Vehicle Detail
1969 CHEVY CORVETTE 427 ROADSTER STINGRAY CONVERTIBLE LAST OF CLASSIC 60's VETTES. VERY NICE & CLEAN CAR! MECHANICALLY IN GREAT SHAPE. THE NUMBERS MATCHING 427ci BIG BLOCK V8 RUNS GREAT! THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GREAT TOO. SMOOTH & SOLID! THIS IS A VERY NICE RUNNING & DRIVING CAR! FRONT END, GRILLS, FRONT BUMPER, ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN! ALL GLASS IS GOOD AS WELL. THE BODY & PAINT JOB HAS A FEW LITTLE CHIPS & BLEMS HERE & THERE. THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN DRIVEN, BUT OVERALL IT LOOKS VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN. GETS COMPLIMENTS WHEREVER IT GOES! MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT HAS NO RUST PROBLEMS AT ALL ON THE FRAME & BIRDCAGE! LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS, WE HAVE LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & IT IS SOLID THROUGHOUT. OTHERWISE, HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: 194679S735019 PLEASE NOTE: WE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THIS CAR ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO AS A THEFT RECOVERY FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. IT HAD BEEN STOLEN IN SOUTHERN OREGON & WAS FOUND IN NORTHERN WHERE IT HAD BEEN BACKED INTO A POLE & LEFT. THE DAMAGE WAS ONLY COSMETIC TO THE REAR BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE TAILLIGHTS. THE FRAME WAS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL & THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED PROFESSIONALLY. BUT BECAUSE OF THIS, THE OREGON TITLE DOES SHOW IT AS HAVING PREVIOUS DAMAGE. OF COURSE WHAT 40+ YEAR OLD CAR HASN'T HAD A FEW SCRAPES ALONG THE WAY? ODOMETER READING: 81597 WE BELIEVE THAT THE MILES ARE ACTUAL. BUT DO NOT GET SECURE ODOMETER STATEMENTS ON CARS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, SO LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS:MILES EXEMPT. IT RUNS & DRIVES LIKE A LOW MILEAGE CAR, SO IT MAY VERY WELL BE THE CASE. BUT NO IDEA FOR SURE. NOT SURE IF AUTOCHECK CAN TELL BY A VIN NUMBER ON A CAR OF THIS AGE, BUT MAYBE??? I WASN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AT THE TIME. JUST LOVED THE CAR! SO TO BE BLUNT & CLEAR: THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY A 100 POINT SHOW CAR. WHAT THIS IS, IS A VERY VERY NICE DAILY DRIVER. IF YOU LOOKING FOR A TRAILER QUEEN THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON A ROTISERRIE & METICULOUSLY DISMANTLED & THEN REASSEMBLED BY MEN IN LITTLE WHITE SUITS IN A HERMETICALLY SEALED ANTI-CHAMBER... WELL... THIS CAR MAY NOT BE FOR YOU & SERIOUSLY, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT OF OWNING A CORVETTE, LET ALONE ENJOYING ONE. BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ORIGINAL 427 VETTE CONVERTIBLE THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL SURVIVOR & A BLAST TO DRIVE...WELL! ...THEN READ ON! NICE SET OF FACTORY 8" VETTE RALLY WHEELS WITH A VERY NICE SET OF MATCHING WHITE LETTER RADIAL TIRES. ALL 4 HAVE ABOUT 90%+ TREAD LIFE LEFT! LOOKS GOOD FROM EVERY ANGLE. BEAUTIFUL BODY LINES. DAYTONA YELLOW. IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE EITHER TOP ON IT, BUT COMES WITH BOTH.. THE SOFTTOP & FRAME. THE FRAME IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE TOP WOULD BE REPAIRABLE, BUT CONSIDERING YOU CAN BUY THE NEW TOP MATERIAL FOR ONLY ABOUT $250, YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET THE MATERIAL REPLACED. IT ALSO HAS THE FACTORY HARDTOP. IT HAS A FEW BLEMS & CHIPS HERE & THERE... BUT OVERALL IS IN GREAT SHAPE & THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER SHOWN BELOW IT COMES WITH IT AS WELL. THE REAR AREA BY THE LEFT SIDE TAILLIGHTS WAS THE AREA THAT WAS DAMAGED & AS YOU CAN SEE WAS NICELY REPAIRED. THEY DID A GREAT JOB. REAR BUMPERS WERE REPLACED & WERE RECHROMED. REAR SHOWN WITH TOP OFF... FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES... I NEED TO STOP LOOKING AT THIS CAR,.... OR I'M GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME SELLING IT! =) INTERIOR: DASH & GAUGES ARE IN VERY NICE SHAPE. CLEAN & ORIGINAL. 160 MPH SPEEDO. 5250 TACH. FACTORY CLOCK & FULL GAUGES. FACTORY AM / FM RADIO TILT & TELE STEERING ETC. CENTER CONSOLE INTERIOR IN OVERALL AMAZING SHAPE! SEATS LOOK GREAT! THEY HAVE NO TEARS & CUSHIONS ARE IN VERY NICE SHAPE. CARPETING LOOKS GOOD THROUGHOUT TOO! REAR PACKAGE TRAY LOOKS GOOD AS WELL! THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL LOOKS SUPER CLEAN! THE PASSENGER SIDE LOOKS GREAT AS WELL. VIEW OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT. VIEW FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF SEATS. THE 427ci V8 LOOKS NICE & CLEAN & RUNS LIKE IT WAS NEW IF NOT BETTER WITH A NICE SET OF STAINLESS HEADERS, ETC. AND YES, THE NUMBERS ON THE BLOCK DO MATCH THE VIN. PLENTY OF POWER! MECHANICAL: SIZE: 427ci BIG BLOCK V8 REALLY RUNS NICE! TRANSMISSION: TYPE: AUTOMATIC. SHIFTS LIKE NEW! BRAKES TYPE: POWER CONDITION: WORK GREAT! SMOOTH & SOLID STEERING: POWER CONDITION: WORKS GREAT. NICE & TIGHT! FEELS LIKE NEW! WHEELS: FACTORY 8" VETTE RALLYS. NICE CONDITION! TIRES WHITE LETTER STEEL RADIALS. CONDITION: GOOD. APPROX. 90%+ TREAD ON ALL 4. EXHAUST: GOOD CONDITION. SMOOTH & QUIET.
