Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

Glancing in the rearview mirror and seeing the iconic 1963 split window spine on a C3 chassis gives you a driving perspective unlike any other Corvette on the road. The build keeps everything tame and not over the top with a 350 small block with an aluminum intake and MSD ignition, while the automatic transmission makes it a total breeze to cruise down the coast. Popping the T-tops off, leaning back into the buckets, and letting that classic V8 rumble roll out the back makes this split-window conversion an absolute showstopper at any gathering.

Description

This custom 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a one-of-a-kind Stingray featuring a handcrafted 1963-style split window rear glass conversion. Powered by a small-block 350ci V8 engine paired with a TH400 automatic transmission, this C3 coupe combines iconic C2 body cues with T-top versatility, power four-wheel disc brakes, and power steering. It is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Oregon title.

The exterior bodywork blends C3 coke-bottle fender lines with a custom re-engineered C2 rear deck section that integrates the split back glass layout inspired by the 1963 Corvette coupe. Additional exterior highlights include removable T-top roof panels, pop-up headlights, chrome front and rear bumperettes, and side fender vents.

The car rides on Chevrolet Rally wheels with polished trim rings and center caps, wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A performance tires.

The cabin features vinyl bucket seats divided by a center console housing transmission and climate controls. Interior amenities include floor carpeting, matching door panels, and a factory steering wheel set ahead of factory instrumentation. The odometer shows just 79,389 miles.

The interior also features a center-dash gauge suite displaying secondary engine metrics. A floor-mounted shifter operates the automatic transmission.

The engine bay houses a small-block 350ci V8 retrofitted with an aluminum intake manifold, an MSD electronic ignition system, and a performance air cleaner assembly. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission and factory independent rear suspension.

The chassis retains factory power-assisted steering and stopping power is managed by a power-assisted four-wheel disc brake system.

Is there a reserve?
ZachRestomods Staff Sep 25, 11:01 am PDT
All auctions on BuyTheCar have a reserve unless specified with a large "no reserve" banner.
SnakeByte003 Sep 25, 11:07 am PDT
thanks Zach....i am brand new to this. Is there a way for us to tell if the reserve has been met?? thx!
ZachRestomods Staff Sep 25, 11:14 am PDT
I'm here to help! First off, no, there is technically no way for bidders to see if the reserve has been met. However, if the reserve of an auction is pulled or reduced by the seller we notify all bidders via email, as well as via comment in the auction itself. If the reserve isn't met when it closes, we'll still put the top bidder(s) and seller in contact to see if a sale can be made.
SnakeByte003 Sep 25, 11:15 am PDT
ok - got it. Thanks Zach!

Is there a leak at the driver side rear split window? Looks like interior vinyl lifting.

ConroyClassics Seller Sep 25, 7:42 am PDT
The split windows are sealed very well. No signs of any leaks at all!

Pictures 79 assigned VIN number? Do you know the history how the vehicle ended up with an assigned VIN number plate?

ConroyClassics Seller Sep 24, 3:19 pm PDT
During the restoration, the original VIN was lost, so the state issued an assigned VIN plate.
Cat • Sep 24, 7:59 am PDT

How many miles on engine and does everything work on car. Gauges, pop-up headlights, etc.

ConroyClassics Seller Sep 24, 3:09 pm PDT
We don’t have documentation on the engine, so we can’t confirm its exact mileage. The car runs great, and everything is functioning as it should with the exception of the analog clock and radio. The gauges, speedometer, tachometer, pop-up headlights, and power windows are all working properly.

Correct, no A/C on this one but Vintage Air does make a kit for it!
Newcomjj111 • Sep 23, 5:00 am PDT

Besides the split window and rear and modification, the aluminum intake, what other mods have been done to this vehicle?

ConroyClassics Seller Sep 23, 11:58 am PDT
The front has been converted to look like a 71 Vette and the engine has a MSD Ignition system.

That is a unique one for sure. Aren’t those side vents from a 1970 Vette? The 1969 has the shark gills.
