1969 Chevrolet Corvette

1969 Corvette 427ci 4-Speed Manual For Sale (PLEASE READ EVERYTHING)

Below I have done my best to describe the condition of this vehicle using documentation from the previous owners. I am the current owner of this vehicle as I inherited this car after one of my very best friend passed away in Sept. I have since had the vehicle serviced and titled in my name.

My friend purchased this Corvette in June 2015 and placed it in storage where it has sat until now. Documentation from the owner (previous to my friend) shows that the transmission was rebuilt in 1982 and the engine was rebuilt at 48,386 miles, and several other replacements/rebuilds were performed as detailed below:

Engine rebuild included the following: Engine VIN: 19S708588, Block # 3963512, Heads 3931063

Cylinders bored 0.030 over

New pistons, cast iron rings

New rod main and camshaft bearings

New camshaft and lifters

New oil, water, and fuel pumps

Complete value job, new exhaust valves, all guides

Other:

Power steering re-build including new control valve, cylinder, hoses, and pump

Starter rebuild, new solenoid

Alternator re-build, new regulator

Brake system restoration/rebuild:

Master cylinder

Stainless steel sleeved calipers

All new flex lines

Pads

Rotors resurfaced

Suspension:

All new A-arm bushings

Upper and lower ball joints

Front and rear sway bar bushings

Rear strut rod bushings

Shocks

Rear spring end-bolt bushings

Both main drive shaft U-joints

I recently had the vehicle serviced by a local automotive shop with all fluids (oil, antifreeze, transmission, rear) being changed, new (remanufactured) Rochester carburetor, new coil, and battery. Vehicle appears to have all matching numbers (according to the Corvette Black Book) except the carburetor and the distributor (still have the original). The car was repainted by the previous owner using non 69 Corvette OEM paint “Cadillac Firemist Metallic Red”, and is not the best paint job and has numerous chips in the paint but still looks nice for a daily driver. Original paint code is 986 (Cortez Silver Irid).The headlights, wipers, and all gauges appear to work properly but the clock and radio are not functioning.

I uploaded a 1 minute video to Youtube of the car running. Just search 69 Corvette 427 4 speed manual or my channel wpalmisa1.

The last entry in my friends logbook is that both the positive and negative battery cables should be replaced. This Corvette would be a great restoration project for the Corvette enthusiast. Clean/Clear title in my name in hand. Thanks for looking.
