If there were an automotive recipe for freedom, more likely than not, it would include a V-8 engine, a convertible top, and a classic, sporty look. That's why this custom 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Restomod is so captivating. Add to that, this C3's full black paint, red fender hash marks, roll hoops, and ultra-aggressive L88-style hood to go along with its undeniably alluring Coke-bottle shape, and you have an incredibly collectible car that is unlike any other third-generation 'Vette out there.
Inside, we find a custom red vinyl interior. A full-length center console separates a pair of aftermarket bucket seats. A four-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel features a Crossed Flags center cap and sits ahead of an upgraded set of gauges, highlighted by a large 160 mph speedometer and a matching 8,000 rpm tachometer, both backlit in red. Gone are the C3's auxiliary gauges, and in their place is a big Sony AM/FM/AUX touchscreen that offers Bluetooth connectivity to allow for whatever soundtrack you want to accompany your next road trip.
Under that signature front-hinged hood, we find a massive 496 cubic-inch Vortec V-8 engine. By eliminating the front license plate bracket, this big block is essentially force-fed air into its intake manifold by the oncoming atmosphere. This big block eliminates spent gases through a set of Hooker long-tube headers before exiting out of those glorious side pipes. Power is routed through a tried-and-true Richmond six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the rear end, which transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of 17-inch Vintage Wheel Works wheels.

This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Restomod rides on an aftermarket suspension that features tubular front and rear control arms, VBP front and rear leaf springs, and Bilstein shocks at all four corners. At the same time, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes stand ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. Add it all up, and this stellar custom C3 delivers power and performance in a wind-in-your-hair drop-top configuration, complete with a ridiculously powerful V-8 and overdrive six-speed manual transmission, making it feel as unique as it does exhilarating. One ride and you'll start to realize what true freedom feels like. But don't wait, call today!
