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 Corvette L71 -One of 2722 built

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, its 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
