Hi Everyone I’m a new member here.
Just purchased a Chrome bumper 1969 C3.
Would love to hear how to figure out how rare of a car I have.

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C3!
A lot of the rarity of your car will depend upon the options. There were 38,762 1969 Corvettes made. Some of the more rare options are 101 with the M22 trans; 102 had the MA6 heavy duty clutch; and so forth.
As Vetteman Jack indicated, members of the C3 sections would be able to help you gain more understanding of your Corvette.
But, regardless of rarity, enjoy your ride!
