Estimate:

This spectacular Stingray convertible is from one of the most desirable years for drivers and collectors alike. This 1969 Corvette has recently been the recipient of a "complete makeover" including a show-quality finish in correct Monza Red, new front and rear bumpers, emblems and boasting an all-new red vinyl/comfort weave upholstery and a new black convertible top. Perhaps, the best feature of this car is the original factory installed and correct 427-cid, 390-hp V-8 engine, a rarity in itself (approximately 10,500 in 1969 from the more than 38,000 Corvettes produced), plus it has the popular four-speed manual transmission. Options include power steering, completely refurbished four-wheel disc brakes, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, power windows, fender louver trim inserts and an aftermarket stereo. It also sports new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires with new caps and trim rings (Rally wheels) which round out the appearance of this stunning machine. It is reported to run and drive "like new."
