1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

”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 [hidden information]

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 to call today! Don’t let it blow by you.
