1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

With its upgraded ZZ4 crate motor, numbers-matching four-speed, and distinct yet speedy color combo, this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette seems to strike an ideal balance of vintage and upgraded. It makes for an ideal Stingray for those who love to drive.

A name like Monza Red speaks to your enthusiast's heart. It makes you picture open roads and exotic locations, and that's the aim of this car. It has the kind of gloss and shine that will get it parked up front at the best hotels, and you'll be asking for a late check-in because the overall condition won't make you afraid to really drive it. Bright chrome bumpers, flush-fitting headlight doors, good weather-stripping, and doors that close with confidence are all part of this car's fundamental appeal. And while this is a true red-blooded American, the euro-like color of the name fits the overall impression, because the tan folding roof gives this the kind of color combo you often see on an Italian exotic.

Since we like the red and tan color combo so much when the roof is in place, it's terrific to see you still get the same style with the roof down. The saddle tan is the factory-correct color, but you can see there have been investments along the way to keep the full atmosphere quite inviting. You'll even appreciate the details, like the working courtesy light and clock. The radio has even been upgraded to a retro-style digital tuner to fit in with the vintage style while also providing better driving music. And being an appealing driver is what this car likes best. High-back bucket seats, a grippy three-spoke steering wheel, and a full array of gauges (including the large speedo and tach in front of you) all feel quite nice. And the bright shifter in the middle is just calling out for your right hand.

The engine bay has a tidy look, and at the center is a ZZ4 performance crate motor. These are quite potent right out of the box, and this one includes Aluminum heads, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, and headers feeding an updated dual exhaust system. The full package warms up to be a seriously fun enhanced powerhouse, and you take full control of it with the numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission. Plus, the fully independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes make the whole experience engaging.

Complete with owner's manual, this is a red and tan Stingray drop-top with a powerful V8 and stick-shift fun. It checks all your boxes for a great classic, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
