Equipment
Dual exhaust, Rally wheels, Goodyear narrow whitewalls, rear luggage rack, power windows, radio.
Condition
Full restoration completed in 2012. Engine compartment has been highly detailed. Paint is excellent with only a few very light scratches and the top looks new. All the brightwork has been redone with the exception of the luggage rack. Driver?s seat is visibly worn. A recent restoration that shows off very well.
Market commentary
This Corvette, a 1969 model, was oddly fitted with a 1972-spec 454. That engine made 270 horsepower in 1972, while big block cars in 1969 made at least 390 and even the base 350 made 300. The car is very well presented, but the weird choice of engine made for an appropriate markdown in price. This money could almost buy you an equally pretty base 350/300hp from 1969, which would actually be lighter and more powerful. Sold at this sale last year for $39,600 and at Auctions America's Fort Lauderdale sale earlier this year for $40,700 ($37,000 at the hammer).
