I would seriously consider it, but since it's not original, I don't know about the long term resale. But just to own a beautiful chrome bumber, it would be worth that money to me if I had it to spare.

He's a forum member, forum nick is also 1bad69, probably most of the Toronto area guys have seen or know about that car. Go to the Canadian Events section.

He has posted it for sale on this forum, so you might want to ask qustions in his "for sale" thread.

I've seen the car in person and it is faaaast and the body looks great. Interior looks good for a '69. The only problem is the frame which shouldn't be too big a deal for you if you get a donor frame and have the ability to it with a couple of buddies.

Thanks for the many replies you got me realy worried about the frame. I dont think i have the abilities and tools to do a frame swap so i would have to go to a shop. Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost me to fix the frame??

Frame swap at a Vette restoration shop is probably in the neighborhood of 6-10 thousand dollars.
