Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet Corvette CoupeDaytona Yellow w/Black interior L68
427/400hp 4-spd manual transmission. We here at Corvette Mike are
always on the hunt for great cars. Whether they be late model low
mile examples or a rare and unique vintage muscle car. We never
know what might turn up or be offered to us. But we have to admit
the rare and unique pieces are our favorites! So we were especially
stoked when this Daytona Yellow '69 was presented to us! The '69 is
looked back on fondly and considered one of if not the most
desirable of the third generation Corvettes. The C3 or "Shark"
bodied cars were introduced a year earlier in '68 and they were
instant hits! Though almost identical to the previous generation
C2's underneath the C3's were all new topside! The Mako Shark
II/Manta-Ray inspired body was sleek from end to end with a lower
center of gravity than the previous generation Corvette making a
great handling car even better! The interior was aircraft-like
which came in handy with the vast array of motivating power
available under the hood! From the base 300hp small block to the
monster 500hp plus L88 big block there were enough choices to
pretty much "custom build" the Corvette of your dreams (and your
competitors nightmares if racing was the intention). And the vast
array of available options gave buyers the ability to build some
fairly unusual cars. For example you could combine the awesome L71
427/435hp big block with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Or the
powerful Tri-power L68 427/400hp big block with air conditioning!
Other options like power brakes power steering power windows
tilt/tele steering wheel leather seats am/fm radio and for the
first and only year offered on a C3; side mounted exhaust system!
The list goes on and on. What you ended up with was a car just like
the one presented here. It's got all the options listed and more!
On top of that add in a meticulous nut and bolt frame off
restoration done to the highest of standards utilizing many of the
original parts including the engine and most of the interior! Then
top it off with just about every piece of factory documentation
including the Tank Sticker Build Sheet Protect-O-Plate Owner's Kit.
Even the original keys in their original envelope with the
knock-outs still in place! This is an investment grade Corvette not
to be missed by any discriminating collector who truly wants the
best parked in his or her garage! Visit Corvette Mike online at
