With a build sheet, and all the documentation you can muster.
As an example, my 69 is an L-89,427/435 4 speed convertible. Problem is the original engine has been gone since 1971 along with the 1971 thinking "Who needs to keep this trash". So my 1 of 390 built is just another Corvette. I hate it, but I'm fine with it.

Hi l,
The words "Very clean show room quality" sound like used car salesmen hype.
Generally with a 48 year old Corvette a few photos (exterior, interior, engine compartment and chassis) show what the car is.
You've not given anyone enough information to even GUESS at the value of the car you have.
Regards,
Alan

That said, it's probably worth what you paid for it.

Hi I,
Well this 69 might be just the reason for you to BECOME a 'car guy'!
Even a couple of photos will help people give you an idea of what's in your lap.
Might be something very nice!

Hi l,
Here you go:
At first look this appears to be a NICE car.
If this convertible fell into your lap you were in the right place at the right time!
Thoughts to follow!

A photo of the engine compartment and interior would be good if you can.

Looks nice.
Its a small block. If its mostly original (its not all original as I can see just by the few pics you showed) and has the born with drive train you should be able to get in the mid 20s. I haven't seen too many 69 small blocks get near or past 30k even with factory sidepipes. Just look at the For Sale forum on this site and you will see small block 69s cars for sale for years that will never sell because they are asking over 30k. (Well, to say 'never' is not true, just not for another maybe 10 or 20 years).
In order to get the highest amount you would need good original factory documentation. This is also assuming the frame and birdcage are in good shape. It also assumes that the car has not been totally wrecked and put back together, even if put back nicely.
You will need to give prospective buyers very good detailed pictures of important things to see. Lots of pictures are no good if they don't show anything of importance.
Best of luck

I got this car from the 2nd owner (I'm #3), but when he got it in 1971, he was a next door neighbor. I've been around this car and worked on it since 1971. There is nothing on the car that has not been apart one time or another. Build sheet is long gone, along with the protect-o-plate and everything else.
