Chevrolet Corvette 427 Turbo Jet 1969

General description : This numbers matching 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is for sale in our Louisville, KY showroom. The C-3 Corvette was released to the public in 1968 and was truly a game changer for Corvette. It was bigger, roomier, and when equipped with the new high performance 427 engine, significantly more powerful! This exquisite example is one the most perfect restorations we have seen! It was restored as a stock show car well beyond factory or NCRS requirements. This car is what GM wished they could have produced in 1969. It is truly a new car. The car recently was subjected to a 3 year ground up, body-off, nut and bolt restoration. Literally every component was replaced with new reproduction parts or reconditioned to new or better than new condition. All the receipts documenting this effort go with the car. You will not find a more comprehensive and stunningly beautiful C-3 anywhere! It was restored to turn heads, impress judges, and win most any car show you will take it to. It is totally reliable, everything works, and a blast to drive with that huge powerful 427 up front.The exterior of the car is the first thing to grab you as the Lemans blue paint almost looks like a Caribbean Sea with its depth and shine. Finished off with a clearcoat that is as slick as I have seen before the finish of this Blue drop top is extraordinary. With all the trim polished to the highest luster achievable you can literally comb your hair in the bumper. The side exhaust looks great and sounds even better with those much wider redline tires being custom made just for this 427 Corvette. Under the hood is the original L-36 427 that was built with just a little more oomph. With a Comp Cam and Lifter upgrade that compliments the freshly built Q-Jet carburetor which was modified by Cliff’s High-Performance Q-Jets, this 427 is running better than any 427 car I’ve driven. The original M20 was rebuilt by world renown Paul Cagliosi using all new Italian high-quality parts. The Posi-Trac rear end with its 3:73 gears give the Vette a perfect mix of down low grunt with a decent top end pull. The original 3:08 gears are available and come with the car. The one addition on the car that is not original is the Borgeson power steering which really helps with cornering performance not to mention tight quarter parking at that next car show. The interior is brand new and looks as such. The blue vinyl buckets look perfect inside the cab with the 4-speed shifter mounted in the middle console exactly as it should be. With a list of parts that looks like an Eckler’s catalog for the C3 Corvette the amount of money spent on this build is mind-blowing. With the C3 market stable and starting to gain in value again this 427 droptop is sure to find a new home. Options on this 1969 427 droptop Corvette include, AM Radio, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Rally Wheels, and Redline Radial Tires.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing.

No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.

When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.

Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.

To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.

With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
