Expensive '69 L89 Corvette w/ Docs
Neat car with a nice pile of documentation, sold through Allen Green Chevrolet in WA. Great looking car.
Are these really $200k+ now? I realize the L88s are expensive but wasn't aware that the 435hp cars were creeping up too. Link to 1969 L89 Corvette auction https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ElIAA...18/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Y6IAA...sE/s-l1600.jpg |
----I guess you can't blame a guy for trying but this 69 is as you said massively overpriced. And, what exhaust do you get, headers or factory side pipes? I like the car, but would throw a rough guess that it's worth around $100,000 to $125,000, and that would be with stock exhaust and a really comprehensive detail. I'm not sure I like the broach marks either or the lack of smog equipment. But it is a rare car after all!

I don't think the 074 opened chambered aluminum heads were ever used on 1969 L89 corvettes. I believe only later L88 and ZL1s. I believe all 1969 L89 corvettes (even late ones) got the 842 casting closed chambered aluminum heads. That paperwork, in my opinion, is questionable and the stamp pad needs cleaned and closer examination. I would suggest if anyone is serious about the car (pay the fee) and have the shipper/tank sticker numbers sent to the NCRS to validate it. Not going to validate any of the cars options but it will tell you if that is the correct tank/shipper order numbers for the car. In my opinion, the car has way too much going for it, if you know what I mean. The car is way over priced even if everything checked out

Yep!

Not sure a number 2 or 3 L89 is 100-125K..... that would make it a 200K car in show condition

It all depends what #1 car means. Ive never seen a #3 driver condition [based on the sellers description,not my opinion] car get transformed into a show stopper without repaint/interior/ and coming off the frame. . 20 to 30K in Connecticut means a down payment on the work !

The seller seems to be on a fishing expedition. I saw this car at $245,000 prior to the last auction ending, and prior to that the car was for sale at $165,000! I guess he thought it was not high enough? IMO there are very few C3's worth beyond $100,000 other than the L88's ZR2's and and ZL1's.
