'69 owners-Do I have your engine?
I have a '69 Corvette 350/350 engine in a car, dated 11-69. Block 3970010.
If you are looking for the original engine to your car, PM me the VIN.

No, it's in another car. But I may have found another motor for that one, so it occurred to me that someone with an NOM '69 just might be looking for their original and I might have it. I'll probably post it in the Driveline and see if any NCRS people are looking.
A couple crash and burns on my own '69 purchase. Harder than I thought, but I'm being particular. It will come along.

1969 Corvettes were produced into Dec '69, accounting for the fact there were over twice as many '69s as there were '70s. '70s were produced starting Jan, 1970. Fair question, though.

I'd prefer not to advertise the VIN at this time. (I think I spend too much time with the criminal element!) If someone is looking for a specific '69 motor from that time frame it's just as easy that they check with me.

St. Louis closed December 19th, 1969 after the last '69 was assembled and did not reopen until January 1970. There may have been a few unused 1969 dated engines in the plant, but there would not have been any leftovers as old as November. '70 production did not ramp up until January, 1970 and the cars were not availabe to the public until February.
