Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this frame-off restored 1969 Chevrolet Corvette coupe. It is powered by a rebuilt Turbo-Jet 427 four-barrel backed by a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission. This garage-kept Vette comes with body-color removable roof panels and removable rear window, plus power steering and brakes, Rally wheels, and more. Finished in Monaco Orange over a black vinyl and cloth interior, this C3 Corvette is offered by the selling dealer with service and rebuild receipts, and transferable New Hampshire registration.
The Monaco Orange (code 990) paint was refinished during the 2015 frame-off restoration under the direction of John’s Corvette Service in Laconia, New Hampshire. Features include rocker moldings, driver-side mirror, rear-mounted antenna, and special domed big-block hood.
Fifteen-inch Rally wheels with polished center caps are wrapped in 215/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised-white-letter tires.
The two-seat cockpit is furnished with high-back buckets upholstered in black vinyl and cloth. Features include aftermarket power steering, rubber floor mats, center console, push-button AM radio, and map pockets.
Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, clock, and factory gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. Additional auxiliary coolant temperature and oil pressure gauges have been installed on the center stack. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 91,181 miles.
The original L68 400-horsepower 427 with triple carburetors has been replaced with a four-barrel 427 that was rebuilt in 2015 by High Octane Classics in Auburn, Massachusetts. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission.
The four-wheel disc braking system is power-assisted.
The below video shows a walk-around of the exterior, interior, and engine bay, plus footage of the Corvette idling. The sale includes $17,000 in service and rebuild receipts.
