Hi r,
If that 69 is as NICE as it looks in those 2 pictures you'll soon forget about the decked block.....and most people won't know the difference!
Does the hood open? Always nice to see some pictures of a 350/350 engine compartment!
Good Luck as you begin to enjoy it!
Regards,
Alan
Truth be told....Pretty awful radio installation!

OG color was blue (my favorite). But, I dig the white on blue a lot. Fairly uncommon from what I've seen over the yrs. Not my 1st Vette. I quit counting yrs ago! Thanks

Beautiful '69. And small blocks were better balanced cars. I've drove a number of them. Before I got my current car, there was this '69 Vert that was such a nice car, and needed nothing. Why didn't I buy it?

Now there is no reason you can't enjoy this car.
