1969 Chevrolet Corvette Specification's 
     

 


 

        The Stingray name (now spelled as one word) 

         appears on the front fenders above four vertical fender vents.              

  The backup  lights  were integrated into the center tail lights, vs the 68 with Backup lights located below the Bumpers.

 The fenders are unflared and the front cornering lamps are round. 

The ignition was moved onto the steering column and the door depression button used in 1968 was eliminated. 

A key lock was put in it's place. 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 1969 Corvette build cycle was from September 1968 until December 1969.
One of the longest build cycles for a US car.
