Default Local '69: before and after

Well, there is a '69 in town. Actually, I think it belongs to my next door neighbor's brother.
Anyway, It has been sitting outside for a while (warm weather).
I took a couple before and after pictures while driving home from dropping my kids at school.

Before:



After:



I might need to take up a collection to help save this shark.
Think we can scrape up enough to buy a small tarp ?

:seeya

:eek: Is it a '69 or a '68? I don't see the "Stingray" emblem on the side. Either way, why is he leaving it outside?!? :eek:

Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!! Someone quick, bring spring to NH!!!

No way I would do that to my corvette. That is the reason for me selling my 96. I just didn't have room for it in my garage anymore. I was just not going to let it set outside. My truck, now that is another story all together. Never been inside yet.

Is this a trick?? :crazy: I see the the "before" but all I see is 2 wheels & tires. Where I come from they usually steal the wheels and leave the car. Not steal the car and leave the wheels. :jester :jester

Maybe it's that NEW window tinting that is "color keyed" to match the car. :eek: :D :D :lol:

Looks like it hasn't moved in a while. Maybe it's for sale and he doesn't know it yet! You might get it for a good price. :chevy

How long between pictures, an hour or two?
We got it rather quickly here in CT.

Nope ... He has had it tucked away all winter. It just came back out of storage
when the last warm spell swept the area. I'm not sure where he stores it, but
it must be a pain to put it back away.

I'll have to get friendly with the owner ... maybe someday it WILL be mine.

Tony - thanks for the extra few inches. We were supposed to get 14" - but ripped off with only 8" or so. The kids were pissed ... had to go to school.

Jon - You sold the 69. Bummer. I'll trade you this white 69 for your 65. :lol:

Drew - a couple days. Yeah we got it good for a few hours, but it has been snowing every day since. This was not from this mornings storm.

LotaHP - I think he works for the military ... testing a new comouflage technique.
