Value for 69 Vert
I was trying to get a good value for 69 Vert with 427/390 orginal motor. Color 990 Orange original. Also its a rare late built P22 (12/22/69) car. Does that late build add any value considering they don't usually run a model year past Sept. The seq number is 36345. Posi 3:36 rear, PS, I have the build sheet but it is very diffcuilt to real it was the on the gas tank.

P22 ought to be November, 1969. Consecutive unit number would not necessarily add to the value of the car unless it was a very early or very late car. Your major price hurdle with this car is the big block. What is the seller asking?
Due to labor disputes, '69 production ran way long -- longest single production run for C3s.

As somone else said, the condition of the car and the big block, assuming it is the original block, will have the biggest impact on your value.
My '69 is 37202 with a trim tag date of December 3, 1969, so your car was assembled in November, not December. But the fact that my car is closer to the end of production that someone elses car, doesn't do anything for value.
Now, if it was the last of something unusual, then yes. As an example, the last (documented) L-88 is probably going to bring more bucks. But both of us have 390 HP Verts and of the 38+ thousand Vettes produced that year, around 1/4th were 390 HP cars.
Just my opinion, but condition and big block will drive the value, at least that is what I have seen. IMO.
