I just checked, and I was wrong about the hood on the 69. This model was made with the baldwin motion hood, and another version had the regular big block hood.

Default LT-1 /big block hood.....1:25 scale

Revell produced a kit of an orange 69 coupe which had a LT-1 /standard big block hood the kit is still readily available as I've recently purchased 2. The kit is funny as it was originally marketed as a "69 corvette 429 coupe". Look on Ebay you will find it. serial #7149 on the corner of the box. By the way i'm also building a model of my black 69 . I've used parts from 3 kits to complete it realistically down to the American Racing Vector rims and Hooker sidepipes........We all know this Vette thing is an illness

That's the kit I was talking about. They didn't all say 429 on the box. The misprint was corrected.
