Congrats now that’s a story!!!!
I had a feeling you were going to have a problem with that seller. Many of us have meet him (personality) before. Always ends badly and is a waste of time.

Fate has a way of working out. Since you were nice to Ms Sandra she showed you her collection and the rest is history. One door closes and another opens!!

Is it. L46???? Matching drive train?

Oh by the way. That cylindrical device on the passenger side of the engine and opposite of the alternator is your AIR ram pump!!! Nice to have.

...great story & the White '69 conv looks like the better car to have anyways!!! I think you did well. Sandra seems to know her Corvettes!!!


...you said you had a $1k deposit down on the other car & "he got mad and left". Hopefully you got your $1k deposit back and didn't have to leave it with him.
