69 Corvette convertible 427 390 horse Muncie four speed manual transmission 3:55 posi rear with independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes The car has vacuum assist brakes everything else is manual. I installed a 496 cu.In. engine with over 500 hp The old motor is in a crate and goes with the car. The cars original color is can-am white with black interior. The car runs and drives good and has a lot of power. It's a blast to drive and gets a ton of attention. The car could use a paint job but looks good from 20 feet. The windshield wiper and headlight doors are missing a few parts and have to be opened manually. I was planning on making the doors open and close with electric motor kits. The passenger outside door handle quit working last week. I do not have the door lock key. The interior could use updating. All of the glass is good. The frame and bird cage are solid. This is a really neat old car that can be driven while you work on it. Sold AS IS with no warranty. If you have low feedback or live outside of the continental U.S. please contact me before bidding.

I wasn't sure if it was the original motor to the car that is why I listed it as the old motor and not the original engine to the car. I uncrated it and did some research and it is a CE (warranty) block #3999289 1972 454 with the original heads #3931063 69-70 396/427 If the car had the original engine it would be worth at least two times what the bid is at. If you bid on the car thinking that it was the original let me know and I will cancel your bidThank you
