Thee 1969 vette is probably the best of the C3 series because they got all the bugs out of the 1968 model (first year)
It is probably a good entry level car to buy if you want Vette. If it was me, I would look at a C5 or C6.
good luck.

I LOVE Corvettes, had a few books on them... then I caught the Porsche bug.
Jim pretty much nailed it, pre 1972 is the way to go but those are falling into the "classic car" trap and now bringing $$.
Much better deals on C5 or C6 and I presume much better drivers (that is what I would get if I was in the market).
All IMHO
