I was the original owner of this 69 coupe It was the first "dealer built"
LT1 . I ordered the car from Clippinger Chevrolet in 1969, and about 2 weeks after ordering I was told that the LT1 wouldn't be available until
the 1970 model However, I could order the 350/350 engine and they would build it at the dealership into a LT1 by changing the cam, adding solid lifters and a bigger Holly. This was done and was covered by full factory warranty. Only one of two 69 Corvettes with LT1 engines documented.
I sold the car in 1979..it went through 4 other owners...and I bought the car back about 6 weeks ago. It's like driving a time machine

The below pics of my 69 are maybe 2 years old. The rear tires are now 255/60/15s instead of the 275/60/15s in these pics. Other than that and a few passes down the drag strip, nothing much has changed.

And before you say anything, I know that is not how the emblems are supposed to be. The guy working on it over heard me talking to my GF about wanting to repaint the badges since they were getting worn, and well, this was a nice suprise when I got the pics.

Melting Slicks
Hi ChaosPhoenixFix
I am running Speed Direct semi coil overs in front and longer bolts in back. Ride is firm but not harsh at all, Can adjust compression and rebound separately so you can smooth the ride well and choose any height you want. Great to get the vette sitting perfectly level.
All covered in great detail in my Build Thread.
