’69 Corvette Stingray

Filed under: Uncategorized - Administrator @ 12:20 pm

I’ve been a fan of the Chevrolet Corvette since the time I collected auto magazines and when I got hooked on Gran Turismo PS games. The Corvette model is absolutely the all-American super car and the world’s most renowned vehicle over the last 5 decades. One of the best Corvettes ever created is the ’69 Stingray.

The 1969 Stingray is perhaps the most pleasing of all the C3 models with the hottest engine and radiator. There were lots of useful developments compared to the ‘68 model.  Some changes were aesthetic, but nearly all would be measured as the "bug" attachments and feature enrichments.

Check out the specs courtesy of MidLifeClassics.com:
