1969 Corvette convertible, 427/390, M20, A/C–ORIGINAL

Not sure how you'd order a '70 in April of '69, Lee. It was built the second week of October. Probably close to pushing into the '70 production. It was stamped on the order form as such. No one changed the intake. I'm curious what would indicate that it was.

RTS, The MA6 option didn't make it on the car. The M21 didn't either.

Wouldn't 1969 production end at the end of July 1969?

Isn't the 427/390 HP engine is supposed to have a painted cast iron intake manifold and not an aluminum intake manifold?

I read there was an extended production run for the 1969 model year due a labor strike. The aluminum intake is correct for '69.
