FS: 1969 Triple Black Convertible with Side Pipes [VA]
SOLD!
It has a numbers matching engine, block and transmission. The rear end is original and date specific and the trim tag is 900/402, which is black paint and black leather. It has been restored including a new starter, new brakes, a rebuilt suspension, new carpeting, new leather seats and a holley avenger carb. The engine also appears to have been rebuilt. The side pipes are not factory and were added during the restoration. The wheels are the original rally wheels and the tires have less than 600 miles on them. It has the original 1969 Corvette AC AM-FM Stereo with the amplifier, which has been restored and is fully functional. The gauges are mostly functional (the gas gauge shows Full until about 1/4 tank and the water temp gauge stopped working about two months ago), however the clock is fully functional. Lights and wipers are working. The fiber optics are not currently working. The undercarriage is strong and rust free. It has power brakes, but not A/C or power steering. The car is kept covered in a humidity controlled garage.
It has one repaint, which was done using the correct Tuxedo Black lacquer paint. It's in excellent condition, but not quite show condition as there is one dime size spider web on the hood and some cracking on the fenders, which is characteristic of lacquer.
I have documentation going back to 2005 and the previous owner who did the restoration. Unfortunately, I do not know the history prior to that. The odometer reads 04807, however actual mileage is unknown. The car is in excellent condition and can be used as an excellent driver or is a prime candidate for an NCRS restoration.

Quick update - i have had a few PM's about the high idle RPM on the youtube video. That video was shot almost immediately after a cold start. After it warms up a bit, it idles around 7-800. Here's another video of the tach that was taken a few minutes after the other video. After a few revs, the idle drops to about 750.

Someone buy this before I give my wife a reason to make me sleep in the SUV.
I don't need 2 black '69s!

Hey Ronnie - it was 73 and sunny yesterday and supposed to be low 40s tomorrow so it's anybody's guess. If you want to stay in the tourist area, your best bet for a traditional hotel is probably the Hilton, but if you need a bit more room there is a Courtyard and Residence Inn which have the mini kitchens. If you want to be away from the touristy section, you should rent a house or condo at the north end or at chick's beach. Bring your checkbook and you can cruise the boardwalk in your new '69 convertible!

Not sure if this car is still for sale, if so would you be interested in a trade for a 2005 with only 15k miles? Black on Steel Gray mint condition?
If not GLWS this is a real beauty...

It's still for sale, and given the Mecum results from last weekend, I believe to be fairly priced. Two 69 Convertible 350/350's sold for $35,000 and $37,500, respectively.
Not really interested in a 2005, but if you have some pictures and a description, I might change my mind. Would definitely be interested in a '58 and would consider anything between 59 and 67 as partial trades.
