Body on, engine out, nut and bolt restoration from 2005-2015 by former owner and past NCRS Rocky Mountain Chapter judge and judging chairman of the NCRS UK Chapter.

2000 miles since restoration (108,841 original miles prior to restoration, approximately 110,900 miles today)

Records dating back to 1979. California Car from 1979-2005 (have copy of CA title and picture of car wearing CA blue plate), in Georgia prior to 1979, in Florida 2005-2016 and currently in NC with clear NC title.

Original 100% matching numbers engine and components, rust-free frame and birdcage (see picture of the unrestored birdcage still with original green zinc chromate primer). Per email from the prior owner, restorer and NCRS judge: “It is the original heads and block with factory stampings... 100% authentic!!! You should not be disappointed and the frame has ZERO rust, a killer frame.”

All external components on engine/drivetrain are original except for the smog pump and air cleaner, including the original carb, L46 intake, exhaust manifolds, AC compressor, transmission and rear differential (I have original valve covers).

Engine: 19S7305516 VO827HX

Car runs like a top, stops on a dime, goes down the road straight, no abnormal vibrations or noises, engine pulls strong and will run all day in the North Carolina heat, has never failed me.

No POP or build sheet, car manufactured during the several month period when NCRS shipping reports were lost from GM. Car has never been NCRS judged.
Paint is stunning with deep luster, though has imperfections on hood and rear deck lid, not a trailer queen.

Comes complete with original black vinyl hardtop (I have never had it on the car).

$50K invested, thick stack of well over $22K in receipts not including paint (or the car!)
A beautiful, rust-free, mechanically excellent, highly optioned, matching numbers 69 L46 roadster, ready to go!

Asking a very fair $40,000 (obviously taking a loss). Check out any of the online price guides and add in these options plus hardtop!
Car located in Chapel Hill, NC with clean NC title.
I DO NOT HELP SELLING THIS CAR. Serious buyers are welcome to contact me initially via PM. I am not in a rush to sell so please no low ball offers.
