Please call Greg directly at 513-200-9226 with any questions about this car.

Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful numbers matching 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible in fantastic condition with the 4-speed transmission. This Stingray looks spectacular, runs great, and is an excellent driver; overall the car is exceptionally clean. It is finished in the beautiful color combination of Can-Am White (972) over Bright Blue Vinyl (411) with a black soft top. This is the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag, which is pictured in this ad.

There are a great number of records and receipts that go with the car for maintenance and repairs over the years that total almost $6,000. There is one receipt for over $4,000 from just last year. Also included with the car is the owner's manual and an original 1969 Corvette brochure from GM.

This Corvette is "Numbers Matching” meaning the engine and transmission that are in the car now are the same correct and original units that were installed at the factory in St. Louis in 1969. The last six digits of the VIN, 733341, are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured.

We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable classic Corvette Stingray Convertible at an unbeatable value. The convertible Stingrays draw a nice premium over the standard coupe body style. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C3 "chrome bumper" Corvettes from 1968 to 1972 is absolutely red hot right now and on the rise. Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information below to get a true sense of how nice this Corvette really is.

As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.

Exterior

The Can-Am White (972) exterior is in excellent condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has dazzling gloss, smooth finish, and deep shine. The rally wheels and center caps are in great condition with a nice finish and no curb rash. Please note that this Stingray has the correct and original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the cheap aftermarket foreign made replacements. The BF Goodrich raised white letter tires have plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 225/70R15. The soft top is in excellent condition with holes or frayed edges. The rear window is clear and not scratched up or yellowed. The chrome and brightwork looks wonderful overall with a brilliant finish and no pitting. There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. This Corvette has no rust issues and as one can see in the many photos of the underside it is very clean underneath. The frame is totally solid with no rust around the "key hole" area in front of the rear tire and there are no signs of corrosion around the windshield, which are the two most notorious areas for rust on a Corvette of this era. We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how solid this car is.

Interior

The Bright Blue (411) interior of the Corvette is in fantastic condition. The seats are in excellent shape with no rips, holes, or split seams. The seat is not overly worn in the typical spot on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the lenses are clear. The door panels are in superb condition, there are no cracks in the typical spot where the driver's elbow sits. The carpet is also in great condition with no rips, holes, or major stains. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. This Stingray still has its original radio that works well and gets good reception. Most importantly, the dash has never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. The dash is in good shape with no sun fading, but does have a couple cracks as one can see in the photos. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes.

Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this Stingray has received throughout its life.

Mechanical

This Corvette seems to be in excellent mechanical condition. As stated above the car has nearly $6,000 in receipts including recent service so the car seems to be very well sorted mechanically. The original numbers matching engine starts up right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. The car drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In the video one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts great, the shifter is tight, and does not pop out of gear or grind. The clutch feels good. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos. The original air cleaner, valve covers, and even the ignition shielding are all still in place.

The horn works as do the exterior lights, dash lights, indicators, wipers, and blower for the heater on all speeds; even the “Seat Belt” light on the dash works. Amazing, the entire fiber optics system work and all of the indicators illuminate properly when they should. The vacuum system for the headlights and wiper door works properly. Please note that the vacuum system works properly from both the respective switches on the dash and the override switch under the steering column. The operation of the headlights and wiper door by both switches can be seen in the video. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. The blower works, but the switch can be a bit finicky sometimes. As one can hear in the video, this Stingray sounds absolutely awesome and has a very healthy exhaust note. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the top down 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 burned out bulb. Each lamp on the outside of the car has an actual fiber optic cable that runs to an indicator on the center console. There are nine small indicators on the console and each has its own fiber 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 imagine, over time this is very common.

Overall Condition

Overall, this 1969 Corvette looks spectacular, is in excellent condition, and is a true bargain at our asking price. The convertible body style, the manual transmission, the interesting and unique color combination, and the great extent to which the numbers match make this Stingray especially important and very hard to duplicate. Numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing and as one can see, this car is quite correct. There are photos of the VIN stamp on the engine block, suffix code, engine assembly date, transmission code, transmission date, and transmission VIN stamp. In my opinion and based on our experience the "Chrome Bumper" cars from 1968-1972 are the most collectible and hottest in the entire Corvette market right now. The value of these cars has gone up exponentially in recent years. They are all solid investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.

Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car in such great detail to give you all of the numbers, options, photos, and video. As stated above, numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing, especially for an exceptional example like this car, and will become even more important as time passes and this car becomes older and even more rare. This information is very valuable and important for pricing. Any prospective buyer, for any of our vehicles or from other sellers, should ask for all the numbers and information before he or she makes a purchase.

Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call with any questions.
