Just completed full restoration on this beautiful Blue on Blue 1969 Corvette. Numbers matching 427 4 speed t-top. Test drive on freeway. Ride with me! Thumbs up and High 5s. #'s Matching Engine, 4-Speed with Factory Air Conditioning. This car is also factory equipped with Power Steering, Power Brakes, Tilt-Telescoping Steering Column, Head Rest Seats, Updated factory AM-FM Radio with blue tooth, Air Conditioning, Posi-Traction Rear Axle, Front Fender Louver Trim, & Soft Ray Tinted Glass. The body is in excellent condition, consistent door fits and gaps. The body is original. The paint is show quality. The interior is extremely clean and restored with new carpet and leather seat covers. All the gauges are original and work. The engine compartment is factory stock with the original air cleaner, original valve covers, and original shielding. This car is mechanically sound, new brakes, new exhaust, and tires are new. This is a beautiful 1969 Big Block Corvette loaded with factory options, and a hard Corvette to duplicate.

Had a 68 427 4sp. Yellow in color, black removable hardtop. Way back in the day.

We mistakenly think that the exciting thing about a vehicle is speed, when the feeling of power, sound, vibration, make these cars something unique

I have the same car, same colour Lemans blue, side pipe 390 hp 427 BB. It puts a smile on every time I take it for a spin.

Sorry but I've had my L-71 427/435 since 1970. Bought it with a little over 3,000 miles. Replaced the valve springs with TRW within the first three days. The car has been a gem to own and drive. I feel very lucky to have had all this fun for so long and it still continues. Modifying the car to make it better in my own opinion was a great move. Borgeson power steering was a really big improvement. Recently switched to GM HEI ignition and distributor and got rid of the MagPulse Transistorized ignition which also made a huge difference in performance. The engine in my car has never been out and considering the speedo shows over 175,000 miles now and it still runs like a champ, I can't complain. The car in this video doesn't seem like a very good performer. My Holley 2300 setup absolutely roars when I step on the gas and going from 70 to 90 takes a split second. The instant response can't be beat. If this guy enjoyed the car in the video, he'd go absolutely bonkers in my car. I've made modifications along the way including seats, 13" flat, racing steering wheel, wheels, tires, radio etc. that have simply made the car more fun to drive but have reduced the "originality" value somewhat! The car is currently in the shop for a safety check and tune-up and a conversion to the 1968 four red tail lights. I went to an LED License Plate Frame which gives off a much brighter back-up light and the four matching red tail lights, to me, looks better than the factory tail light setup. The radio is currently a combo unit that does just about everything including a 7" screen for GPS that pops out and up. It has bluetooth, am, fm, dvd, gps, mp4 and a few other features which all work great. In my opinion, the 1969 Corvette big block tri-power is still the best car ever for sheer fun. It doesn't handle like modern cars of course but when we talk about FUN, it's at the top of the list. When you remove the T-tops and pull out the rear window on a nice hot day, there just isn't anything better.

Nice Vette . The 60's and 70's was a funky time for interiors though. I'm not crazy about the blue on blue in blue. I would have preferred a blue on blue in black.
