Car history:
Father/son refurbishment project. Son bought motorcycle and lost interest in the Corvette. I have too many cars to keep this one. Car is complete with exception of radio which he was to select and install. Virtually everything is new or rebuilt. Color is 1972 Targa Blue with new Black Leather interior. Slotted mags with new BFG Radial TA tires. I have used it as a summer cruise car for two years and it is fun and reliable. codes are K24, Trim 421 (saddle leather) and Paint 988 (cordovan maroon)...seats were so far gone when we got the car I couldn't tell they had been leather, paint was faded worn and chalky from storage...son selected colors and trim for the rework from Corvette color chips. Not a restoration, but a refurbishment... 1969 Corvette T-Top Coupe – purchased Dec 2000 Marysville, Ohio. Not numbers matching. My son and I bought this car as a father/son refurbishment project. He purchased a motorcycle and lost interest in the car about the time it was finished. That is why it is for sale.
