This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is refinished in red over black vinyl upholstery. Features include a black convertible soft top, 15″ Rally wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, side-exit exhaust pipes, a heater, an aftermarket stereo, chrome bumpers, and hideaway headlights. The seller purchased the car in 2021 and subsequent work is said to have included rebuilding the transmission, refinishing the engine, and replacing the carburetor, water pump, hoses, clutch, shifter, and emergency brake. This C3 convertible is now offered with service records, an owner’s manual, a repair manual, a car cover, spare parts, and a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
The car was delivered from the factory in Fathom Green (983) and was refinished in red under previous ownership. Exterior equipment includes a black convertible soft top, hideaway headlights, and a driver-side mirror as well as aftermarket side-exit exhaust outlets that were fitted under current ownership. A pair of paint blemishes are shown in the gallery below and the windshield wipers do not work.
The 15″ Rally-style wheels wear chrome trim rings and center caps and are mounted with 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs. The seller states that the emergency brake was replaced under current ownership.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include headrests, a heater, a retro-style stereo, and lap belts. A Hurst shifter, a cargo-area sound bar, and a replacement compartment behind the driver’s seat ere fitted under current ownership. The clock does not work.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,300-rpm redline, while auxiliary gauges for fuel level, battery charge, oil pressure, and coolant temperature are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 83k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 350ci V8 was removed from the car and subsequently cleaned and refinished in 2021. The carburetor, water pump, and hoses were replaced.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that is said to have been rebuilt in 2021. The clutch, rear differential flange, yoke, and driveshaft were also replaced. The seller states that the fourth gear can stick unless the clutch is fully depressed. Corrosion is noted on the undercarriage.
An owner’s manual, Haynes Repair Manual, a car cover, a shift boot, interior fasteners, fuses, and service records are included in the sale.
