Mine is stripped, but that's what I like about it.
Convertible
PW
PS
White letter tires
Stereo
Hard top
Only 1,664 (4.3% of the total production) were painted Bright Green.
Some reversible mods made to an otherwise original car.

Perhaps the rarest chrome bumper big block C3 except ZL1:
Convertible
Tuxedo black w/brite blue int.
L71: 427/435 hp
PW
PB
PS
Rear window defrost
Turbo 400 ("CY" trans)
The rarity is in the color and the options not usually assocated w/the solid lifter tri-power big block:PS, PB, and CY automatic (1 of 255, '69 only). Rare enough that many Corvette enthusiasts disbelieve this combination was factory. Fortunately I have excellent docs.
This is a project car coming back together, strated it up for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

They had a lot of stuff standard in the later cars but my '80 has a few additional options:
Power Locks
Glass T-tops
Rear Window Defogger
HD Shocks
Cruise Control
L-82
Aluminum Wheels
White Letter Tires
AM/FM/8 Track
Power Antenna
Dual Rear Speakers
Basicaly everything but the CB, Rear T-Top carrier, and Towing Package
so I guess you could say "Loaded"
-Mark.

'69 Convertible
980 Riverside Gold - STD black vinyl interior (comfortweave)
Black convertible top
original engine, trans, and rear - other numbers match
L-36 427/390
M-20 4 speed
Positraction - 3.08
Tinted glass - all
PS
PB
AM/FM monoral (it works)
Tilt/Tele
Front Fender Louver Trim
Aux Hardtop
Black Vinyl roof/Hardtop
Headrests
Dealer installed luggage rack (original, but re-chromed)
modifications to original engine
30 over - blue printed/balanced
TRW 10.5/1 pistons
Heads redone to handle unleaded fuel
3 angle valve job
Sig Erson roller rockers
Comp Cams 270 Magnum w/matching springs
With the 3.08 rear it makes this a great cruiser, very easy to drive around town, but still enough motor to get most peoples attention.
Here is a picture just after the body on restoration a few years ago.
