1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe L36

It's not easy to continue a string of greatest hits in the automotive world, and one that's 70 years and counting. That's precisely what Chevy has achieved over eight generations of the Corvette, from 1953 to the present day. Every generation has its fan following, and you'll rarely see Corvettes sticking around in the used car listings for long. That's why you should act on this C3 or third-generation 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe that's up for sale with us right now. This car has also undergone some restoration work, gearing it up for many more years of pleasurable motoring.

Exterior and Interior

The current owner tells us that this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe received a new coat of LeMans Blue paint around 2006, which still looks great. Clearly, this 'Vette has been cared for. We are also informed that it's received a new windshield and framing. Take a few moments to appreciate the little details, such as its iconic pop-up headlamps, period rally wheels, and red-line tires. The design of the C3 Vette was penned by Bill Mitchell, and it's a timeless shape. You'll definitely turn heads wherever you go with this car. Another nice gift are the removable T-tops, allowing you to enjoy an open-air motoring experience without messing around with a soft top and enjoying the relative security and rigidity of a proper hard top. As you venture inside, you'll be greeted by a reportedly original blue interior in good shape. We are told that the gauges are new, as is the chrome on the seat belts. We also observe a push-button radio in the center console, with the ventilation controls directly beneath. You'll also find a neat cluster of warning lamps that tell you if an external light bulb is out. This neat little system uses fiber optics rather than electronic sensors, and there's little that can go wrong with it.

Engine

Early C3 Corvettes are coveted because they didn't get cut down by the ruthless axe of the Malaise Era. That's why the 427ci V8 beneath the hood of this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is able to produce an impressive 390hp and 460lb-ft of torque. It all goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports a host of restoration and replacement work under the skin, including new front and rear wiring harnesses, a new fuel tank, new radiator, and a rebuilt engine bay.
