Hi, you are bidding on a 1969 Corvette Convertible resotration project with 136k miles.  This car has been in my family since 1984, but we need to sell to raise money for my mom.  Please browse all the pictures.  This could be one bad ride if you have the funds to give it it the TLC it needs.  The car does not have a tank sticker, and it is NOT a numbers matching car.  Here are the features of the car:

1.) New rebuilt 427 engine installed in 2007 (see receipt in pics).
2.) L88 hood and pretty sweet rear fender flares.
3.) Manual transmission (original).
4.) Undercarriage in decent shape, interior is not too bad but needs work.

The car runs and drives and will absolutely HAUL, but please read this auction thoroughly as there are some quirky things you need to be aware of.

1.) The VIN tag is missing.  We have the title with the VIN, but you will have to apply for a lost tag.
2.) The gas tank had to be removed and a temporary tank was rigged up behind the seat.
3.) The standard C3 Corvette rear end has been replaced with a straight-axle camaro rear end.  It actually drives and handles better with this rear end as opposed to the C3 rear-end with the 4 U-joints.  But obviously this is not original so wanted to point it out--see photos.
4.) The hood is not attached to the car, it is broken off the latches.
5.) We do not seem to have the rear bumper.
6.) We put a new battery on it and started up and it drained the battery, so the alternator may be bad.

Other than that, shoot me any questions you have and I will answer as soon as I can.

Car runs and drives but is not really road worthy, registration and instpection are not current, temporary gas tank only holds about 4 gallons, etc.  You will need a trailer to pick it up.

On Nov-03-09 at 10:26:00 PST, seller added the following information:

FORGOT TO MENTION:  EVEN THOUGH THIS AUCTION IS OVER ON NOVEMBER 7TH, DUE TO SCHEDULED TRAVEL THE CAR CANNOT BE PICKED UP PRIOR TO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH

On Nov-04-09 at 07:36:52 PST, seller added the following information:

All, here are the codes from the car:

VIN - 194679S703579 - Manufactured at the St. Louis plant.
Date Code - C03 - October '68.
Trim Code - Z04 - Black
Paint Code - 984 - Daytona Yellow (you can see some of the original yellow in some of the pics).

Hope this helps, thanks.
