V8 Muncie Manual Classic Vintage Collector Vette Original Restored Documented

This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible is full of investments and surprises. You get the numbers-matching big block, four-on-the-floor, and a well-coordinated custom color combo...and as you dig deeper, you're even going to have a cool story about the Woodstock beads on the radio.

You can't help but stop and look at this car. It was born Daytona Yellow, but it was repainted a bolder shade that was only offered on the 1973 Corvette. It was part of nearly $15k invested during this car's 2015 restoration (and we have the receipts to prove it.) So this one really has the crisp and clean look of great care. Plus, you'll love upgrades, like the iconic Cragar SS wheels that complement the shine of the bumpers. And the custom black striping looks terrific against the yellow while also drawing added attention to this big block's vented hood.

The black folding roof is part of the newer investment in this classic, and it goes with the stripe for a very thoughtful and attractive appearance. So if you like the way that looks, then you'll love taking it down to reveal the all-black interior. This has crisp and clean look thanks to new seats, dash, door panels, and center console. Even the steering wheel is a correct-style replacement. It's a great driver-oriented setup with all the essential gauges working, including the clock. While this one has plenty of the right investments and upgrades, one place that remains refreshingly stock is the AM/FM radio. We're told the beads in-between the dials were given to the original owner at Woodstock, and he asked to have them kept with the car. It really adds a personal history to this already attractive Stingray.

While the interior has a reminder of peace & love, the engine bay reminds you of horsepower. This is the numbers-matching L36 427 cubic-inch V8. It was rebuilt as part of the car's 2015 restoration, and you can see it has been treated with care in the few years since. So you have an extremely tidy setup that lets you really see the bold block, shining valve covers, and bright air topper with mighty V8 callout. Not only do you have big block power, but it also has a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, GM Winters aluminum intake, and shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust. The powerful heart fires up eagerly with a throaty rumble, and you are in full control of the power and soundtrack thanks to the numbers-matching Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, modern Hankook tires, and the fully independent suspension come together to make this powerful classic a great one to drive.

The sale comes complete with the original bill of sale, warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. There are even some nice original/spare parts available, including the factory wheels (call for the full details.) This is a powerful and distinct Stingray drop-top with a story to tell. It makes for an awesome all-around classic that you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
