Seen this Car Before?
I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack, I seen this car on ebay once and was wondering if anyone has any info about it. I love this color and would like to know the color combo they used.

Corvette Mike New England in Plymouth, Mass. has a car identical to that one currently for sale. The color in 69 is called Burgundy. The car here in Mass is a 435 horse tri-power with a correct motor, but a replacement block. It was reduced in price recently from $59,000 to $49,000. The interior color is black. The car is on the Corvette Mike New England website. The one in Mass has redlines for tires.

First Trade Registry is probably the broker and the car is probably in Ft Lauderdale. Something in my memory has been stimulated. 
He uses that model with a number of cars. She seems to be getting healthier as the years go by.....

That "model" has been around for a long time; used in most or all of his corvette ads over the years. Florida location. I agree that she is healthier than in previous years.

To the OP and others, here is a link to the website. The car in question is in his album, if you scroll down. with many more pictures. It is entirely possible the car was sold to Corvette Mike, who put redlines on it. Ya never know. You can also literally see how the model has improved her health from some of the earlier ads.
