1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible V8
Description
The car is finished in silver with a black soft top over gray upholstery, and power comes from a numbers-matching 427ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The 427ci V8 features a chrome air cleaner and valve covers and was factory rated at 390 horsepower.
A replacement manifold gasket was installed in 2021, at which time the oil was changed and the Quadrajet carburetor was rebuilt.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
New mufflers and exhaust tips were installed in 2021, and the fuel system was flushed.
Delivered from the factory in Cortez Silver (986), the car was repainted in its current silver approximately 25 years ago.
Features include chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, a removable vinyl-covered hardtop, and pop-up headlights.
The 15″ Rally wheels wear chrome hubcaps and beauty rings and are mounted with Firestone Firehawk SS tires.
A 2021 service performed included the installation of replacement stainless steel brake calipers, lines, and pads, while the rotors were turned and the wheel bearings were serviced, a leak in the power steering system was also repaired at that time.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in gray upholstery with a matching dashboard, carpets, and door panels.
Equipment includes hand-crank windows, lap belts, and a replacement retro-look stereo.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer, while auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center stack.
