1969 was the final year of the 427 cubic-inch L71. With tri-power carburetors, an 11.0:1 compression ratio, solid lifters, and a more aggressive camshaft, the engine delivered 435 horsepower.
This particular example was delivered new on December 2, 1968, by County Chevrolet in Media, Pennsylvania. It left the factory with the L71 427 engine, M21 close-ratio four-speed, hardtop, Posi-Traction, and F41 special-purpose suspension.
The Corvette's original owner was Edward Ahoranian, who retained it until 1996, at which time it had covered just 5,570 miles. The car's subsequent owners have continued to preserve its low mileage, adding less than 1,000 miles since its acquisition. In October 2021, the car was shown at Bloomington Gold, where it was Gold Certified, in addition to achieving SURVIVOR and BENCHMARK status, which requires an originality level of more than 95%.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2023
