Hello I purchased a 1969 427/390 horse 4 speed convertible corvette in early 1974. I did the typical hot rodding of my car with engine mods until I destroyed the original motor. After replacing the motor I had a small accident and replaced the front clip with a Ecklers tilt nose and flares to the rear. I eventually sold the car to my Dad and brother. My brother disassembled the car for restoration where it sat for 30+ years in a garage. I recently gained possession of the car. I am in the process of cataloging extra parts and how to undertake the reassembly process. I will be listing the extra parts for sale here to help fund the process. I am not sure of the value of the parts so please if I am out of line with the prices kindly let me know. There is a lot of knowledge on this forum so I am sure i will be asking a lot of questions. Thanks for allowing me to participate in this group!
Tom

Welcome to the forum, Tom, and congratulations on having your '69 back!
I enjoyed the history of the Vette going from you to your dad and brother and now back to you. Cool that it's been in your family for over four decades!
Saw your parts postings in the C3 section which is the best place to list these items.
Good luck with the sales and with your rebuild.
