Default Pictures of the 69!

I got a digital camera for Christmas so I wanted to snap some pictures for you guys. Sorry about the quality but it doesnt run so I can't move it out of the garage! (Battery drain). I will get some better pics in the spring. Sorry about the sideways picture but I am not too computer literate!

looking good! If a battery drain is all that's keeping you in the garage, get yourself a battery cutoff switch and a battery charger (and perhaps a new battery). We can troubleshoot the source of the drain later! :) MJ

Looks like RPO PO2 wheel covers. Pretty rare!

For now just keep a 1/2" wrench by the battery and remove the pos cable when your done. I had a bad drain so I ripped out the 3 miles of Bubba's sterio install wiring and installed my sterio from scratch and walaaa no drain.

Yes those are the original wheel covers, as for other little rarities it has the speedo warning and factory a/c. As far as I can tell it seems like the battery drain is coming from a faulty interior light switch on the drivers door. Any idea on where exactly this problem is coming from?

I have heard from many others that a common source of battery drain is the interior light delay box which is located up inside the dash where the glove box would normally be.

Not sure if a vert would have this but if you have footwell lights, I suppose you might have this delay timer box.

Yes sideways storage will definitly let the electrons out of the battery. Mak sure to keep your vette right side up at all times.

Please don't store your new Vette on it's side in the garage. :jester

Looks great!
