Whats it worth?? 80 years old and time to sell some toys. Don’t seem to be able to keep up with all the cleaning/maintenance on 3 Vettes (1966, 1969, 2012). My 1st vette back in 1964 was a Black ’64 Coupe so the Black ’66 Coupe is my keeper. The 2012 is much easier to get in/out & drive so it also stays for the time being. That leaves the 1969 Corvette on the chopping block

Not NCRS but a reliable driver. Lots of goodies (see below). Has original #’s block if you’re interested in that stuff but most everything else has been upgraded/changed.

PO stated about 400hp but there is no documentation. All I can vouch for is trickflow aluminum heads and roller rockers (I’ve seen them).

What does it need? Wipers don’t work could be sensors/motor/?? But didn’t work when I got it and still don’t – vacuum door opens.
Clock doesn’t work.
Gas gauge has a mind of its own works some days and not others.
Convertible top is like new but back bow doesn’t want to lock down anymore. I put new weather striping on hardtop and installed and haven’t had it off for over a year.
A few of the optic console lights work but most don’t.
Paint deep shine – Small blister/bubble on right front fender.

Need some TLC.

Everything else works

I can't really help you with what the going rate would be on this, but looks good and will sell quickly.

 

That thing is hawt. List on BaT and it will kill it.

Are the spinners mounted on the wrong side? Seems like they should be “spinning” the other way.

 

Great looking convert. Is it an original Black/Black car?

 

If they are true knock-off spinners, then they're on correctly. Tthe flat of the spinner is the surface used to hammer it tight. Driver's side is tightened in conventional right-hand thread (clockwise); passenger side is left-hand, so tightened counterclockwise.

Yellow arrows indicate the hammer surface to tighten:

 

33k is the number.....

Hagerty says..
On a '69 L46 Roadster in #2 excellent condition..$62,500. #3 good $40,700.
That's if it was original....not sure how the mods would effect the $$$...

 

They are real knock-offs and they are mounted correctly

 

Beautiful car. For many/most, that car checks all the boxes, so I'd imagine you'll have many interested buyers. High demand can certainly drive value. Bring a Trailer or a similar auction site might do you well. I'm not sure about the fees on various auctions sites or for auctions in general, but that car looks to have that "it factor" to me.

Haggerty, Corvette Magazine, Hemmings and other valuation sources seem to run high to me. Like so many of us, I watch a lot of Mecum and Barrett Jackson where the prices these cars fetch is outrageous... but many of those aren't drivers.
Triple black, convertible, original/survivor or Naybor's Brothers freshly restored 350-350 69 show cars could easily bring $55-$60 there.

I'd say your car is worth north of $40, but where exactly is just a guess. My amateur market research -- searching sites, classifieds, and lots almost daily for about a decade -- reveals an upward trend in chrome bumper c3 prices, especially convertibles... with 69 being perhaps the most desirable. I'd list it at least in the $45 ish range and if it doesn't sell there, maybe come down a bit.

Best of luck with your sale.

When I purchased Dec 2014

Which by my calculations has less than 10,000 miles since complete frame off restoration. ** PO stated about 5,xxx miles prior to sale **

 

I don't have anything to add as far as the potential value of your car. I just wanted to chime in and say damn that car is pretty! Wish I did have the scratch to offer you for it!

 

Your car looks great! I think it would go for at least $35k, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it sold for north of $40k.

I also agree with checking out Bring a Trailer. This car looks to be in great condition, and has enough updates and tastefully done modifications that it would have broad appeal. I also read the comments on BAT whenever a ‘69 L46 is for sale, as that’s what I have. There is definitely a growing appreciation for this high performance small block engine. I can see it doing really well.

Good luck!
