Astronauts Used To Love the C3 Corvette, Would You Give This One Some Sugar?

Made in 1969, this Chevrolet Corvette features removable T-tops for some much-deserved tan lines on the go. Removing the panels also allows the V8 to bathe the cockpit with its soundtrack. And if you know a thing or two about the C3, then you're aware that it was offered with multiple V8s, whose outputs varied depending on the model year and specification.

This one features the 350 ci. The 5.7-liter V8 has upgraded forged pistons, resurfaced heads and block, and a few other tweaks. The output is unknown, but even the base version of the car that came with this lump was good for 300 horsepower back in the day. Thus, it's probably safe to assume that this one, which is hooked up to an automatic transmission, is at least as powerful despite more than five decades passing over it.

The odometer indicated 54,326 miles (87,429 km) at the time of cataloging. The 'Vette features a red paint finish, comes with a few shiny chrome accents, and rides on classic wheels that were wrapped in what seem to be the period-correct tires made by BFGoodrich. The Stingray emblem decorates the front fenders, and the Corvette lettering can be seen between the taillights.

The car is all red on the inside, too, and this hue can be seen on pretty much everything, including the center console, dashboard, door cards, headliner, sun visors, pillars, and seats. The classic three-spoke steering wheel also has a touch of red on it, and there are several storage areas to keep their personal belongings secure every time the driver decides to abuse the right pedal.

Should you want to feel the wind in your hair and listen to the roar of the V8 in this C3 Chevrolet Corvette, then you will have to access the Garage Kept Motors listing here. The car is in stock, and the vendor welcomes pre-purchase inspections, albeit by appointment. The model is a symbol of American automotive history, and you're looking at $29,900 to sign your name on the dotted line.

That's significantly less than the modern-day C8 Stingray, which has an MSRP of $68,300. Heck, it costs less than a new base Camaro, too, whose production recently ended, as the muscle car is listed on the official website from $30,900, excluding destination. We think it's worth the asking price, but would you go ahead and buy it if you were shopping for such a ride?
