Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C3 Coupe

von Braun´s Review

Manual Corvette C3 Coupe “chrome bumpers” with original small block engine and matching numbers. The third-generation Corvette from 1969 represents the most iconic design among the C3 and Stingray models. With shark-inspired air vents in the front fenders and fully integrated “two-in-one” door handles, the 1969 model year features one of the most attractive executions of the C3 version. This example was repainted twelve years ago in the shade “972 Can-Am White.” The paint still retains excellent gloss and condition to this day. Combined with a black interior and red floor mats in good condition, the car presents a clean and tasteful appearance. It is equipped with an unrestored FM/AM radio with an automatic electric antenna, which has very limited functionality. The roof features removable targa panels and a detachable rear window that can be stored in the compartment behind the seats.

The car appears to be relatively untouched and in largely original condition. Shims between the frame and body have likely corroded somewhat, which, together with worn springs, causes a slight height difference between the right and left rear fenders. The bushings and seals in the chassis would benefit from an update as they are old and dry. The car runs smoothly, both in the engine and the 4-speed manual transmission. Under the hood sits the original engine—a 5.7-liter V8 with 350 cubic inches, matching numbers, and producing 350 horsepower.
