1969 Chevrolet Corvette

1969 Chevrolet Corvette (Original 427 L71)

Why Is This Car Special

The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. 'Stingray' script nameplates appeared on front fenders, now one word, in contrast to the Sting Ray name used previously.

Car and Driver magazine wrote, The small-engine Corvettes are marginally fast and extraordinarily civilized. The large-engine Corvettes are extraordinarily fast and marginally civilized.

So is the 1969 Chevrolet Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics. It has that long sleek look and the power to back up the look.

Mechanical Specs

The 402 cubic inch V8 (non original engine) in is this car makes a substantial 390 horsepower and shifts through a 3-speed auto transmission. With endless reserves of torque and an attitude that practically invites you to plant your foot on the floor, it's a blast to drive.

Everything appears well done including the black valve covers, intake, Quadrajet Carb, aftermarket air conditioning, power steering and brakes, and stickers on the chrome air cleaner.

It rides on Rally wheels with wide white letter wheels and the car rides and handles well with a traditional Corvette look.

Interior

The mostly original interior continues to look quite nice. It does have blue carpets and door panels, three-spoke wheel, console, automatic, the original gauge package with the large speedo and tach, full auxiliary readout package, heat/defrost controls, and just all just below the radio.

Exterior

Our 1969 Corvette look great in its one repaint of 976 paint with 411 trim it came with but it comes as no surprise that it remains in great condition. The C3s are considered by some as the best looking of the bunch with their chrome bumpers and hidden windshield wipers, and this one is no exceptions.

Conclusion

The 1969 Corvette we have here at Skyway Classics is a great driver and fun to ride and drive and enjoy, plus it is a big block Corvette, who could ask for more.
