The newly designed third Generation Corvettes had a reputation to uphold and by 1969, the car exceeded expectations. This new body style was very well received, so much so that only a few changes were made through 1982. The L89 top end engine package had unparalleled performance, blasting from 0- to 60-mph in just 4.2 seconds and 0- to 100-mph in a mere 8 seconds. This Riverside Gold roadster is equipped with the L36 427 cubic inch engine rated at a whopping 390 horsepower. It has received a full body-off restoration with under 2,000 miles driven since completed. It is a documented GM of Canada Corvette and records indicate the big-block, Code CE, was once replaced under GM warranty. Needless to say, the condition of the car is near perfection. It is fitted with a saddle tan interior, black vinyl top, Muncie four-speed manual transmission with 2.20 first gear, 3.36 close ratio axle, power steering, power brakes, power windows, tilt steering column, AM/FM radio and speed warning indicator. This is truly a beautiful example, finished in a striking color combination that must be seen and appreciated.
