1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427, 435 Horsepower, Stingray, Big Block T-tops, 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
|
69 Corvette Coupe 427-435 L71 Tripower. Nice original car does not appear to have ever been hit hard anywhere. All codes believed to be correct as to color options etc.
Car was 427-390 hsp from factory now 427-435 L71 tri-power 1968 model.
This car is in the registry and was sold at Mecum Auction in Kissimee Fl appox 7 years ago for $35,500. Looks to be a 10-12 year old restoration of good to very good quality.
Car is very fast and very tight drives like a fully restored automobile. No clutch chatter no evidence of abuse by a heavy footed owner. Straight nice body as pictures show,very nice original interior,we believe.
Engine compartment sorted out well and not overly detailed with cheap inappropriate aftermarket parts. All shielding in place and great looking covers cleaners wires etc. Motor tight runs strong lifters etc sound as new. Fires and comes to idle very nicely smooth acceleration braking clutch etc everything works wipers have a mind of their own. Head lights dead on up--down both.
Goosebumps guaranteed with every start up it is truly tight and sounds terrific. I have handled 1500-2000 corvettes and know the difference. So when I say it sounds like 1969 and feels like 1969 I know what I am talking about. I was 16yrs old when I drove my 1st 69 big block coupe.
NOTES; paint is weak in several places see all pictures. Pipes not original. Undercarraige is very nice frame also. Tailpipe holes are in excellent condition. No silly inappropriate stuff about this car just super nice lines and raw horsepower pretty dark green original color with black vinyl interior , am/fm radio. No heated seats no navigation no walnut dashboard no communications center. How sweet it is!!
Though many areas of this car have been lovingly restored its interior is dead original survivor condition. seat covers carpet dash console door panels post panels etc all appear to be original and in very nice condition. small areas of carpet are faded and frayed a bit but patina is as good as it gets.
The areas of weak paint can be redone and blended with the still strong areas to make this car a great driver with a nice appearance. It does not need a full paint job just refer to pictures very straight panels no evidence of accidents bad body work etc solid panels all the way around the car and engine compartment. Only area which appears to have had work is driver door premature cracking is the only real evidence we can find. See pictures.
Your questions invited however we prefer not to end the auction early. The reserve is conservative just under $30,000 and out of respect for all bidders we would like to see the auction through. Good luck and be sure to ck out our reviews since 1948 business done the right way over 35,000 automobiles bought and sold full transparency no secrets. Thanks for your time and attention.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
