1969 Chevrolet Corvette

Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is excited to offer this awesome Can Am White big block 1969 Chevrolet Corvette for sale. Although this beast has those "magic numbers" on the hood (427), under the hood are even more cubic inches than they hint at. This heart-stopper is powered by a monster 502 CID V8, which sends the power out back via a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. The engine has about 2500 miles on it since it was rebuilt, and the trans only has about 2000 miles on it since it was installed; so, both the engine and transmission are very fresh. Twist the key, and the big 502 fires to life, shoving the spent hydrocarbons out the coated long tube headers into its side pipe exhaust with a nasty bark. Once it settles into its lopey idle and its pilot takes control of things, the view over the top of that hood becomes so intoxicating that one may not be able stop driving it until it's time to fill the tank. And, on really nice days, take the T-Tops off and enjoy the open air as you cruise around to constant "thumbs-ups" from other drivers. While you're out and about, you'll appreciate the freshly rebuilt front end, improved handling from the new bushings all around, and the stopping power of its 4-wheel disc brakes. This '69 Corvette rides on a set of Cooper Cobra radials (P235/60R15 up front, P255/60R15's out back) on its Rallye Wheels, so it certainly rides better than it did when it was new and sported its G70 bias ply tires. Inside, the red interior is in good shape, with only some normal wear on the leather seating surfaces. C3 cockpit lovers will feel right at home in here! This 1969 Corvette for sale has a lot going for it: big block lovers will really love the punch that the giant 502 provides, and the gear jammers will be thrilled that this big inch monster doesn't have a slushbox behind the mill. Another benefit of the manual transmission is that nowadays, it's also a pretty good theft deterrent to thieves who can't drive a 3-pedal vehicle (haha)! This vintage muscle car is nicely optioned, including Air Conditioning (blows cool, not ice cold), AM/FM radio (not hooked up), Leather Seating, Powered 10" Speakers with Aux connection, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, Raised White Letter Radial Tires, Rally Wheels, Seat Belts, Spare Tire, T-tops, and Tilt Steering Wheel.
