What’s special about this listing
This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/L36 Convertible represents one of the most desirable configurations of the third-generation C3 Corvette. According to the seller, this exceptional example combines a legendary big-block engine with a rare combination of factory options that made 1969 a landmark year for Corvette enthusiasts.
The vehicle has been categorized as Original & Highly Original by Classic.com curators, and according to the seller, it has received a meticulous body-off-frame restoration with correct numbers and codes throughout. The legendary 427 cubic inch big block features the highly sought-after 512 casting and is paired with an M20 Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and 3.08 HD positraction rear end. One of this Corvette's most significant highlights is its factory side exhaust — 1969 was the only year the C3 Corvette offered this iconic feature from the factory, making it a truly one-year-only option that collectors actively seek.
The exterior has been repainted in its original Can-Am White with straight, clean fiberglass and a high-gloss finish, complemented by a black convertible top in excellent condition. The interior features glove soft leather upholstery with fresh carpet throughout, while the engine compartment displays authentic factory-correct details including proper aluminum intake manifold, chrome valve covers, and a properly detailed cooling system. Additional factory options include power steering, power brakes, power windows, factory air conditioning, AM/FM radio, tilt-telescopic steering column, and luggage rack.
