Default Corvette pedal car....C3?

I've had this Corvette pedal car for about 20 years or so and thought it was a C4 when I stored it. I came across it last week and it looks more like a 68 or 69 with a BB hood.
Any thoughts on the year it might represent?

Try looking all around on the inside, there might be some dates or patents to help you determine the build year.

Hi 71 G,
That is a pretty neat little car!
The 4 silver 'gills' on each fender makes me think 68-69 too. I'm ignoring the 4 on the rear deck!!!!
Regards,
Alan

G'day,
Chrome bumper mouldings, upswept rear spoiler, four extractor slots, no door push buttons, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm saying '69-'70, not a '68.

Regards from Down Under

It's a cute little Corvette "likeness".

That's awesome! The hood is missing the BB trim, but otherwise looks most like a '69 to me.

My daughter's first 'vette was this previously-owned C4...

What's the gas mileage like on that "bad boy"? If it's decent, I would be interested in purchasing it. Gas here just went over $6.00 a gallon . If the prices keep going up , I might have to resort to driving something like this. Seriously, neat little car - I have never seen one like that before.

I'm going 68 or 69 with a lean toward 69. Two reasons.. the license plate on the back resembles the 69 USA-1 plate, and no push bottons.

Side fenders 68-69, hood 68-82.
