This matching-numbers 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is powered by the optional L46 350ci V8 rated at 350 horsepower and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that makes these chrome-bumper C3s so desirable. Finished in Cortez Silver over a black interior, this Corvette has a sharp, classic look and benefits from a thoughtful blend of originality and tasteful upgrades.
The black interior presents as original and has been upgraded with a modern Kenwood Bluetooth radio head unit for improved usability, while the exterior was freshened in 2024 with a repaint and new clearcoat. The car has also been updated with a Holley Sniper EFI system, helping provide improved drivability and more consistent performance over a traditional carbureted setup.
Additional upgrades completed in 2024 include a Borgeson power steering unit, tilt steering column, electronic ignition, rebuilt suspension with polyurethane bushings, new BFGoodrich tires, and a Vintage Air climate-control system. Combined with power brakes, these upgrades make this Corvette a much more enjoyable car to drive while still preserving the character that makes a 1969 big-horsepower small-block 4-speed car so appealing.
This convertible is offered with both a black vinyl soft top and the factory-painted removable hardtop, adding to its versatility and overall appeal. The sale also includes the original 4-barrel carburetor, original radio head unit, a binder containing photos from a 1989 restoration, receipts from the 2024 work, and a copy of the original GM order sheet.
With its matching-numbers L46 engine, 4-speed manual transmission, attractive Cortez Silver over black color combination, and a strong list of recent upgrades and documentation, this 1969 Corvette Convertible is a well-rounded example that offers both classic Corvette styling and improved road manners.
