We discover an all original untouched barn find 1969 Corvette that has been parked since 1990.
The 1969 Corvette features the new "shark body" design which first appeared in 1968. Many feel the '69 is the most desirable and most appealing visually of the C3 designs which carried from 1968 through 1982. Particularly appealing is that the 1969 Corvette could still be had with the potent L-88 427 as well as optional aluminum heads on the L-71 and tri-power carburetion which went away after '69 as did the N-14 side mounted exhaust.
