New 69

Just wanted to say hi, first day on the C3 forum. Been on and currently still am on the C5 forum. Will be picking up my 1969 Coupe 350 PS/PB/PW/AC/AT tomorrow and thought I'd share a pic. Also came with a factory cowl induction hood and a box of extras.

Hi 907,
Nice looking 69 in those pictures.
It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts as you get to know it.
GOOD LUCK!

Change the mirrors, they are wrong, and 69's didn't have a cowl induction hood.............or maybe what you are calling cowl-induction

L-88s did.

Looks like a nice 69. I like her without the fender scripts.

No unfortunetly it is 350/300 and the original color which it is going back to is Daytona Yellow. Someone did a terrible paint job years ago and it's lifting/bubbling all over. I'm going to strip it down to the glass this winter and repaint.
