Default Re: 1969 427 Vette Project

I've never seen a non-solid lifter big block (ZR1 excluded)with F-41 suspension. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I've never seen this option on a 390 horse 427. I didn't think that the 4:11 gear was available with the 390 horse motor. Does the car have a tank sticker? If factory optioned the way you state, it has everything a 435 could have. It looks like a 6,500 RPM redline on the tach. Are you sure it wasn't a 435 HP car? Is the engine in the car the original engine?

I can assure you this car has never been messed with. The 427/390 has never been out of the car. Very orig front pad orig broach marks with MH suffix code designating 427/390 4sp K66ign very clear vin and assembly date. It has orignal rear spring and (EA)front spring tag code for HD susp. I dont doubt the options on the car, I do think that it is rare. Hell, try to find a 390hp trans ign distributor. Ive been around vettes a long time and I see weird things all the time. And the tank stick is on the tank in the car.

Neat, nice shot of the tach. The tank sticker may show some type of special order (COPO?) with the F41 and 4:11 gears. It would be interesting to drop the tank and see the sticker.
Silver/silver is beautiful with redlines. I had that in a '68 435 roadster and it was stunning.

When I pull the body off the frame I plan on that. I really like redlines but it orig had white letters. The interior is completely original except carpet and I hate to replace but its just bad enough that I have to

Tim do you have any pics of your sil/siv 68? Is silverstone silver the same paint code as Cortez. I was considering doing the car in Lacquer if I can find it.

I don't have any shots of the car. I believe it sold at BJ a few years ago. Real car with original engine and lots of paperwork.
