Viva Las Vegas Autos Known History...
1969 was the second year of the C3 body style on the Chevrolet Corvette, and has become one of the most iconic vintage muscle cars in American history. The interior was made more comfortable, and a few design tweaks were made to the body from the previous model, giving it a slightly edgier and aerodynamic look.
This car had a previous full Frame Off restoration. Everything on the car had been replaced with a combination of OE style parts and aftermarket parts. All of the suspension was redone, as well as the disc brake system. A Rack and Pinion power-steering conversion was added and functions perfectly.Sadly, the original 427 L88 engine may have become a boat anchor but was replaced with a built and modified 350ci Small Block Chevrolet motor (Casting Number 3970010, 1969) that is dressed exceptionally in aftermarket installations. These include An Edelbrock 4-barrel Carburetor perched atop a Weiand Intake Manifold, New valve covers, a B/B Serpentine Belt system from Tuffstuff,and a Mallory Distributor. It has a Wizard Cooling Aluminum radiator cooled by dual low-profile electric fans. It also contains a few extra items for driving comfort-ability and prolonged engine life, such as the Moroso Oil Breather Tank and the Harrison Expansion Surge tank.
The restoration also came with a Race Red paint job, showing only minor blemishes, and a full interior restoration. There is even a fully functional aftermarket stereo system. All of the gauges work and are accurate. The interior looks and feels almost new, and was redone in a bright red leather and vinyl combination, making the car pop. The firewall was shaved, and this eliminated the wiper blade system, so this is not a car you should plan to drive on a rainy day.
Viva Las Vegas Autos Preparations...
Whenever we buy a classic vehicle like this, our first steps of getting it ready for market are through a thorough visual, mechanical and functional inspection. We get in every car, turn every knob, and push every button to ensure that it works. The convertible hard top wasn't in the greatest shape, so we fully restored the hard top with new paint, refurbished the headliner, and replaced all of the weatherstripping and seals. We also bought new tires and put them on brand new 19" Aluminum Rally OE style wheels.
B/B Serpentine Belt System | Wizard Cooling Alluminum Radiator | Dual Low-profile electric cooling fans |
Muncie 4-Speed Manual Transmission | Rack and Pinion Power Steering | Edelbrock 4 Barrel Carburetor and Valve Covers |
Weiand Intake Manifold | Headman Headers | Full New Exhaust w/FloPro Max |
Mallory Distributor and wires | Harrison Expansion Surge Tank | Moroso Oil Breather Tank |
New Brakes, calipers, and pads | Limited Slip Rear Differential | Grant Wood Steering Wheel |
When this car arrived at our shop, the first thing we did was put in on a lift and do a quick power-wash of the undercarriage. This frees the car of any dirt and grime underneath, as well as reveals and mechanical issues that need to be attended to. Due to all of the upgrades on this car and the excellent care that the previous owner took, this car was back on the ground in minutes. The exhaust was straight pipes only, so we had a full exhaust system professionally installed. You will also see that we installed a brand new spare carrier since none came with the Corvette.
Conditional Assessment
With just one look at this car, someone will easily tell that it has been taken care of and had an exceptional restoration done to it. The car runs and drives incredibly well, and the engine relentlessly pulls through every gear. The interior has been kept in immaculate condition since the restoration was completed, and is new-driver ready. take your time to sift through ALL of our photos of this incredible 1969 Chevrolet Corvette to make your own assessment of how truly remarkable this car is.

Viva Las Vegas Autos Note from the Owner...
I am a "used car dealer" but before that, I'm an automobile enthusiast. I love original, rare and high quality modified vintage and modern cars. Over the past 15 years I've been in business, I have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles as well. I specialize in and I am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.
I have an experienced eye for quality and I've discovered that my preferred buyers can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the buyer, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.
With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a "dealership" like mine may be at a first glance. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner. First we do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and hope nothing escapes our methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly "right" will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about Viva Las Vegas Autos. Moreover, it allows us to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless we think it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction so you don't get a headache over the vehicle.
After the vehicle is fully checked over and made whole at any level it needs to be, we researches its history, documents, documenting originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications, and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 200 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I've developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they meticulously clean. Reconditioning can sometimes take several days as we do all that we can within reason to get our vehicles in tip top condition visually and cosmetically. We do Way more than just a cheap detail. Our details are more like refurbishing to as close to new as we can possibly get our vehicles.
Usually, I'll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it's a fast car, we film it going fast. If it's a 4x4 you'll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch gauges operation as well.
No "dealer, "? on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase that my vehicle is for real and what I say is an honest assessment. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.
If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer is serious, you'll find me the most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or "what is my bottom line" I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually make an offer, I will happily quote you a liberal suggested retail price - a number we both know will not buy the car so, don't waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a "used car dealer.â€â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹
