Driver: YV - "Y" denotes October and "V" denotes 1969 meaning the driver's side window was made in October of 1969.

Passenger: YV - "Y" denotes October and "V" denotes 1969 meaning the passenger's side window was made in October of 1969.

Rear: YV - "Y" denotes October and "V" denotes 1969 meaning the rear window was made in October 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 November 22, 1969 (P22). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.

This car is in seems to be in very good mechanical condition and everything on the car works.  It is an exceptional driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds.  It starts right away every time, idles well, and runs well.  The car shifts well throughout the power band.  The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other.  Also, the engine compartment is clean and nicely detailed as one can see in the photos.  The is no smoke when driving the car.  After it has been sitting for a long period it will smoke a bit when it is first started.  It goes away quickly once you start driving so this isn't an internal problem with the engine or anything major like that, just some guide seals, which are easily serviceable.  The horn works as do all the exterior lights, all gauges (with the obvious exception of the clock), wipers, blower on all speeds, and even the a/c.  The vacuum system for the headlights and wiper door works correctly with no binding.  As with most 1968-71 Corvettes the fiber optic light monitoring system is not totally functional.  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 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 that 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.
