1969 Chevrolet 427-435 hp Corvette Convertible. A GORGEOUS AND TASTEFULLY MODIFIED BLACK WITH WHITE RACING STRIPE. My goal was to build the ultimate high performance street machine, being both brutally fast and having superb handling. I started with my newly purchased, very NICE white 1969 427 with 435 horsepower convertible with aluminum heads. I took it to O.T.E. Design and Fabrication for a complete transformation. O.T.E. Design is a premier, one-of-a-kind, award-winning company specializing in high performance engines and restorations. O.T.E. cars have been featured on the cover of Summit Racing magazine and have won numerous prestigious awards. Their website www.otedesign.com shows photos before, during and after the rebuild...Click on "Bobs 69 Vette" to view the photos. The end result was a car that looks fairly stock, brutally fast with almost 700 horsepower and in my opinion, handles better than a Z-06 (I had one). The car is in a heated garage and is in near perfect condition, with lots of chrome on the motor, trim and sidepipes, roll bar, etc. I have well over $100,000 invested in this car. Less than 500 miles since completion.
