I haven't found the #101 written anywhere yet but, here's what was under the tank.

The Corvette was purchased new by Mr. Robert G. Uhl. He owned Glen's Train Store in Akron, Ohio. He really loved this old girl and the plate makes sense to me now.

The &quot;N14&quot; was an identifier to the assembly line workers that the car was to be equipped with side-mounted exhaust.
Great well-preserved '69!
Thanks for sharing the images!

Talk about a small world, I was in Glen's train shop many times over the years with one of my lifelong friends and co worker. He lives for lionel trains. Glen was a real character too. I will ask my friend when Glen's closed up shop. That's neat.

Tim,

Original paint, top, glass, interior, wheels, trim rings, center caps, engine, transmission, differential, carburetor, alternator, radiator, etc. Even the headlight washer pump. Thanks but Robert Uhl deserves all of the credit, Ed

The order was received on 11/03 1968. On 69s, they do not give a date for expected date of production just the year hence the 8/00/00. The job #s were used in order up to 500 units then it reset. The last three # will match the vin on a car for 0 to 500 and be 500 off from 500 to 999, your being 101 and 601 vin. You may have the job # on the floor in the area of where the pedals are. You have a great car and I love the side exhaust options, congrats!
