I found an old ad that I placed to sell my 69 427/435 Vette 10 years ago and I could not sell the car I even reduced the price to $19,000 and could not sell it. I still have the car and it has been repainted and new interior, and all new suspension. The Vette is a numbers matching car with tank sticker, owners history, and original owners manual.

Nice little piece of history there. I am guessing $19k would see a buyer come your way now.

Wow, I actually remember that cover and car! Cool you have that issue, and even better you still have the Vette!
