Low and fast, just how we like them. Finished in brilliant white paint and featuring a manual transmission, what isn't there to love about this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette? In 1969, the Chevrolet Corvette entered the second year of its "C3" generation. The new C3 featured futuristic styling, being completely redesigned to feature flowing front to rear fenders and a much more aerodynamic shape overall. Lots of new innovations were present, such as flush door handles to the top of the doors in addition to cooling vents inside the front fenders. '69 models also added "Stingray" front fender nameplates, new interior door panels + inserts, and was the only year that factory side pipes were optional. 1969 was also the introductory year for the 350 C.I. small-block V8 engine in the Corvette, which is what this example is equipped with! That 350 V8 makes 350hp breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, good for a 1:1 horsepower to cubic inch ratio. Torque from the 350 hooks up to the pavement through the use of a 4-speed manual transmission, not only shifting smoothly but also good for a lot of fun. The exterior white paint has been buffed to a wonderful shine, gleaming in the sun and looking fantastic matched with the white convertible top. The interior is just as nice, presented in an eye-catching blue with vinyl bucket seats and a center armrest for cruise nights. Options fitted to this '69 Corvette include power steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, pop-up headlights, an updated Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo system, newer rear speakers, a tilt steering wheel, dual chrome mirrors, a manual convertible top, and an aggressive-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a set of stock Chevrolet rally wheels on top of Goodyear Eagle GTII RWL tires for a look straight off of a period-correct Corvette advertisement. This C3 sure is one car that looks great and drives even better. Adding a manual transmission to the deal only adds to the fun-factor of this car! If you're looking for some '60s performance, then we've got some right here.
