The Chevrolet Corvette has always been one of the most widely recognized of all American muscle cars and with good reason. Take one look at this stunning 1969 Chevrolet Corvette for sale by S&S Motorsports of Sarasota, Florida for a cool $295,000 and you’ll understand why Vette’s are often stared at and talked about.
Could you imagine what all friends and family would say if they saw you driving up in this one of a kind 1969 Chevrolet Corvette? Of course, they would all say “Can I go for a ride?”
It’s not just a looker that will turn heads, “the Bomber” is fully loaded with a Custom built 565 cid/ 9.0 Litre Dart® S/S Motor that is capable of 1800 HP Plus!
Michael Anthony, the bass player for Van Halen loves this car but if you’re thinking about buying it, be warned, he might ask you for a ride home after he’s been drinking Jack Daniels.
The “Bomber” is even going to be featured in an upcoming video game. In my opinion, if there every were an absolutely perfect car, this would have to be it.
