Available For Sale is a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray T-Top Coupe. Finished in LeMans Blue with Bright Blue Interior. It is the correct color for this car. This example is a good, presentable driver-quality C3 chrome bumper car with desirable options. This car was an original RPO L46 350 C.I. 350 HP V8 and a 4-speed manual transmission. Some of the nice options and features include a 3.55 positraction rear axle, power steering, power disc brakes, headrests, factory air conditioning, AM/FM radio, and shoulder belts. The odometer on this car shows 87,506 and is believed to be actual, but cannot be guaranteed.
From the best of our knowledge, the body panels on this Corvette appear to be original, with all of the seams and the original front end on this car, as so many have had a one-piece replacement front end. The fitment of the doors, hood, and headlights is nice and those headlights do function well. The car has been repainted at one time and is a driver-quality one, although it is presentable. There are some flaws in the finish, typical paint aging, minor chips, and crazing, as expected for the age of this fiberglass. The window glass on this car is also original and in great shape for its age. The exterior chrome bumpers have been redone and do look very nice. The emblems, door handles, and exterior trim are all in nice, presentable shape.
The interior of this Corvette has had some new replacement parts. The door panels, carpeting, console, weatherstripping, and the seats have been replaced at one time. The seats are in leather and originally came with standard vinyl upholstery. The dash pad is original to the car and does have a few small cracks. The instruments are original with some of these being restored, such as the clock and center console. The radio is a retro-AM/FM one with a cassette tape player. The gauges are in working shape.
The frame and birdcage on this car are clean with only minor surface rust at #2 mount points. It is good and solid, but it could be taken to the next level if someone wanted to spend some time detailing it. It has had a new rear leaf spring, new brake calipers, new exhaust system, new heater core, new blower motor, new front strut rods, new wiper motor, new water pump, and several other parts, all listed in a binder with many receipts of all that has been done to this car. It does still have the spare tire compartment, spare wheel and tire, and a jack with lug wrench.
The Corvette currently has a high-performance 350/350 4-bolt main with a Holley 650 carburetor. There is an aluminum Edelbrock Performer intake, a Mallory distributor, Mallory coil, Crane Cam, and Lifters.
Included with the sale is the matching numbers L46 350/350 engine block, crank, oil pan, cylinder heads, pistons, rods, intake, carburetor, distributor, finned aluminum valve covers, nuts, bolts, and assorted parts that came with the car. Please note that the matching numbers engine has been disassembled. (Shown in the photos)
Some of the other work that has been done, according to the receipts included, is the transmission rebuild, new clutch, bushings, and seals. The car does have the M-21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and is believed to be the correct one for this Corvette.
