Hello everyone, Im new to this site and also kinda new to the corvette world. I have had a few in the past but just to buy and sell.

I purchased a 69 427 390hp vette a few days ago. Appears to be all original except for a few easy thing that are missing. it has been sitting for a long time in a garage. I bought it from the son as his parents had passed a few years ago and he was interested in it.
I'm fighting my self weather to keep it or sell it and use the money for one of my other cars that is close to being done.

For the car. It is a 427 390hp. car from what I can tell. The man who owned it was the original owner. It looks very very complete and original under the hood, except for headers.
has aftermarket rims on it. Automatic car and has T-Tops.
The body good except by the DS front fender looks like tire came off and wheel well is craked up, (very fixable)
Car is cortez silver with Tan interior.

I will be working on seeing if it runs this weekend.
What would a project like this be worth?

Thanks in advance !

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forums. We'll need to see lots of photos in order to get an idea of condition and options etc.

Seams like he changed a few things on the car as well

Sell? If I found something like that I would get rid of my other car to fix it. Your a lucky man.

My other cars are my first two I ever owned, and one is done and other became my father son project and he would kill me.

Ok besides the tank could there be a tank sticker anywhere else ?

JD502

Cleaned it up, came up pretty nice for just soap and water!

Need to see some interior pics.
Looks GREAT!
I'd keep it - not sell it.

I'd say it's an easy 18k

I'll say, sure looks good, I'm guessing it started up
Nice find, have you decided what you're going to do with it yet ?

…but also check the frame and birdcage for any rust issues.

I would say that if it ran and drove, good brakes, and was a driving car…it would be worth $17K+ … but do some researching and one can find a '69 427/ 4 speed coupe or convertible for low $20s in pretty nice shape. Some better than others. If it had a frame off, and the entire car was restored then it would be worth more (like 30-40K +) and of course the options the car reflects the value.

I pulled the plugs and oiled it up a little, not sure how long is was sitting. Hopefully tomorrow I will get some time to work on it.

as for the interior, it is complete but the seats are worn pretty good.
