One of only 116 examples, this rare Corvette remains completely original and highly sought after by collectors.

A Time-Capsule American Muscle Car

An ultra-rare 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible is now available at auction through SBX Cars, expected to surpass $1 million USD. This unrestored example is one of just 116 L88 convertibles built that year, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of classic American performance.

Factory-Spec Performance and Original Powertrain

The Corvette retains its original 427 ci L88 V-8 engine, rated at 430 horsepower, paired with a Muncie M22 four-speed manual gearbox for a pure motorsport driving experience. Designed with racing in mind, the car omits luxury options such as air conditioning, power steering, and a radio, keeping the weight down and focus on performance.

Iconic Styling and Low Mileage

Finished in Le Mans Blue with a black convertible top and matching vinyl interior, the car features steel wheels with chrome trim rings, Firestone redline tires, vented front fenders, retractable quad headlights, and split rear bumpers. Showing just 19,886 miles, this L88 Convertible received a Top Flight Award from the National Corvette Restorers Society, cementing its status as one of the purest examples of its generation.
