One-Of-One 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray ZL-1 Convertible Expected To Fetch $3M | Carscoops carscoops
is a historic car for a number of reasons but very few are as special as this 1969 example. It’s one of two factory-built aluminum 427 ZL-1 Corvettes ever made. And it’s the only one with a convertible drop top.but even many die-hard Vette fans don’t know about this car. A very special factory option code, RPO ZL-1, cost $4,718 on its own and more than doubled the price of the car.
The resulting 560 hp is fed through an M40 automatic transmission and then straight to the rear wheels. This isn’t just though. The brakes and suspension were upgraded too. The car was stripped of creature comforts too. The radio, heater, AC, power windows, and power steering are all absent in the car.Evidently, that was a fair trade for this car’s original owner John W. Maher who traded in a 1988 L88 Corvette Convertible for this one. In fact, this is the only ZL-1 Convertible ever made and it’s the only ZL-1 ever sold new to a retail customer.
