Default 1969 roadster

Hello All,
I am a member in the C2 group. I have a 65 roadster. I am looking for a riverside gold 69 350/350 4spd roadster that was purchased in or around 1972 in west orange nj. This was my father’s car and what got me crazily obsessed with corvettes as a 3 year old. When he left for work in the morning my mother held me by the window and he would flip the lights for me. My earliest memory.

im sorry i dont have any info I will see if my father has old registration with vin etc but as of now im flying blind.

Thank you!

If. You can find a registration with the VIN on it you can search to corvette registry to see if anyone has entered it since your dad owned it. Good luck with your search

I know this might be a stretch, but I bought a 69 convertible 4spd WITH a black vinyl hardtop from someone in that area around 1975 or so. the OEM radio didn't function but other than that it was a solid vehicle. I sold it to a used car dealer in Elizabeth, n.j. around 1978. I don't have any of the information on it either, but I'm pretty sure when I sold it it went to the local auto auction from the dealer. I know that's not a lot of help, but if you think it might have been the car I bought from your dad, at least you have a little more of the past history.
