My bother found it (he has a '69 convertible). It has 26000 miles in near perfect condition.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase.

I had difficulty viewing the pictures, can you post so that we don't need to sign into drop box?

Good luck with your Corvette.

Welcome to the forum & congrats on your 3LT coupe. Looks real good.

For pic posting help just click Forums up on the left. And then Help on the bottom. First one up is what they call a Sticky.
