An underside walkaround of a 1969 quality trade-in project car.
Code correct Monza Red exterior, code correct Black vinyl interior, Tan convertible top. NOM 350ci engine, 4 speed manual transmission. This car immediately grabbed our attention with its unusual Tan convertible top producing an excellent contrast to the correct Monza Red paint. Alas, do not be deterred by this car's placement in the 'project' section; this car needs very little to be a great looking and driving early C3! A clutch job has just been completed on this 1969 Corvette Convertible, including a BRAND NEW AC Delco clutch assembly and a Hayes flywheel. Furthermore, this car comes equipped with a Vintage Air system, although it is not currently blowing cold. Paint looks overall very nice and appears to be lacquer. This car apparently had a luggage rack at one point, and consequently there are four holes in the rear decklid where the rack once sat. Usually painted a matte black, someone has decided to paint the underside of the hood on this car red, which does not look particularly nice or correct, but nonetheless the color matches the rest of the exterior. Chrome bumpers look newer and show well with no major flaws. Driver's chrome mirror is experiencing some flaking of the finish and should be replaced to match the bumpers. Additionally, the chrome exterior door handles are showing some pitting and scratches. Convertible top is in overall good condition, but shows some minor fogging in the rear window. Trim rings and center caps on the Corvette rally wheels appear to be somewhat newer as well and show nicely. Interior shows very good seat covers and door panels with no major flaws; dash pad shows some cracking on the driver's side. Gauges show well with fairly bright needles and tach redline. There is no radio in this vehicle at this time. The suffix on the stamp pad of this NOM small block 350 shows that the engine most likely came out of a 1979 Caprice. A polished aluminum intake shows off this engine well, and goes nicely with the Moroso chrome air cleaner and chrome Chevrolet valve covers. A newer GM HEI distributor has replaced the origal points-style ignition, allowing for greater reliability with less maintenance. Unfortunately, the ignition shielding is no longer present on this car. A newer Edelbrock carburetor has replaced the original Rochester Quadrajet. Once again, this car needs minimal work to be very nice!! Factory features include rare speed warning indicator (1 of 3,561).
Does this Vette run and drive? Yes! This car runs and drives, although it may require some minor work to the brake system, or suspension and steering components to be a regularly driven car.
Why does this car not come with a warranty? This car has a non-original engine, and shows some wear on nearly every component. Although the car is complete and runs, it is nowhere near NCRS quality. This is a great car for someone wanting a red C3 convertible with a 4 speed that does not care about originality or correctness.
