Default LeMans Blue 1969 Corvette Stingray Will Make You Wanna Shop



This lovely LeMans Blue 1969 Corvette Stingray is a numbers-matching masterpiece that’s got us thinking about how the values of vintage C3s are on the rise.

Le Mans blue is my favorite color but regardless of the price the luggage rack is a deal breaker for me.

It is a gorgeous car, but details like this and others (lack of blackout behind last fender louver) make you scratch your head. I can't fault an owner for wanting leather, passenger mirror, wood steering wheel, and a luggage rack, but I do wonder why they didn't put head rests and changed the radio.

The car looks very nice but no masterpiece.

This does not convince me prices are on the rise, only the asking prices from dealers for cars that will not be selling anytime soon.

No smog equipment, passenger side mirror (no 69 came with one from the factory) no GM docs, as mentioned above if the car has louver trim the 4th filled in vent is supposed to be painted black inside, alt looks right, hard to see but the overflow cap might not be right, I think it's supposed to have the coffee can wiper actuator, luggage rack, no picture of the engine pad and a top flight asking price.....

If you want 70k no problem. But then I expect the car to be perfect. Some things are easy to fix, some are not such as the passenger mirror.

I can not stand there ebay descriptions. Low slung roadster, sculpted hood, just give me the details without all the bs to read through. Please. Leave out the payment-scorching, wind-swirling, stoplight slaying, weenie pulling garbage and stick to the facts. Some facts I could do without like telling me the cars has disc brakes at every corner. As opposed to what? Drums?

Documented by NCRS. IT'S THE SHIPPING REPORT

It's a nice car. Let it do the talking. Good luck with that asking price without fixing the missing and/or extras it should not have.

You asked for comments.......
