Barn/Garage Find photos of 69 I just bought
Here are a few photos of a 69 Corvette I just bought. The pictures will show it is as pretty close to a barn find or garage find as you can get. Unfortunately, I was not along when this car was retrieved, but the person who found it took plenty of pictures. When I first saw the car, it had been washed, but that was all.

Still has the original 4spd, and all the other BB features. It is a highly optioned car having pw, pb, ps, A/C, am/fm/stereo, speed warning speedometer, and factory alarm system. It also has a luggage rack and side pipes. Burgandy with saddle leather interior. Second owner owned it for 40 years. Last driven in 1979, and still has the tags on it from that year, and I have the matching registration card. Also have the "subsequent owner" p-o-p with the second owner data. Frame and birdcage are fine. |
All in all it looks like a nice lil find i wish mine would have been that good lol.

Nice! Looks like some critters were dancing on it for a few decades. Make sure you get the right nose emblem on there too! Good luck and congrats! Get some new pics up! :cheers:

Now you have a project! If it was stored under that house for all that time, it probably stayed dry, which is the most important storage issue. I think you may be in for more work than you think, but it looks like a nice car to begin with. I am glad someone is going to put some love into that car after being neglected for all those years. Feel free to contact me if I can be of help! :thumbs:

I forgot to mention it has tilt/tele also. Check out the old B F Goodrich tires, they have periods after the B and F. It has been a long time since I have seen that!

Did you get the original big block hood with it?
