Exterior

The bright blue exterior is in absolutely beautiful driver condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has fine gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. The chrome bumpers and other bight work on the car look nice with good finish and no major rust or pitting. The wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash on the beauty rings. Often many Corvettes will have particularly chipped up front ends, this car does not. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There are some imperfections that were too faint to show up in photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. Specific photos below show some small touch ups and other small imperfections. The tires are in nice shape with about 80% tread left.

The Corvette looks just as good in person as it does in the photos.

Window Date Codes

Driver: NV - "N" denotes January and "V" denotes 1969 meaning the driver's side window was made in January of 1969.

Passenger: XV - "X" denotes February and "V" denotes 1969 meaning the passenger's side window was made in February of 1969.

Rear: XV - "X" denotes February and "V" denotes 1969 meaning the rear window was made in February of 1969.

Please note that the "Astro Ventilation" door glass, and even the pop out rear window, are date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date of July 14, 1969 (L14). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.

Interior

The blue interior of the Corvette looks very nice. The seats look in person just as they do in the photos with no rips or splits seams. They are not worn through in the typical areas such as where the driver gets in and out. The carpet is in good condition with no tears or holes. This included the rear carpet which is often neglected. The dash is in excellent condition with no cracks or sun fading. The original radio is still installed in the car and actually gets decent reception. The door panels look great with no cracks or splits. This car has not been smoked in and there is no aroma whatsoever.

Mechanical

This car is in seems to be in very good mechanical condition. It is an exceptional driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. It starts right away every time, idles well, and runs well. The car shifts well throughout the power bank. Also, the engine compartment is clean and nicely detailed as one can see in the photos. The horn works as do all the exterior lights, all gauges (with the obvious exception of the clock), wipers, and blower for the heater. The vacuum system for the headlights works correctly from both the respective switches on the dash and below the column. As with most 1968-71 Corvettes the fiber optic light monitoring system is not totally functional. The brakes are responsive and powerful; they do pull to the left under hard braking. The only item I am aware of the car that does not work is the rear window defroster, the switch won't turn. This Corvette has plenty of power and is very fast. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the 4-speed transmission and t-tops out on a beautiful day.

A note on the fiber optic light monitoring system. We consistently receive many questions about the purpose of this system; exactly what it is and what it does. The sole and main idea behind the fiber optic light monitoring system is to simply confirm that all of the exterior lights, headlights, indicators, tail lights, etc., are working and to make the driver aware of a a burned out bulb. Each lamp on the outside of the car has an actual fiber optic cable the runs to an indicator on the center console. There are nine small indicators on the console and each has its own finer optic cable. When the bulb goes on the light travels through the fiber optic cable and illuminates the corresponding indicator on the console. If someone does not remember to plug the cable end into the lamp housing, does any work to the center console, or if there is a break in a connection or anywhere along the cable, that indicator no longer works. As one can image, over time this is very common.

The system is very fragile and almost every driver quality Corvette we receive from 1968 through 1971 has at least some of the fiber optics tat are no longer functional. The system was so temperamental and unnecessary that it was only used on Corvettes from 1968-1971 and was deleted by Chevrolet for the Corvette in 1972.

Overall Condition

Overall, this 1969 Corvette is in excellent driver condition. It is a great value and we have priced it to sell. This car turns heads and gets ton of attentions wherever it goes. In my opinion and based on our experience the "Chrome Bumper" cars from 1968-1972 are the most collectible in the entire Corvette market right now. Of those years, the 1969 and 1972 are the most desirable. The value of these cars has gone up exponentially in recent years. They are all solid investments for a collector. Cars like this are the Barrett Jackson stars of the future. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
