1969 Corvette Convertible 427/390hp 4 speed

Alternator - Late production '69s were built with either 1969, r 1970 alternators. This car would have been built with a 42 amp unit. I located a correct dated 1970 42 amp alternator #1100900, ut had it rewound for a 61 amp for more charging power. The amperage is not noticeably different for any judging and works great.

Carburetor - When I purchased the car it had a replacement Quadrajet carb #7029207. It took me years to find the right Quadrajet, 7029215 with a good date to match the car. This carb was rebuilt by a Quadrajet expert in Denver, o.

Distributor - # 1111926 (although I am running the original points style distributor, also have an MSD 6AL box hidden on the inner fenderwell (passenger side) for smoother starts and running in general).

Fan Clutch - I have had the original, ated, an clutch rebuilt and it looks great. It is not on the car, ut will come with the car.

Radiator - I had the radiator re-cored years ago and it does a great job. So, t has the original side tanks, ut the top and lower radiator core supports are different than the original. The original date tabs are still mounted to the passenger side tank. The radiator expansion tank is also correctly dated with an original RC-15 cap. Car runs cool.

Horns - original dated, ebuilt

All hoses and belts are correct and dated replacements with the correct tower clamps.

Carpet - new carpet was installed front and back.

Seats - were disassembled down to the frame, ainted, nd then new foam was mounted prior to new seat covers being installed. Seat foam and seat covers were purchased from Al Knoch. New replacement plastic seat backs (on the back side of the back rest) were installed.

Seat Belts - The 1969 model had more than one design seat belt. Being a late production '69 this car was built with the square silver receiver and a narrower tongue than the earlier design. I have installed the correct seat belts on this car.

Gauges - All gauges work except the clock.

Rear Compartment Doors - Replaced with new hinges

Passenger Side Rear Compartment - Original lift out compartment with original flocking. Below this is the original jack.

Driver Side Rear Compartment - Recent replacement (within the last 18 months) of AC Delco Battery, ith a knife blade battery shut off switch.

Door Panels - These were replacement units when I purchased the car and are still in excellent shape.

The Riverside Gold paint is a two stage paint job that was shot around 2002 by a professional painter. When it came out of the paint booth, t only had a very slight bit of orange peel, o I elected to not have it wet sanded and buffed. It is now showing some signs of age, hich could be helped with a little wet sanding and buffing. But it also has developed a couple very fine cracks that are very hard to see. You have to know where they are or you will have a difficult time seeing them. This paint job still does very well in local shows.

When I restored the car I installed a new Al Knoch convertible top with correct dated rear window. The top is still in good condition, ut starting to show some signs of age. No exterior tears in the top, ut two very small tears on the inside pads. This top still shows well for local car shows.

The car was originally built with a painted hardtop, ut unfortunately, as not available when I bought the car. I did find an early '69 hardtop that I installed the correct black vinyl material from Al Knoch, hich looks great on the car. The hardtop is in good condition and comes with the car.

Exterior Chrome is in good condition. The luggage rack was re-chromed about 12 years ago by Librandi's in Harrisburg, A and still looks great.

Vacuum Headlights and Wiper Door operate correctly, p and down.

Rear Taillight lenses were replaced with correct replacements.

Original Front Fender Louver Trim were re-conditioned.

Spare Tire Carrier was replaced with a NOS, on-painted original.

Keys - Are correct replacements with the ignition key (square head) fitting the ignition and door locks. Round key fits center compartment door and the correct spare tire lock, ith new rubber boot.

Wheels are the original dated Rally Wheels. Center caps are original. The trim rings are replacements.

Front suspension was rebuilt with new A arm bushings and Grand Touring coil springs from Vette Brakes. The calipers (front and rear) had been rebuilt prior to my purchase and continue to be very serviceable.

Rear suspension was rebuilt with a replacement 9 leaf spring and bushings, s well as new strut rods with bushings. The trailing arms were also rebuilt. The emergency brake pads were replaced with stainless shoes and work very well.

Tires are BF Goodrich Comp TAs 235/60 x 15
