Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet Corvette (Original 427 L71) Why Is This Car Special
The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by
Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. 'Stingray' script
nameplates appeared on front fenders, now one word, in contrast to
the �€�Sting Ray�€� name used previously. Car and Driver magazine
wrote, �€�The small-engine Corvettes are marginally fast and
extraordinarily civilized. The large-engine Corvettes are
extraordinarily fast and marginally civilized.�€� So is the 1969
Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics. It has that
long sleek look and the power to back up the look. 1969 Chevrolet

Mechanical Specs The 402 cubic inch V8 (non original engine) in is
this car makes a substantial 390 horsepower and shifts through a
3-speed auto transmission. With endless reserves of torque and an
attitude that practically invites you to plant your foot on the
floor, it's a blast to drive. Everything appears well done
including the black valve covers, intake, Quadrajet Carb,
aftermarket air conditioning, power steering and brakes, and
stickers on the chrome air cleaner. It rides on Rally wheels with
wide white letter wheels and the car rides and handles well with a
traditional Corvette look. Interior The mostly original interior
continues to look quite nice. It does have blue carpets and door
panels, three-spoke wheel, console, automatic, the original gauge
package with the large speedo and tach, full auxiliary readout
package, heat/defrost controls, and just all just below the radio.
Exterior Our 1969 Corvette look great in its one repaint of 976
paint with 411 trim it came with but it comes as no surprise that
it remains in great condition. The C3s are considered by some as
the best looking of the bunch with their chrome bumpers and hidden
windshield wipers, and this one is no exceptions. Conclusion The
1969 Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics is a great driver and
fun to ride and drive and enjoy, plus it is a big block Corvette,
who could ask for more. So give us a call at 941-254-6608.
