Vehicle Description
Extremely rare triple black 1968 L-89, 427/435 Corvette, NCRS Top
Flight winner with 97.5 over all score. Very Rare #'s matching
427/435 topped off with L-89 aluminum heads.
A frame-off, nut and bolt restoration was preformed on this
incredible black convertible that has achieved NCRS
judging status to
achieve the
coveted Top Flight Award. The car has validated NCRS judging sheets
with an overall score of 97.5. Under the hood of this
ominous black street beast is the original numbers matching and
date code correct 427/435hp engine topped off with the rare L89
aluminum
heads giving this car brutal
horsepower and making it one of the most desirable Corvettes, being
only one of 624 L89 cars produced. Topped off with correct
Winters
snowflake intake,
correct tri-power setup and ignition
shielding. The body on this
curvaceous Corvette is impeccable with tight lines and and
mirror finish black paint as well as newer chrome. According to
the
previous owners this car was a no hit car with bonding strips
intact
before
starting the restoration process. The trim tag was judged and
validated as being a
true black car with black
interior
making it even
more desirable.
The
interior was also restored
during the extensive
restoration
process and shows very well with wear free
bucket seats, clear crisp gauges, topped off with a black soft
top and
matching black hard top. This car came from a
high end collection
where it was
driven very sparingly, stored in climate
controlled
environment and kept on jack stands to avoid flat spots on the
tires. Less than 1200
babied miles driven since the frame-off restoration. The blue
chip
muscle car
retains its
original M-21 close ratio 4-speed transmission
backed up by its heavy
duty
posi-traction
rear end and power
disc brakes to control the power.
Rolling on correct Corvette rally rims
and redline tires for that pedigree look.
