69 Corvette 427-400 HP Tri Power Automatic Trans 308 rear Triple Black . 37000 original miles appears to be accurate due to some paperwork and original equipment on the car (ie) Has the original paint marked coil and has all the date coded ignition wires. The previous owner purchased the vehicle in 1989 and never registered or titled it and kept it stored in a warehouse until 2002 then had the engine and transmission totally rebuilt and painted the car in original black lacquer. I have paperwork from the machine shop and the trans shop. Also replaced all the calipers and master cylinder. The car sat in the warehouse until 2014 and moving the car around it suffered some minor defects in the paint. When I bought the car in 2015 I buffed the paint out to "show" quality. Even with small defects which are hard to see the over all paint is an 8/9 out of 10. Since the rebuild in 2002 the previous owner only put about 100 miles on the car which is not really ideal for these cars. I continued the restoration and had to replace all the calipers and master cylinder due to sitting. As seen in the pictures I also restored the back end of the car, totally rebuilt trailing arms and did not have to totally rebuild the differential which was in excellent shape which proves the car has low mileage on it. I kept the ring and pinion, replaced all the bearings and installed a new locking unit from Duntov Corvette. Installed brand new B.F. Goodrich TA tires. I found out that one previous owner had installed high performance front coil springs which makes the car handle fantastic. One item that I feel needs to be upgraded is the original copper radiator to a modern aluminum one. Although it does not leak and holds good pressure. Car never over heated but in 95 degree plus heat sitting in line going to a car show it would tend to run a little hot. It will also need the shoulder harness retractors. The car is very fast an powerful. Numbers matching power train, all vacuum accessories I am a retired Chevrolet Technician with the proper tool and knowledge to have done the repairs correctly.
