Up for auction is a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette T-Top Coupe in very nice condition. It is equipped with a 427 cubic inch engine with a single 4-barrell carb. The car has an automatic transmission but did come new with a factory 4-speed rock crusher trans. The clutch pedal assembly is still in the car pulled up out of the way should someone want to bring it back to the stick trans. This exchange happened as I understand it about 22 years ago so that the wife could drive it. The car was painted way back then as well and has been well cared for being kept in nice condition. While the car shows well and has been sheltered, it is obviously not top show quality as there are some chips and small scratches and blemishes in the paint as you would expect. For a mighty big block car, it has taken the years very well and gets a lot of attention no matter where you go.
The car has a new interior carpet set and door panels but does still have the original seats. The driver's seat has a split on the seam that can be seen in a picture. All the tires and brakes are new as well as many mechanical parts that can be seen in the pictures on close examination. The car has a lot of power as you would expect, the transmission shift will jerk your head if not carefull, and the car goes straight with no pulling or front end shimmy or vibrations. The T-Tops fit as designed and still has the original storage bags pictured. The radio plays and the power antenna works well.
I have included a picture of the car running to show the gauges. The readings are perfect and to add a surprise, the clock STILL WORKS and keeps proper time. How about that!!!
The rally wheels are nice with very nice centers and beauty rings. That is a surprise as they are usually curbed.
Under the hood is non detailed but shows very nicely. There are new parts shown, aluminum big block valve covers and new air cleaner and vacuum control for wipers. Also, You will see in one of the pictures a new booster for the headlights to make them go up and down and they do. What more can I say. You can fly in and drive it home as I don' see any reason for doubting it. Use it like it is, go to shows, perform in rallys, or put a set of seat covers on it and some touch up to make it show.
If you are not local and want to send someone to check it out, I will assist their efforts where necessary. If shipping is involved, I will provide whatever assistance to help.
I have a lot of up close detailed pictures of the car, chrome, lights, etc I can send to you upon request. Send your email address and I will forward them to you for more detail. There are about twenty.
Good luck bidding and if you have less than 5 feedbacks, contact me to discuss.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
