If your looking for 1969 Corvette with red paint, black interior, big block, 4 speed, runs good, stops good and drives good, "this may be the car for you".
75 pictures below, just scroll down to see them all. In my pictures and all others things melt togather. Cars are never as perfect as pictures show. I took close up details to help you, but you should come look at any car you buy. This is a real good looking car, but its not a new car. Read my details and I'll tell you some good and some bad.
WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THIS CAR? I think its a good car, I think it looks great, I think it runs good, I think its not a perfect show queen to haul to the show in a trailer, I consider it a upper end driver. I think its priced very good and it would be real hard to find one as good for the price. I think you should come to Athens, Tennessee and look at the car.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE CAR? I bought the car from a old man that lives just north of me near Knoxville, Tennessee. He bought the car out of Georgia to enjoy in his retirement.He had a hard time getting in the car and had bad a bad knee and could not drive the car. I ran the NICB check that most states run, it tells if a car VIN is flagged for being stolen or wreched, the VIN is clean. The old man told me the car was stolen when almost new and the original 427 taken out, it now has a 454 and a reisigned VIN. I have a good Tennessee title with the a VIN that matches the plate on the car.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE CAR? The biggest thing we did was fix the headlights that did not turn over,new wiper motorand polish the car.
HOW IS THE PAINT? The red paint shines very nice, I see no big cracks, the body is fiber glass so I see no dents, no dings and no rust. We did go over the paint with a good polish/cleaner, so it looks fresh. I would rate it 7 & 1/2 out of 10. By that I mean it good, just not perfect. The doors close good, the hood fits OK for fiber glass, the headlight doors fit decent. the drivers headlight door is up a little on the front outer edge, I tried to adjust it and the adjustment is to the limit. The paint looks super nice outside, inside under bright flourescent lights I see some specs under the luggage rack.
