scored another Vett
found a 69 ,L 68 427 tripower all numbers matching original no extra BS gofastmobile, Heavy duty brakes only extra option , needs some minor work , drive train great,plus a paint job, original Bozo went from black to blue,jeez! Would post pics but I am a pic posting bozo myself. Anyway it was on craigslist. ( pays to check the cheap seats)
The owner said it was one of two cars built black with saddle interior , how do you verify that?
my others:
62 conv
69 coupe 427 390 hp
1990 ZR1
1994 coupe stock
1994 coupe 383 stroker plus all kinds of mods
1996 coupe stock
HAPPY MOTORING!

Congrats! What I do know is that there were 2,072 L68's built in 1969. I don't know the quantity that were built in "Tuxedo Black" which was the color that year. They did come with Saddle interior, but my Corvette Black Book doesn't say how many. 2,956 total of the 38,762 built in 69 had saddle interior.
Nice score!

Congrats on the new Vette. 
I for one could not imagine even for minute having more than one Vette. My plate is full fixing, tuning waxing whatever just one Vette and some of you guys have 2,3 or more I don't know where you find time to drive them let alone maintain them.
I can see if you are buying and selling to make some money but just owning more than one would kill me
Then again I have the one Vette of my dreams so maybe that helps

turns out I was the first caller, he sent me data and pictures and I sent a deposit , I know I was taking a chance but the original cars( we won't consider the piant) are really getting hard to find. he said later subsequent callers pestered the hell out of him about it and offered more but a deal is a deal!
