I found my '69 tank sticker intact and legible in 2004. The car was parked for 18 years. I have no problem believing the tank sticker was intact at all.

Cool car!

90% done still need to put the original steering wheel and some small trim pieces on. I plan on putting the car up for sale at Bloomington Gold. I only live 30 minutes away.

How much will you be asking for your 69 ?

ssl,

Great work so far! I am sure many on CF would appreciate some really detailed pics of this unique 69 at your earliest opportunity.

I will take some pictures as soon as possible. This is probably one of the rarest 69 Corvettes built being red/blue an export car and a three speed to boot. I do know there is a difference between rare and desirable so the question will be is it a desirable car, that being said i am not really sure what its worth but I am going to price it around 23k. The car with a couple of white stripes would be perfect for somebody into grand sports. I guess only time will tell.

At best, you know it's one of 252 with the base 3 speed.

I just bought my 68 convertible a little over two years ago and it spent most of it's life down in the south . The tank sticker was still on the tank and still readable. I carefully removed it , made a copy of the original and carefully laminated the original to stop any future deteriation .
