| Car history: | |||||
| My father-in-law purchased the 1969 Corvette from a State Farm auction in 1970. He has owned it ever since. After purchasing it, he rebuilt the front end and used it as a daily driver thru 1977. Around 1977 it was in another accident and then rebuilt. After this second rebuild, it then sat for 6 years until it was tuned up and used as an occasional driver between 1984 and 1988. It then sat again for 7 years. In 1995, we rebuilt the engine, installed a new carb, replaced most of the suspension components, and replaced much of the interior. We then drove it occasionally until 2002. From 2002 until 2013 it was rarely driven and spent most of the time in storage. In the fall of 2013, we replaced the leaky fuel tank (picture shown), tuned the carb, and changed out all of the fluids to make sure it runs properly. Our intention was to restore it professionally with D&M Corvette in Downers Grove, IL. Unfortunately, the price tag for a complete frame off restoration got too pricey for our budget. So, we have decided to sell the car instead. I believe we have posted enough pictures to show the condition of the car. The body obviously needs much work. The engine and powertrain run fine, however, you are not going to open the hood at a local car show. The underside has the typical surface rust. The original frame was repaired after the first accident. The car can be a really fun driver without much work or it can turn into a numbers matching show car if someone is willing to devote a labor of love to restore it. Since this car has been in the family since 1970, we can answer many of your questions. When we replaced the fuel tank recently, we looked for the build sheet. Unfortunately, my father-in-law must have removed it during the first restoration. The following is a list of items we replaced during the 1995 restoration: Rebuilt front suspension, Replaced power steering components, Replaced rear end pinion seal, Replaced rear spring and sway bar, Replace both strut rods and adjusting cams, Replaced transmission rear seal and drive shaft yolk, Replaced rear shocks, Replaced entire brake system except for the brake lines that run thru the chassis, Recovered both seats and installed new carpets, Replaced emergency brake console, Installed non-stock cam and after-market carburetor, although we still have the original carburetor. We do have a new radio for the car but never installed it. The car will have to be picked up locally. Car has been outside for a good while. $15,200 and running. May 10, 2014. |
