Fans of the classic curves of the C3 Corvette will be drooling over this 1969 Stingray coupe currently up for auction on eBay out of Mexia, Texas.
Bidding has already climbed to $14,700 with more than 30 bids logged, though the reserve remains unmet. With three days left, interest is only expected to grow.
The first thing that stands out is the color combination. Silver over green isn’t something you see often on a C3, and it gives this Stingray a personality all its own — understated at first glance, but undeniably distinctive once the light hits it.
Under the hood sits a 350 V8, paired with a 3 speed automatic transmission, a setup that made these early C3s such comfortable cruisers. The seller notes that the car has been “well maintained and cared for over the years,” with page after page of receipts shown in the listing.
The odometer shows 25,000 miles, though it has rolled over, leaving the true mileage unknown. Still, the condition suggests a car that has been cared for rather than neglected. This was no barn find – indeed, one of the listing photos shows the car carefully sheltered beneath a carport attached to the owner’s house.
This Stingray checks all the boxes for fans of late ’60s Corvette design. The T tops lift off for open air driving, the pop up headlights still deliver that unmistakable C3 charm, and the chrome accents — from the bumpers to the luggage rack — shine like jewelry against the silver paint.
Inside, bucket seats flank a center console, and a three spoke steering wheel frames the view ahead. An AM/FM radio sits in the dash, keeping the period correct vibe intact. Cooper Cobra radials give the car a confident stance, and the side exit exhaust adds a touch of attitude every time the V8 clears its throat.
As you might expect from a car in the southern United States, the owner installed a Vintage Air climate control system, giving the cabin reliable heating and cooling — an expensive but welcome upgrade for anyone planning to actually drive the car rather than just admire it.
The seller describes the Corvette as a “solid driver quality example,” and that seems to be the right framing. It’s not a museum piece, but it’s a car you can enjoy — something that starts easily, rides on newer tires, and feels ready for weekend cruises or local shows.
“It presents in great condition and is ready to be enjoyed,” the owner says. “Overall, this is a strong, honest Stingray that offers classic Corvette style and performance at an accessible entry point.”
