Thinking about a 69 Vert

Hello,

I am new to the corvette world, and am thinking would be nice to have a 69 vert. This was the year I was born. What is the going price on a pristine garage queen?

Engine options and documentation make that a hard question to answer. A base engine car may go for 25K while an L88 may be over 100k.

:iagree: There are lots of variables. Fully restored tends to go for a little more than clean original, some options are rarer and/or more desireable than others, and originality of parts makes a big difference (the whole "numbers matching" thing, which despite what most sellers will tell you does not just mean a matching number block). The documentation that Bluevetteman mentions includes the documents that came with the car from the factory (window stickers, protectoplates, etc.), build sheets (usually glued to the top of the gas tank), and documented milage and restoration.

Oh, and welcome to the forum. This is definitely the place to find out everything you could possibly want to know about vettes.

You could get a nice compelete car in the $25K range. Sorta a general response, but it is a hard question to answer.
