luggage rack, and more!� Beautiful factory color combination of
Monza Red over black upholstery!� Sweet buy! Chevrolet elected to
redesign the Corvette once again for the 1968 model year with a
fresh look. Often referred to as the "mako shark" styling, the
popular 1960's Coke bottle shape was winning over audiences at the
auto shows. This longer, shapelier style gave way to a new T-top
coupe, additional engine choices, and several more options on the
order form. First introduced without any badging, the former Sting
Ray model designation returned in 1969 as Stingray instead. For
collectors, the early 1968-1972 examples carried the traditional
chrome bumpers that remain very desirable today, as well as
powertrains providing ample horsepower & torque the Corvette was
well known to provide! Offered here is a very well equipped 1969
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible finished in factory correct
974-Monza Red over ZQ4-standard black vinyl interior. Under the
hood lies its original L46 350ci V8 making a stout 350 horsepower
and 380 ft. lbs. of torque, delivered to the ground through a
4-speed Muncie transmission and 3.36 Posi-traction rear axle ratio!
Options include factory air conditioning, power disc brakes, power
steering, side-mounted exhaust system, rear luggage rack, Delco
AM/FM pushbutton radio, headrests, Soft-Ray Astro Ventilation
glass, side fender vent trim, BF Goodrich Radial T/A white letter
tires, and dual outside mirrors! Built in November 1968, this all
numbers matching example is truly one of the finest driving
examples you will ever find on the market! Already fully repainted
professionally with results are far superior to the original
factory finish, along with fresh interior upholstery & carpet and
all new weather stripping. A completely new braking system that
includes booster, master cylinder, rebuild calipers, rotors & pads,
& new hoses; all new side exhaust, and new tires measuring
225/70R15. An all new suspension with KYB shocks that included a
totally new front end with new steering rack, control arm bushings,
upper & lower ball joints, sway bar bushing, end links, and more! A
new gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, and filter ensure clean
delivery of fuel to the rebuilt engine and transmission. New vacuum
actuators and hoses provide easy operation of the headlights and
wipers, along with a fully serviced air conditioning system that
continues to blow cold! A true blue chip Corvette investment
available for the astute collector who is looking for an example
with all the right attributes. A tight rattle free body, rust free
chassis, ability to drop the roof on summer days, shift through the
gears of a manual transmission, and turn on the air conditioning
when things get to hot! Fully sorted, unmodified, and original to
factory standards throughout, it really hits the road just right!
With the recent attention to the car both cosmetically and
mechanically, it makes it the perfect investment worthy vehicle
ready to show and drive immediately! Please feel welcome to call
with additional questions or to schedule an opportunity to review
in person.
