1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/ L36
VIN 194379S731354
What’s special about this listing
This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is finished in LeMans Blue over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a numbers-matching 427ci L36 V8 paired with a four-speed Muncie manual transmission. Equipment includes factory chrome side exhaust pipes, removable T-top panels, Rally wheels, power disc brakes, a tilt-telescopic steering column, and a factory AM/FM radio.
Exterior
The body is finished in its factory-correct LeMans Blue (code 976) and features chrome bumpers, pop-up headlights, "427" badging, and removable T-top roof panels. The paint is glossy and shows well, with consistent finish and panel alignment. The factory chrome side pipes provide both an aggressive appearance and a signature exhaust note. Additional exterior details include a cowl-induction hood, and eggcrate front fender vents.
Interior
The cabin is trimmed in black vinyl (code ZQ4) with matching door panels, carpeting, and a black dash. Amenities include a three-spoke steering wheel, fiber-optic lamp monitoring, lap belts, and a factory AM/FM push-button radio. The instrument cluster includes a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The tilt-telescopic steering column is functional, and the gauges operate correctly.
Powertrain
The 427ci L36 V8 was factory-rated at 390 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This example retains its matching-numbers engine block, intake manifold, and cylinder heads, with correct date stampings and suffix code. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual gearbox and a 3.36:1 rear axle. The car is equipped with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, and the side-exit exhaust system offers a period-correct soundtrack.
Wheels & Suspension
Factory-style 15″ Rally wheels are mounted with period-correct Firestone Wide Oval redline tires. The fully independent suspension includes upper and lower A-arms up front and a transverse leaf spring setup in the rear. The car rides well and brakes confidently, consistent with a well-maintained driver-level example.
Walkaround Video Available.
A factory big-block car finished in its original LeMans Blue and retaining its numbers-matching 427ci engine, this C3 represents a high-point in Corvette performance heritage. Well-optioned, cleanly presented, and ready to drive or display.
