This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette is a stunning example of American muscle and design, wrapped in an eye-catching Lemans Blue paint that amplifies its sleek, aggressive lines. Fitted with T-tops, this Corvette offers the best of both worlds: the thrill of an open-air experience with the option for a closed coupe when you're in the mood. The body shines with spectacular brightwork that accentuates its iconic curves, and the nearly immaculate black vinyl interior feels as pristine as it looks, inviting drivers and passengers into a cabin of pure vintage style.
Under the hood lies a 427ci V8 engine, an absolute powerhouse believed to have been sourced from the renowned Berger Chevrolet in 1977. This engine, with a block cast number of 361959 and a block year of F-27-77, is a piece of muscle car history in itself, pairing raw power with a sense of heritage. The Turbo 400 automatic transmission complements the V8's plentiful torque, ensuring that each press of the pedal delivers smooth yet commanding acceleration. Recent appraisal values this Corvette at $78,000, underscoring its value as a collector-grade classic with a pedigree. The frame and birdcage are in solid condition, as shown in the detailed photo gallery, and the vehicle comes with receipts documenting the restoration and repaint completed in 2005.
The history of this Corvette is captured not only in its meticulous restoration but in the legacy it represents. The third-generation Corvette, introduced in 1968, was inspired by the Mako Shark II concept and marked a bold new era for Chevrolet's flagship sports car. With its long, flowing lines, prominent fenders, and signature pop-up headlights, the C3 became an instant icon, celebrated for both its design and performance. From the racetrack to American highways, the C3 Corvette embodied a spirit of freedom, performance, and innovation that still resonates with enthusiasts today. This 1969 model, with its powerful 427 V8 and timeless Lemans Blue finish, pays homage to that legacy, offering a chance to own a piece of Corvette history that continues to captivate car lovers around the world.
