Because it's so low miles? If it has that, is it difficult/expensive to fix? Thanks, Doug

I lost out on that one... ended up committing to a '90 Z for under 23K. Good news is, it only has 16K miles and was owned by a bonafide collector (featured in Vette Vue magazine). So I paid a little more, but it's even nicer than the first one I looked at. I'm just not sure if I'm worthy of...

I decided not to go with this vehicle... trust me, I REALLY wanted a tripower convertible for 27K, but I'm not experienced enough or wealthy enough to rescue this one. I'll be regretting this for a while, but I'm sure my family thanks me. Needing food to eat and all.

It was car # 2889, so it was in the first run (September of '68). Doug

Good catch... the guy's had it for 20 years, so it almost doesn't make sense that it would be a scam. Any chance some '69's had '68 motors?

Yes I have... there's a red 90 for sale. I spoke with the owner, who seems to have taken good care of it. He's autocrossed it though, which concerns me. I'd imagine racing would take its toll on the vehicle.

Well, apparently it was a good deal, it was sold out from under me while I was arranging an inspection later that afternoon. Bummer:mad

Yeah, no kidding... a '68 motor in a '69. Who woulda thunk it. Although I thought I read somewhere that because '69 was such a long running model year, the earlier models had '68 parts. I have no idea how I'd confirm such a thing, though, and I don't know if it applied to engines. It's a...

KOPBET, Thanks a lot... your link answered my question. It's T0517IO T - Tonawanda 0517 May 17 build IO - 427/400 with the Turbo 400 tranny. So far, so good. Thanks again! Doug

Sure, he actually sent me 3 shots... I'm going to guess that he doesn't make his living through photography.

I checked both the technical specs page and did a keyword search, but didn't find an answer to this question, so here goes... I'm interested in a '69 427/400, but it's out of state so I have to (for now) rely on the seller reading #'s of the block to me. He read the following numbers to me...

Many thanks for the warm welcome here! My search for a classic continues...

Thanks, I've got my fingers crossed that it passes inspection. Doug

Black/black, which I like. Although ask me again when summer gets here! The car looks pretty good... definitely not "mint," but the running gear seemed pretty good. I'm going to have Gary from Corvette City in Denver check it out to make sure there are no surprises. The driver's bolster had...

I'm looking forward to the CruiseFest... just hope I have something to drive in it. Pressure's on!

Hi Bill, I'm located near Briargate in the North end... been here about 6 years. Man this town has grown! Doug

Thanks for the link... from what I've seen of the cars listed for sale on that site, it's a pretty competitive price. I guess because the car's relatively high mileage (73,XXX)... I'm not looking for a trailer car, though, I plan on putting my own miles on it.

Hello all, I'm looking to become a Corvette owner yet again. I've had a couple of C3 coupes in the past (a silver '81 and a black '75). I'd like to either get something older (68, 69) or newer (ZR-1). It seems like Colorado Springs has quite a few corvettes in the area, so I'm hoping I get...

Sorry, I should start by introducing myself. I've owned a '75 L82 and an '81 in the past, but have been Corvette-less for about 10 years. I'm interested in getting back into the group. My intention was to buy an older C3, but recently saw an ad for a '90 ZR-1 that was listed at about...
