I would want a lot more info from the seller before I would consider anything. My concern is the '81 front clip. Usualy the main reason for changing the front clip is that the car took a hard hit in the front. They then just pull the front frame rails stright, then put on whatever clip is available cheap.

Looks like he just lowered the reserve to $3750.

You would have to ask yourself if you want a partial 69 or would want to put it back with the original nose and chrome bumper (and how much would it cost).

82-83 Corvette engine? There were no 83's so I'm not sure what's in there.

Seats aren't correct, nor is the trim around the windows. depends on what you want to do with it. :steering:

no VIN either. I'd think that it is not a 69. perhaps a 79 typo?

Looks like it might be a '69 rear end, but you'll never get your money out of restoration! If you're looking for cheap fun, MAYBE! But not as an investment in a '69!!!

tom's absolutely correct. I remember this car last month it timed out and there was some issue of salvage title or something. Be weary!
