This is the first picture I saw of the 1969 Corvette that became my car! I had been looking for a 'vette for sometime and had looked at a lot of junkers. When I saw the pictures and talked to the previous owner, I took a gamble and drove up to Colorado Springs Colorado to take a look at the car. I took a buddy and we made a road trip out of it, just in case I decided to buy the car, I drug a 20 foot dual axel trailer behind my Chevy pickup.
While the car wasn't perfect, it was the best steel bumper car I had looked at. I decided to buy it. Two days later I was back in South Texas, tooling around in my new to me ride. Although the car looked good, and I had a ton of documentation on the car, it really was in pretty rough shape
Just about every system on the car showed wear, but it was still all in all a very solid car. So far I have done a lot of work to the car to get it back into reliable driving shape. Rebuilt Quadrajet Carburator, New Plug wires, New Coil, Pertronix Ignition, New Distributor Cap and Rotor. K&N Air Filter, New Radiator Hoses, New Heater Core and hoses, New Heater Blower, New starter the list seems to go on forever.
