69 on ebay
I have never seen this interior color on an early C3. Looks very unique. Is it legit? Please comment on this car. It looks very interesting....

Yes. Gun Metal was available in 68 and 69. It's a very nice color.
The Corvette Black Book and The NCRS 68-82 Specifications Guide list interior and exterior color codes. Order copies.
Looks like a nice 69.

30k is a decent price albeit not a great price. If serious, an inspection would b e in order

Convertible L46 w/ sidepipes, gorgeous car. Unfortunately, not an original sidepipe car, and rear exhaust wasn't blocked off correctly.
Black seat belts in a gunmetal interior?

Thanks... much appreciated. But I could pick apart my old car too. It's going to be very difficult to find a good replacement. Time is on my side. I think this color scheme is very nice and have never seen it before.

Gunmetal vinyl and leather were codes 427 and 428 in `69...

Wow, this is the color combo that I would have switched to when I was shopping for my triple black '69. I chose a similar color combo coupe as a Pick Winner at Carlisle a couple years ago. Simply gorgeous, just made for the shark lines.
I love that the smog is there. Absolutely terrible dropping the ball on the rear valance for the sidepipes addition. There some money there to fix properly. Also, ad says interior is original, but headrest design is wrong.
Still, nice nice car.

My 69' coupe rolled off the assembly line with the Cortez Silver / Gunmetal combo. Unfortunately, one of the POs decided red with a black interior was easier to sell-
Red and black never goes out of style but I kinda wish they would have left it the original color(s).
This is the first one I've seen with this combo- I like it!

427 is green vinyl and 428 is green leather. I think Roger's site is incorrect.

When I saw the rear valance, 
Ok so educate me on the head rest please Sir. Is it the stiching? Cause it looks to be to up to date, also didnt think there was any stiching on the 69 headrest.

Correct, there should be no stitching. They should have a molded look. Stitched restorations are common because they are much easier.
