The second year of Chevy's third generation sports car, the '69 Corvette Stingray could be had with either a big block or small block Chevrolet V-8. We've already seen a big block Le Mans Blue coupe on these pages, identifiable by the bulging domed hood.
The lack of said hood bulge indicates that this Can-Am White hardtop coupe, rolling up College Avenue with its t-tops removed, has either the base 300 horsepower Turbo-Fire 350 small block V-8 or the optional L48 Turbo-Fire 350 that was rated at 350 SAE gross horsepower. The 350 cubic inch small block was new for the 1969 model year, replacing the 327 cube small block from the previous year.
This one was photographed in June of 2024 using an Olympus OM-D E-M1X and a Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm F2.8-4.0 ASPH zoom lens.
It looks like it has the finned wheel covers, too. Most of the C3s I see have the rally wheels.
