If you’re seeking an original Corvette C3 with an authentic odometer reading, this particular model may not meet your expectations. Although it underwent a complete restoration in 2023, its owner has barely driven it since. With only 601 additional miles (approximately 1,000 km) on the clock, this Corvette looks and feels brand new.

The car boasts its original factory paint color, Cortez Silver, verified by authentic decals. The interior features black leather upholstery, and this Corvette is equipped with air conditioning, four-wheel disc brakes, and all components in pristine condition.

Under the hood, the Stingray houses a 427ci engine producing 390 horsepower, identifying it as the L36 variant.

The engine is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. While over 16,500 of the 1969 Corvettes were fitted with the M20 transmission, the rare M22 heavy-duty transmission is highly sought after. Priced $290 more, only 101 vehicles received this upgrade, making it a mere 0.3% of total Corvette production that year.

At auction, this Corvette fetched an impressive $52,099 (approximately 1.37 billion VND), a testament to the rarity of the Chevrolet Corvette C3.

In Vietnam, only two Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingrays are known to exist, both owned by entrepreneur Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ.
