"The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette changed little from the preceding
year, but "Stingray" now became one word and was badged on the
front fenders. Thanks to a long selling season, the year was an
outstanding sales success for Corvette with the total jumping 30
percent to 38,762 and for the first time coupes outsold
convertibles 22,129 to 16,233." Thx Hagerty.com
For consignment, a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible showing
11,496 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The '69 Vette remains
near the top of the pecking order for collectible cars and here's a
numbers matching example to join your stable!
Exterior
Still wearing a single stage coat in the color it was born with,
paint code 976 is the legendary LeMans Blue and with curves like
this, we have yet to see a bad color on a '69 and this one keeps
the streak alive. Polished metal lines the fender gills and creates
substantial looking vents that are specific to Corvette. Rocker
trim gives the profile a finished look as well and runs between the
15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels tucked under the slightly flared
fenders and iconic Coke bottle shape. The white canvas convertible
top adds contrast and only slight hazing is seen in its window. The
back of the car is unmistakable with a split chrome bumper, quad
tail lights and dual exhaust exiting finished ports on the valance.
Imperfections include some typical fading, checking in the paint as
well as evident fibers, chips throughout, bubbles, tears, patches
and stains on the white top, scratches, mismatched panels,
edgewear, paint runs, fiberglass damage to rear valance, and filler
cratering.
Interior
In wonderful cohesive coordination, it's a blue covered interior,
first making an appearance on the door panels in decent shape
although there's some cracking on the passenger's side. Next up are
the blue vinyl bucket seats with, appearing with some wear and age
along with some staining on the driver's side. Between them, a
Hurst shifter stands tall in the black plastic faceplate which also
holds the handbrake, vent controls, shifting diagram, and oh so
cool spec plate, letting your guest know what you're packing under
the hood. Along with the padded armrest, it's all a bit weathered
but intact. Higher up, five gauges are lined up above in a panel
that monitors everything but your blood pressure, (as the brochure
says!). There's also a Bluetooth capable AM/FM radio that looks
vintage. A nice black rally steering wheel with a trio of spokes
which come together in the center and mount up with the black
center steering column. A black steering wheel presents for the
driver ahead of the dual cylinders that hold the speedometer and
tachometer. Blue twist carpet covers the floor in the footwells and
the cargo area, with a touch of patina.
Drivetrain
Presenting cleanly, here we have the car's numbers matching 350ci
V8 with 300 horsepower and a 4-barrel carburetor.Its long term
relationship with the transmission continues; a numbers matching
Muncie M20 4-speed manual that routes power to a rear axle with
3.08 gears and Positraction. Power steering is on board.
Undercarriage
Driver quality conditions prevail underneath with some typical
surface rust, some residual oil on the pan, and oil present on a
crossmember that may be originating from the tailshaft. Meanwhile,
dual exhaust finds stock style mufflers on its way to a chrome
tipped exit and disc brakes are found on all four wheels. All
independent coil spring suspension is noted up front and on back, a
fully independent suspension with frame anchored differential unit.
Transverse leaf springs are here as well.
Drive-Ability
America's sports car, the Plastic Fantastic, does everything well
on the test loop with predictable results; good power underfoot and
dynamic handling. Despite 20-year old tires, the car tracks
straight and brakes well. We note the heater blower only works on
medium speed and the radio turns on but no sound is produced.
Outside of those issues, all functional items work as intended.
While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were
working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these
functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
With a little love, this numbers matching example could be advanced
to the next level of esthetic prowess. 1969 Corvettes sell fast
here at Classic Auto Mall so if this one "blue you away," be sure
