. Not only does the engine bay look
award-worthy, but also they took the time to have date-correct
components, like the carbs, intake, exhaust, starter, overflow
tank, and more. While all of it looks terrific, you also know this
car was made for driving. The suspension received plenty of
attention during the restoration, even the factory shocks were
rebuilt. It gives you the full confidence to take control of the
four-speed manual transmission and full open up this big block
power. And because the Corvette was a superior classic sports
machine, with a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc
brakes, it still has great moves on the road today.
The sale comes with nice paperwork, including the owner's manual, a
reproduction window sticker, a reproduction buildsheet, and photos
documenting the big investment in the total restoration. So the
only way this all-blue big block Tri-power machine will leave you
feeling blue is if you miss this deal. Call today!!!
