sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1968 through 1982
model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried
over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were
new. It set new sales records with 53,807 produced for the 1979
model year. The C3 is the third generation of the Chevrolet
Corvette, while the 1963 through 1967 models mark the second
generation of the Corvette Sting Ray. In 1969, small block engine
displacement increased from 327 cu in (5.4 L) to 350 cu in (5.7 L),
though output remained the same. All other engines and transmission
choices remained unchanged from the previous year, though the L30
base engine was now the ZQ3 and the L79 motor was redesignated the
L46. All cars featured 8-inch-wide (200 mm) steel wheels (increased
from 7 inches). Tire size remained the same, although this was the
first year for optional white lettered tires and the last for red
striped tires. Carried over from the previous year were seven
available rear axle ratios ranging from 2.73 to 4.56. Standard
ratio remained 3.08 with automatic and 3.36 with manual
transmission. The optionalPositraction rear axle, mandated on many
engine/gearbox combinations, was installed on more than 95% of the
cars. "Stingray" script nameplates appeared on front fenders, now
one word, in contrast to the "Sting Ray" name used previously.
Exterior door handles were redesigned so the finger plate would
actuate the door, eliminating the separate release button. Backup
lights were integrated into the inboard taillights, headlight
washers were added, and front grilles were made all black. Side
mounted exhausts and front fender vent trim were options for this
year only. On the inside, revised door panels provided additional
shoulder room in the C3's tighter cabin and headrests became
standard. Steering wheel diameter was reduced from 16 to 15 inches
to permit easier entry and exit, the ignition switch was moved from
the dash to the steering column.
