'69 #s 435hp Day 2 Corvette, 14k Miles

[scuncio]

Doesn't get much sweeter than this combo. Unfortunately this one was repainted decades ago, in Imron no less, but other than that it's a very cool unrestored car.

I do like the way that car looks.

----Not a bad old 69, but what's up with both the missing PCV valve and hose, as well as the drivers side valve cover fitting and hose to the air cleaner? Oh, and someone got a bit heavy with the rattle can black under the hood....Bill S

Just leaving stuff like that open to atmosphere really bugs me.

The Imron paint isn't that big of a deal. It isn't the high end paint, but it IS more durable than lacquer. For a garaged car, probably a 50 year (or more) paint job.

Ditto on leaving the valve train wide open to the elements.....oversight for a quick photo or has it been that way for awhile? Who knows?

I find it very interesting…(but not as a buyer… ). W

For a split second my heart went yikes when I saw this Black ‘69 with slots on it.

Similar, but my ‘69 had a more customized look to it back in 1974.
Built by Dick Fernando in Gillespie, Illinois.

I loved this car …… wicked fast.

My old Black Vette thanks you 👍, wherever it is.

This car seemed to be the center of attention every time I took it out.
That was back in the 70’s.

Today, it’s all about factory Original Survivors for me.

BTW, I removed the Fuel Injection unit and replaced it with a carburetor and sold the car.
That FI and a mint Teak Wheel moved to California with me in ‘78.

Do you still have the wheel and fi unit?
