Default My new 69


after months of searching, and a year and a half without a corvette, I just brought home my newest project. Made a deal with an awesome guy in Missouri named Orville, on this 69 L36 roadster. All original drivetrain, no hit body, rock solid frame, tank sticker , still on the tank, if you can believe it. Runs and drives like new. So happy to be back in the game!

Looks like a great car. Does it need things? I mean it looks really nice from the picture.

That looks like a nice car that you finally found. After 1.5 years it must be worth the wait.

Default More pics









Here are some more pictures, ran all the numbers on the motor trans and diff yesterday , all correct as far as I can tell, I got a pic of the tank sheet as well. The car is a nice driver , but to be a top flight car it would need a full restoration. Just going to drive it for awhile and take it from there.

Very nice example of an early '69, good luck with it. Non-power brakes work well, just take a little more effort (especially when some jacka__ pulls out in front of you!)
