The C3 Chevrolet Corvette, launched in 1968, marked a radical departure from its C2 predecessor, bringing a dramatic, sinuous "Coke bottle" body inspired by the Mako Shark II concept car to the streets. While initially offered with a carryover big-block engine lineup, 1969 introduced the first small-block 350 cubic inch V8, which would go on to become a staple of the Corvette for decades. This generation cemented the Corvette's status as America's sports car, selling in record numbers and becoming an icon of late-60s and 70s automotive design. The '69 model year, in particular, saw refinements over the inaugural 1968, making it a highly sought-after iteration of the early C3. This particular 1969 Corvette stands out as a remarkably preserved example, finished in the striking and seldom-seen Monaco Orange, a color produced in limited numbers for the model year. Power comes from its numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 engine, paired with a driver-engaging 4-speed manual transmission, offering an authentic period driving experience. With just 0 miles indicated, this coupe retains its original paint and interior, a testament to its careful stewardship over the decades. Newer radial tires have been fitted for improved road manners, while power steering and power brakes enhance drivability. Though an aftermarket steering wheel is currently installed, the original is included, along with a selection of spare original parts, providing the next owner with options for maintaining its factory authenticity. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original, numbers-matching C3 Corvette in a distinctive factory color.
