1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 CI 390 HP 4 Speed Manual Transmission

1969 Chevrolet Corvette

Vehicle Details

I am Mike, owner of Thunder Valley Classic Cars in MN. Have been in business here since 1984. We specialize in Corvette restoration and repair, we have done 45+ complete frame off restorations on C2 and C3 corvettes over the years as well as lots of repair and maintenance work and have numerous NCRS and Top Flight awards for customer cars and my own cars. I know corvettes better than anyone around and have one here we are looking to sell. It is an all original 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 CI 390 HP 4 speed manual transmission. 79,104 miles. Tilt/Tele steering wheel, AM/FM Radio for options. Car has never been messed with and has had very little work done to it over the years and never been worked on by the wrong people. It even has the original air pump on the engine which you never see. It’s all there. This is a 2 owner car with the 2nd owners buying it from the original owner in the mid 1970’s. All the engine, transmission, differential numbers have been recorded and identified, they are all original to the car besides the passenger side cylinder head, looks to be replaced at sometime in its life, that head is still the same year as the original just has an E month code instead of an H. Engine has a slight leak that is getting coolant into the oil. Engine is pretty rusty inside and the camshaft is going flat. It does run and drive, but the engine is not good enough to drive it for long periods, just for moving the car when needed. When taken for a short drive down the road, the transmission, differential, suspension, and other moving parts seem to actually work pretty well yet. This car would be a perfect candidate for a frame off restoration, or could use an engine rebuild, some misc. drivetrain work, some basic fluid maintenance, and a good cleanup and be driven as is. Car is very solid underneath and has all original body panels on it as well. There was a very minor hit on the left rear bumper at some point in the past resulting in a 6-8” crack in the fiberglass above the drivers side rear valance. You have to lay on your back to even see the crack, and it could be easily fixed with no panel replacement. Other than that it is a no hit body. I have more information, the engine, transmission, differential identification numbers, more pictures available, and access to put the car on a hoist for further inspection yet if wanted for serious inquiries. All original corvettes in this condition are very tough to find these days, especially for a 1969. This is a very solid car that would be a great restoration project for someone to take on. This car will be posted as an auction since the price for these cars can vary so much, but message me here if interested in the car for anymore information and/or arrangements can be made to come inspect the car and negotiate a price to buy it.
