1969 CORVETTE 2-TOP ROADSTER- BIG BLOCK-ORIGINAL L71 427CI 435HP

1969 Chevrolet Corvette Additional Info:

Up for sale is my 1969 Corvette Roadster. It is an original L71 optioned 427ci, 435hp big block car that currently has a 454 ci engine out of a 1975 full size Chevrolet. I have been working on the car for 2 years and the car is ready to enjoy. I have the original build sheet showing the L71 option, and it is an original 2 top, red exterior and black interior car. The build sheet shows its age but you can still see the L71 option. The interior has been reconditioned with new carpets and all looks excellent. The convertible top is newer and fits great, and the hardtop is in great shape. The car appears to have all its original fiberglass but I can see some repairs were made from underneath on the driver side front fender.
I have restored the engine compartment and the undercarriage and it is in near show quality. I did not paint the car but did a lot a work on the paint to make it a good driver quality but does have some touched up chips and scratches. I have put all new correct exhaust on the car. The tires are newer white letter Goodyear. The glass is all original and in good shape with a few small pecks but no cracks. The chrome is good driver quality with a couple of small pings on the front bumper.
There are a few things I know about that can be corrected by the new owner. I have replaced all the vacuum relays and actuators so the headlights and wiper door will work correctly but the headlights want to raise when car is started but will shortly go back down and stay. The fuel gauge does not read correctly but I did replace the fuel tank sending unit. All other gauges work including the clock and original radio. The emergency brake does not hold car in place.
I purchased this car from an estate and the owner purchased the car in 1988. He had been accumulating engine parts to put it back to a 435hp car and I have a lot of the expensive hard to find parts that go along with the car. Included are the following:CORRECT 3X2 CARBS AND INTAKE427 4-BOLT MAIN BLOCK-3963512CORRECT 427 HEADS-3919840CORRECT TRANSISTER DISTRIBUTER WITH SENDING UNIT - 1111928AIR CLEANERCORRECT VALVE COVERS WITH DRIP RAILSNEW OIL PANALL NEW CARB LINKAGE, GAS LINES AND HOSESCRANK SHAFTTHE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE ON THE 454 ENGINE

I want a happy new owner so nothing replaces a personal inspection of the car so you can see first hand. So, be sure to be satisfied on item description before bidding.
I will need a signed bill of sale from buyer so I can get sales tax credit on another purchased vehicle in Missouri. I will need cleared funds before vehicle pickup.
Please do not bid if you don't have the money, feel uncomfortable sending payment by wire transfer before pick up, want to inspect only "after" you are the winning bidder, can't complete the sale in the required time, or do not know how you are going to get the car from my location to your location. Remember, the $500 deposit is non-refundable.
Please let me know if you have any further questions in case I have left anything out in the description. Call Mark at 417-887-4276
