1969 Chevrolet Corvette Custom for sale!
This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette represents
a stunning and meticulously executed tribute to the legendary
Greenwood Daytona IMSA racing Corvettes that
dominated the American racing scene throughout the 1970s. Fully
restored and upgraded to capture the look and performance essence
of those wide-bodied endurance racers, this car features a
handcrafted custom body kit styled after the aerodynamic Greenwood
Daytona IMSA designs that earned Corvette its
reputation as a serious track contender. Finished in deep metallic
black with a striking red leather interior, the presentation is at
once aggressive and elegant, showcasing the distinctive flared
fenders, deep front air dam, and high rear spoiler that defined the
Greenwood cars.Like this car, Greenwood's bodies were built by
Eckler. The most extreme of Greenwood Brothers cars, this car was
designed by IMSA-winning Burt & John
Greenwood whose 1969 L88 aero C3 set a record of 215 MPH
on the MulsanneStraight at LeMans and ran at the Daytona 24 Hours
and Sebring. Beneath the sculpted hood lives a
427 cubic-inch V8 engine producing an estimated 600 horsepower,
paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox that channels the raw,
big-block torque through a traditional rear-drive layout. With only
240 miles since its completion,
this Corvette remains in pristine condition, both
mechanically and cosmetically, and drives as tight and strong as it
looks. Modern conveniences such as power windows and a tilt
steering wheel blend subtle comfort with its otherwise purposeful
race-inspired character.The Greenwood aftermarket body kits of the
era allowed dedicated enthusiasts to build tribute cars inspired
by Corvette's IMSA campaign, and this example captures
that heritage with remarkable precision. This car has a body kit
that was built by Ecklers. It has Centerline wheels and Mickey
Thompson Indy profile tires. The body is finished in Chromaflair
paint which can look black, red or green as you walk around the car
in different lighting. Every aspect of this build reflects a deep
respect for Corvette historyblending iconic
late-1960s American muscle with the aerodynamic innovations that
pushed the limits of performance in international endurance racing.
For collectors or enthusiasts seeking a show-stopping tribute that
delivers both visual drama and serious horsepower, this
custom 1969 Corvette embodies the Greenwood
spirit with modern craftsmanship and unrivaled attention to detail.
