1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/390 HP For Sale NCRS 5-Star Bowtie
Award Winner LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1969
Chevrolet Corvette The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette marked the second
year of the dramatically styled C3 generation, which carried
forward the performance and engineering excellence that defined the
Corvette nameplate throughout the 1960s. Among the most desirable
powerplants offered was the L36 427-cubic-inch big-block V8, rated
at 390 horsepower and known for its blend of raw performance and
everyday drivability. This particular example represents one of the
finest unrestored 1969 Corvettes in existence - an NCRS Five-Star
Bowtie Award winner, the highest honor conferred by the National
Corvette Restorers Society for originality and preservation. Among
very few to ever receive this distinction, this Monza Red 427/390
HP Automatic example stands as a reference-grade survivor
recognized nationwide for its authenticity and condition.
Originally residing in Palo Alto, California for 38 years before
relocating to Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota in 2007, the car
remains remarkably original with only 19,500 miles showing on the
odometer. It retains its factory Monza Red paint, standard black
interior, original exhaust system, and even the original spare
tire, remaining unaltered except for routine maintenance. Powered
by its numbers matching 427/390 HP big-block V8 paired with a Turbo
Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission and Positraction 3.08 rear
axle, this Corvette is both powerful and effortless to drive.
Factory options include power steering, power brakes, a
tilt-telescopic steering column, PO2 wheel covers, and an alarm
system, underscoring the car's premium configuration and comfort
features for 1969. Its authenticity has been verified through
extensive NCRS judging, earning an impressive array of awards that
highlight its exceptional preservation. The car received Chapter
and Regional Top Flight Awards in 2011, 2012, and 2014, achieving
an impressive 97.0core at the 2014 Regional meet, which also earned
its Bowtie sign-off for Nationals. That same year, it received the
4-Star Bowtie Award at the 2014 Nationals, followed by the
prestigious 5-Star Bowtie Award at the 2015 Nationals. Judging
scores confirmed its outstanding originality across all categories:
Interior 98Exterior 96Mechanical 95and Chassis 93Owing to its
condition, the car was even used as a judging reference vehicle at
the 2014 NCRS National Convention and at several local chapter
events. The NCRS Bowtie and Star Awards are among the most
respected honors in the Corvette world, granted exclusively to
unrestored, historically significant examples that have survived in
exceptional original condition. These awards evaluate cars across
four key areas - interior, exterior, mechanical, and chassis - and
a Five-Star Bowtie recognizes excellence in all four. Designed to
promote preservation rather than restoration, the Bowtie Award
program ensures that significant Corvettes like this one remain
educational touchstones for the collector community. Complete with
all its original documentation and paperwork, this 1969 Corvette
stands as one of the most authentic and celebrated L36-powered
examples known. With low mileage, unbroken provenance, and top-tier
NCRS honors, it represents the pinnacle of originality and
preservation - a benchmark survivor and an extraordinary
opportunity for any discerning Corvette collector. This 1969
Chevrolet Corvette is an unrestored survivor finished in Monza Red
with a black vinyl interior that retains its numbers-matching 427ci
L36 V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car
was first delivered to David Varner Chevrolet in San Francisco,
California, and reportedly remained with the original owner in Palo
Alto for 38 years. Additional Details: -
