On "My Car Story" we're in the Milwaukee WI on 10-27-19.
We're looking at a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette in Burgundy Paint. The car features the factory L89 427 CI V8 engine with 435 Horse Power, and a 4 speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Jeff Stranak. Jeff’s had this car since 2016. Turns out Jeff nephew Derrick is a Fan of My Car Story with Lou and sent me an e-mail sharing, his Uncle has a cool car he thought I’d like to feature. Well he was right. Jeff shares he went to an auction looking to buy a Camaro, and that car ended up selling, so he switched gears and became interested in this “Big Block” Corvette, and turns out he was the High Bidder.
ENJOY!

I like the older ones and this is one of them. Mine was a 78 L82 but had to get rid of it because my illustrious neighbors would not leave it alone. Cars & boats do strange things to people who do not have them. This is a nice Vette. Treat it right & drive it right & it will go a long long way. Thanks for posting another great.

For those who didn’t know, the L89 added aluminum heads to the L71 tripower solid lifter 427...very expensive when new, rare today, and added some weight reduction to the front end. Very desirable. Interestingly, I believe the exact same head # was part of the aluminum head option on 396 Camaros and Chevelles. Lou - I have a C3 with the luggage rack and I like it! Have actually strapped duffle bags to it on long trips cause there ain’t much room behind the seats. And these days with cars lacking any chrome, any excuse to add chrome is ok by me

Great report Lou and a great owner. I was 19 years old when this car was new and memories came back as I watched. Those pollution pumps were thrown away as soon as the new owner could get to his or her wrenches, thrown in the trash can. Looking at the tri power set up brought to mind Sunoco 260 gasoline, I think it was 110 octane in my area, Sunoco had 6 or 7 grades of gas at the pump back then. And I also like the full wheel covers. All you see on the restored cars today are rallye wheels but back then full wheel covers were an option that was seen from time to time. Thanks Lou and keep 'em coming!

the restrained burgundy, and factory wheel covers (located, and restored,) give this vehicle the kind of british restraint that a pistol-grip hemi challenger can never have. he's had this almost four years. must have cost a bundle to acquire. well worth it at any price. the Z-28, without the engine tilt, might well have been a better driver, hence: he was bid out of contention. but this is neato!!

Wish they would have carried over the N11 Off Road Exhaust from 68 but after noise complaints, not only did Chevrolet drop the N11 they mandated a 2-inch exhaust on all 69 cars including big blocks. Seems overkill and definitely killed power and your average 68 Vette will smoke the 69 engine for engine.

Favorite color! That maroon is amazing! Side pipes look amazing. iirc when you ordered the side pipes, they didn’t have mufflers, it was a straight through design, might be wrong though. Call me crazy, but I’d have to take a 350-350 over the 427 Tri Power, handles better, and I think the small block cars just had better road manners overall. Very cool Vette tho, I’ve got an 81 that I love, and one day I want to get my hands on a chrome bumper car!

I am a Ford dude now!! But growing up my first love of my life was my uncle's 69 sting ray 327 4 speed car, same color as this one sidepipes too!!it had a removable hard top and a rag top was folded up in back! Yes I would smack my mother for this baby!! Video sound of the engine must be different from life sounds?? Or baby had leaky header, or donut gasket, or lifters needed rockers adj

Scotty Jones You ever hear a /6 Mopar? They were solid lifter up to 1980 and 1981... They sounded like a Singer Zig-Zag sowing machine at idle!

As wonderful as this car is, my favorite body styles are still the C2 and the C5 even though they are vastly different. After C5 they started to look like "generic supercar" if there is such a thing.

No sorry, that is incorrect. Every single 1969 Corvette whether small block or big block even L88 and ZL1 left St Louis with a smog pump. The Chevy engineers felt the smog pump with its minimal power draw was a better way to meet the emissions standard as opposed to changing the tune and reducing timing as this would have had a greater impact on performance.

I’s a car , it supposed to be driven. Maybe that’s why it sounds like a freaking Kenworth instead of a Vette. Take it out and open it up and blow the crap out of it. If you can afford to buy it , you should be able yo maintain it and not sit in a garage and look at it all day. Drive it , things go wrong fix it. Either the sound quality is way off or that motor needs to be gone thru❗️🇺🇸
