69 covvette with 350 .stick shift do not if 3 or 4 speed.no ac. very good shap. says it has 2 tops.did 69 have a hard top that comes off.it is not a t top if it has a sort top where does it stay. rough idea how munch it is worth car is red and looks super good.

its a roadster as opposed to a 69 coupe, yes, they came with either soft top and/or hardtop that is removable. soft top folds into the area behind the seats. value hard to state with so little info. check frame at kick-up just foreword of rear wheels as this is where rust is most common. mike

going to drive 69 corvette tomoro. seller don t know munch about it. not even sure it has power steering. is that possible if so do they steer ok.like to hear from someone who had one or can tell me a little about them.it in very good shape.no ac .if down the road I want to put ac in it about what would it cost. thanks

I have a survivor 1969 427 4 speed,fully (all options) factory equipped all original even down to the original spare tire and rim never removed from the car. I was the first person to remove the T top, it was garage kept for 34 years, I do know a little about value, mine is 100% documented which makes it rare and upper end.

Anyway a 350 like the one your looking at in very good condition with the options offered would go for about $22,000 or less if an automatic, the (Maco) was made for several years but the 69 was the last year for the uni body construction. If you go to the big block, they made the single carb 427 and a Tri power 427 also a 454 the problem with those 2 is they have solid lifters and a pain to keep adjusted, they do go for a little more then mine because there are fewer of them. The 350 engine is nothing special and used a lot for daily driving same look just a lot of them around.

thanks for the come back .I brough the corvette. my best friend let me have it way less then other would give .he never drove it.if it not show room it got to be close I have a 56 coupe got vette for my wife,did not want 4 speed. not sure wife can drive it she is 55 foot seat will not go forward enough hard to believe most people can not go back enough. thanks will be asking you about little things smitty

More than happy to help, you did not say what you paid but was I high or low with my value? The women that owned mine was about that height or maybe a inch taller.

I got it for less.he my best fried.he not into old cars just picked it up from someone who needed money thanks. my wife said we try it for a year. we was looking for a car you could drive more then my 36 smitty

Look behind the seat, one option was an over the shoulder harness making it a 3 point seat belt.
