Hi all - new member from Texas, just purchased my first vette, a late 1969 L71 from a gentleman in California. Original Le Mans blue paint with standard black interior. No ps, pb or air. 4.11 rear end with factory side exhaust. Not many options, who needs em’. My dream. Glad to join the club.

Thank you - my dad had a 66’ 427-390 with side pipes growing up in the late 80’s (it used to make me cry when he started it at about age 4) and I knew I needed one. Great cars.

i do - it was actually owned by a gentleman in California for the last 10 years who purchased it from Kai Spande via Kevin Mackay - Kai is the current Corvette plant manager - it is the car referenced in the article attached. He found it from a guy in Chicago where it had sat in a garage for many years - he bought it in 2001 I believe. Kai pulled the tank sticker.
