Of the 22,129 Corvette Coupes built in 1969, only 2,722 customers paid the $437.10 option price for the coveted big-block 427-cid, 435-hp V-8 L71 Turbo-Jet engine with three two-barrel carburetors. Of this small number, the owner reports that his research indicates that only 21 435 horsepower cars received the automatic transmission like seen in this Monza Red with black interior car.

Described as being in original condition and having its original window sticker and original Protect-O-Plate, this Corvette has approximately 66,000 miles on the odometer and the owner believes this o be accurate. Among the list of equipment on the window sticker are a Posi-traction rear end with 3.36:1 gearing, power four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, side louver trim inserts, side pipe exhaust, the removable rear window has a defroster, tinted glass, head restraints, full transistor ignition, speed warning indicator, Rally wheels, power windows and an AM/FM radio. Redline tires complement the look of force that this platform conveys.
