This great car is an awesome example of the venerable C3 Corvette. Improvement and additions to the 1969 C3 Vette include the Stingray name (now spelled as one word), which now appears on the front fenders above four vertical fender vents. The backup lights were integrated into the center tail lights. The fenders are un-flared and the front cornering lamps are round. The steering-wheel diameter was trimmed an inch for more under-rim thigh clearance. Interior door handles and control knobs... were redesigned. A warning light was added to warn that the headlights hadn't completely opened. The interior has glove box mounted map pockets but no wood on the door panels. Front and rear disc brakes, headlight washers, center console, wheel trim rings, carpeting and all vinyl upholstery are standard; the windshield-washer jets were moved to the wiper arms. The frame was stiffened and standard rim width went up to eight inches. This black beauty boasts the LT-1 motor, a 350 cu in (5.7 L) small-block delivering a factory rated 370 hp.
