Nice 69, low mile vette.
You don't find many like that.

I bought a stolen and stripped 74 coupe a few years ago from an ins co.
Came as 350/L48 auto (but no motor),

When I was done 3 years later it had every nut and bolt new, 468 roller motor w 4 speed super T 10, 4" unmuffeled, Jet coated hooker side pipes, full road race suspension, and yellow driver paint.

I sold it and then my '88 600hp, SCCA Road race vette got sold last Thanksgiving.
I put some of the money into my Superboat.

I had to bring this back to Vettes.
