1968 Corvette History Search - Need Help!!!
Hello,
I’ve been a member for a short while but don’t post often. I am hoping to find the original owners of my car or any history of it’s past. The car was originally sold at Robert DeNooyer Chevrolet in Holland, Michigan in 1968. It’s an L-79 convertible, and was LeMans Blue (976) exterior with a dark blue (411) vinyl interior. The car was owned by two people in the same Michigan family from 1968 to 2005 when restored and sold. When restored it was painted Magnetic Red (C5 color) and the interior was changed to black vinyl. The VIN is 194678S421554. I believe it was sold in 2005 from a close suburb of Detroit, to a gentleman that lived in Montana at the time and was in the military (and bought the car for a ranking promotion gift to self).
Thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to assist. I am hoping to jog someone’s memory, and open to any suggestions or tips.
