About This Chevrolet Corvette

1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Roadster

This matching numbers 427 4-speed Corvette was purchased by the owners family in 1972 – virtually a one-owner 69 vette. It is not a show car, but rather a partially restored (2013) proud survivor. It has always been a resident of North Carolina and the mileage shown on the odometer (74,500+) is believed to be correct. A professional re-spray of Crystal White is in very good condition, all exterior trim components appear to be as factory delivered and a rare fiberglass hardtop is included in the sale. The black vinyl interior was also refreshed in 2013 and is close to original in appearance. Seats, dash and door cards are in good condition, but there are a few minor issues - the factory radio/voltmeter/clock are currently inop and some of the rubber window seals need attention. The convertible top frame and the soft-top are excellent. Under the L-88 style hood (aftermarket) is the numbers-matching 427 big-block. The block is stamped with the correct VIN number and identification as a 427/390hp LM motor. It was professionally rebuilt and fitted with a mild performance cam, Edelbrock TM2R aluminum intake, 850cfm double-pumper Holley carburetor and custom chrome headers to free-flowing side pipes. The distributor is the factory design with gear-drive for the tach. Our big-block is backed by the factory 4-speed transmission with Hurst Comp+ shifter and posi-traction differential with street gearing. The frame rails and wheel-well boxes appear to be very solid. This C3 Corvette is fitted with manual steering and power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes w/stainless sleeved calipers. Toyo Extensa 225/70R15 A/S radials are mounted on 15x8” GM Rally wheels w/factory centers and trim rings. If you want a solid, capable big-block C3, come take a look at this 4-speed roadster - you will not be disappointed.
