1969 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster

This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster is a beautifully restored C3 that pairs genuine big-block muscle with the kind of thoughtful detailing serious collectors appreciate. Treated to a frame-on restoration roughly five years ago and driven only once or twice since, it presents as a fresh, ready-to-enjoy driver-quality Corvette. Finished in bold Daytona Yellow (paint code 984) over a rich black leather interior, this tribute roadster carries a NOM 427 topped with a period-correct Tri-Power intake and rare ZL-1 aluminum heads — a specification that delivers real presence and serious performance without the six-figure price tag of a documented 435-horsepower example.
