1969 Chevrolet 427 Corvette L36 390 Horsepower Why This Car Is Special The Chevrolet Corvette C3 was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Stingray script nameplates appeared on front fenders, now one word, in contrast to the Sting Ray name used previously. Car and Driver magazine wrote in October 1968, The small-engine Corvettes are marginally fast and extraordinarily civilized. The large-engine Corvettes are extraordinarily fast and marginally civilized. We have a restored 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 L36 390 Horsepower Convertible here at Skyway Classics that retains the original engine and has that long sleek look and the power to back up the look.

Everything appears correct, including the chrome valve covers, aluminum intake, Quadrajet Carb, and stickers on the chrome air cleaner, power disc brakes, ignition shielding and spark plug wires, and the cast iron exhaust headers leading back to the dual exhaust. It's a clean engine bay and has a lot of factory originality with factory correct hoses and clamps. It rides on Rally wheels with chrome trim rings and caps and BF Goodrich Radial TA performance tires and the car rides and handles well with a traditional Corvette look. Interior The original look continues to the black interior with its black bucket seats, black carpets, door panels, three-spoke polished Corvette steering wheel, 4-speed gearshift, the original gauge package with the large speedo and tach, full auxiliary readout package, heat/defrost controls, and the radio.
