The third-generation Corvette, known as the C3, burst onto the scene in 1968 with a radical new "Mako Shark II" inspired design that remains one of the most iconic shapes in automotive history. Longer, wider, and lower than its C2 predecessor, the C3 ushered in a new era for America's sports car, blending aggressive styling with potent big-block power. The 1969 model year, in particular, saw refinements and the introduction of the legendary "Stingray" script on the fenders, solidifying its place as a true muscle car icon. Available with a range of engines, the big-block 427 cubic inch V8 represented the pinnacle of performance, offering thrilling acceleration and a soundtrack to match its visual drama. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible presents a compelling opportunity for the enthusiast looking to complete a project. Originally equipped with a 427/390 HP engine, this example now features a non-matching numbers 427, rebuilt and paired with a rebuilt automatic transmission. Showing 65,000 miles on the odometer, the car wears a Cortez Silver exterior over a black interior, an iconic color combination for the period. While the frame has been addressed and significant mechanical work completed, it awaits a fresh coat of paint to bring its striking lines back to their full glory. This Corvette offers a chance to invest in and personalize a piece of American performance history.
