Default 1969 convertible

Sold, thanks everyone for the interest.



It’s very original and was restored with plans for NCRS flight judging, but I’ve lost interest in this and moved on to other things. It would be great for someone with this interest to finish up a few things and be ready for judging. I’m asking $30,000. I'm located in central alabama, north of birmingham. you can pm me and I can get you my email and phone #.


This car was disassembled and boxed up In the 1980’s and the restoration delayed so most parts haven’t seen much daylight. it’s a 1969 convertible, 350 300hp 4-speed with all original drive train. Riverside Gold with black vinyl interior and two tops. it has it’s original dash pad, door panels, center console. they only had to be cleaned, they are not painted. the gauges only had to be cleaned and lubricated, not faded at all from the years of being boxed. the seat covers and carpet are new replacement. the soft top is a new replacement. everything works, gauges, radio, speedo, tack, lights,etc. and ready for NCRS “Performance Verification Test”

I’ve got tons of pictures of the restoration and I’ve got excel files with the drive train rebuild specs and individual casting and part numbers, trim plate data, etc. and a list of remaining items that need to be completed if judging is planed. if interested, I can email these.

it runs and drives great.

this is a list of items and parts that are not original and would need to be replaced before judging:

1.) radiator. (I installed a new aluminum radiator while searching for an original replacement, haven't find an original)
2.) battery (it has a good battery, but not correct)
3.) tires, they’re new but not correct
4.) the AIR (smog) pump is included but not restored or installed
5.) the ignition shielding is nice and included but not all installed (I was waiting till last minute to install)
6.) the carburetor is not original, it’s an ecklers restoration carburetor. I don’t have the original
7.) hard top is included and in good shape, but has not been restored. it was originally black vinyl covered

Gorgeous does not even begin to describe this beautiful 69 Vert. From top to bottom and from outside to inside, this is a fantastic looking Corvette. The pricing is bang-on and we will all be jealous of the new buyer. Just love the pictures of her off the frame.

Best of luck.

Hi macp,
I'm asking this because a member asked me to take a look at your car.
Unless I've missed it you don't mention the stamped information on the engines pad and transmission. You say all original drivetrain, but….. you don't show them.
Do you have pictures of those stamps?
Regards,
Alan
