Thanks mike, not bad for 42 years old huh. Makes you wonder what new cars of today will last the test of time and drive like a new car 42 years later. They are only original once.

Yes, I live in southern NJ just off the NJ TPK. I bought this from a fellow who had the best of the best Survivor cars, mainly 67 C2's but he had this one shark in his collection. He is still downsizing his collection I would guess due to the economy etc. Now Kevin Mckay of NY had done some work on my car beacause it truely did sit in a garage( barn) for over 30 years and when brought out, needed help to get running right again. I will show this locally at corvette meets only because the corvette people will know what the are looking at. Its not a frame off car like most people are use to seeing, its 42 years untouched and if your restoring one, this is the car to look at to see whats what. Maybe I will take it to a few local NCRS Flight meets but the ultimate goal is to get it benchmarked at Bloomington.

Thanks everyone. I thought the fourm guys would like this one. Its been in hibernation for to many years. I dropped the storage compartment down where you would put the rear glass if you took it out and found the original T-Top bags in NOS condition along with the T-top hold down straps tied together never touched. I think the best thing I found there was a 1976 bicentennial flag that was made for the antenna in a parade. This is the 2nd owner that done this but he was hard to talk to due the fact he had 2 brain tumor operations. When diagonsed for the first operation, the family did not think he would make it and started selling things he owned. Well the good news is he is still alive and remembers the car. Sad story but great person.

Now if for some reason I decided to sell this car, what do you fellows feel its worth in your honest opinion and what kind of market is there for these ultimate survivor cars?

I was researching part numbers for the MA6 option and came across a link to your post. I have a 1969 Corvette L71 also with the MA6 option. My VIN # is 738401, I think it's about 361 units away from the end of production. Interesting note: paint code is also 983. The car was purchased from a dealer in Florida by a retiring fighter pilot serving in Vietnam. He wanted an L88 but was told that being so close to the end of the 1969 production year, the highest HP engine available was the L71. I am the second owner of my car purchased in 1974.
