1969 Chevrolet Corvette

1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, 383 Stroker V8, Muncie 4-Speed, Frame-Off Restoration, Lemans Blue, Two Tops This beautiful 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has the looks, performance, history, and equipment that make an early C3 Corvette so much fun to own. Finished in stunning Lemans Blue with a Black bucket-seat interior, this Corvette features a 383 Stroker V8, Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, both hard and soft tops, original Rally Wheels, and a complete frame-off restoration completed in 2023. According to the previous owner, he was the third owner of the Corvette and owned the car for approximately nine years. The history gets even more interesting, as the car was reportedly discovered in a barn in Kentucky before eventually undergoing an extensive restoration. The Corvette was originally equipped with a 350 V8 engine, which has since been modified and built into a 383 cubic-inch Stroker V8. The engine was installed as part of the restoration and, according to the previous owner, has only accumulated the mileage currently showing on the working odometer since being completed. Backing the 383 is the all-important Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. The previous owner reports that the Muncie was rebuilt last year, making this a fantastic drivetrain combination for someone who actually wants to get out and enjoy their classic Corvette. The complete bodywork and frame-off restoration was finished in 2023. Considerable work has been performed throughout the car, including new stainless steel fuel lines and a new stainless steel fuel tank. It also has newer tires, a new battery, new distributor, and recently serviced brakes, including the emergency brake. One particularly nice safety upgrade is the addition of lap and shoulder seatbelts, allowing the car to retain its classic interior appearance while adding an additional level of security for the driver and passenger. The Lemans Blue exterior is an outstanding color for the dramatic early C3 body. Combined with the Black bucket-seat interior and classic Rally Wheels, this Corvette has exactly the look you want from a late-1960s American sports car. It also comes with both tops. The painted removable hardtop gives the Corvette an entirely different appearance when installed, while the convertible soft top is newer. Of course, on the right day, nothing beats putting the top down, grabbing the 4-speed shifter, and enjoying the sound and performance of the 383 Stroker V8.
