Vehicle Description
This is a numbers-matching big block 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L36
born in a full midnight package. So yes, it's the kind of car that
deserves to have been treated with care. That's why it has a great
history, all the way up to being in the hands of a noted C3
corvette collector. But more than just an awesome story and all the
right originality, you know there's nothing like hitting the open
road and taking full control of a 427 V8 with a four-speed.
We would all love our classic cars to have started with an old lady
who only drove on Sundays. Unfortunately, you can't get that with a
Corvette, but this one may just have the next best thing. Its tale
starts with being bought new from Division Chevrolet by man who
lived in an Amish community. He drove it and eventually stored it
in a barn for years. That's why the low odometer is also believed
to reflect the actual total miles. Today, this car has the
unmistakable look of a Stingray that has been treated with respect,
and that can be rooted in the color. This was born a factory Tuxedo
Black car, and Corvette people know that's special. Chevy didn't
offer this ultra-desirable color for all the years of the C3, and
in fact, this is only one of about only 900 they could complete in
black that year. It was given a quality respray later in life, and
today that means it still retains a nice gloss in the sunshine. The
black is also a great way to show off the brightwork features, like
the sharply-pointed front end, full rocker trim, Rally wheels, and
two-piece rear bumper. The panels retain a good fit that highlight
the seductive curves in the profile. These are the years for the
details lovers, with the brightly colored fender vents, flying
buttress pillars, and a hint of well-integrated spoiler on the
race-inspired rear. This was even born with some of the best sporty
details, like the redline tires and the aggressive hood that
signals there's a big block underneath.
The factory black interior completes the ultra-desirable full
blackout package. The first thing that you will notice is the rare
speed warning indicator option and a tilt-telescopic steering
wheel. It's rare features like these that has this car listed as a
true 1 of 1 on the C3 Registry! The rich darkness of the bucket
seats, door panels, and carpeting allow the accents to pop on
everything from the door trim to the three-spoke steering wheel.
For the driver, the essential gauges in front of you with a full
auxiliary readout package prominently mounted front and center. And
the bright gearshift is just calling out for your right hand. Not
only do you get to take the T-tops out, but this is from the years
of the removable rear window. So you can go from an enclosed coupe
to a convertible-like breeze any time you want. There's even an
upgraded retro-style AM/FM digital tuner to give you upgraded
driving music.
You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park this
Stingray, because the motor is ready to be shown off. The bold
block mixes with the polished valve covers, distributor shield, and
air topper to look awesome in the middle of the dark and tidy
engine bay. And when people read the 427 callout on top, you get to
tell them all about this car's originality. This not only has the
verified numbers-matching L36 big block V8, but also the
numbers-matching Muncie M21 four-speed transmission and original
3.08 Positraction rear end. While that will make the historian in
you weak in the knees, the enthusiast wants to experience all of
this together. After all, the big V8 power combined with the
close-ratio manual transmission and sure-footed rear end is ideal.
It come together with the four-wheel power disc brakes, power
steering, and the fully independent suspension to remind you why
the Corvette is truly America's sports car.
The sale comes with terrific paperwork, including the NCRS shipping
data, reproduction window sticker, maintenance records, owner's
manual, and a brief history of this car. Even the Firestone spare
tire is verified date correct! This is a stunning Stingray with a
story to tell. It's waiting for a true collector and enthusiast.
