Subscribe and follow along as I get this original, un-restored 1969 Corvette "Time Capsule" running again and back on the road! It's been is the same garage for a 17 years. How did I find this cool Vette? I called Dave C. He's got 60's-70's Muscle cars and had a "Lead" on this Corvette that the owner "Mike" was selling his. I then called Mike and made a deal!
Thanks Dave C. for the Lead!
Thanks Mike for selling me your treasure of 50+ Years!

    My first vette was a 69 big block 427-390 hp 4 speed when I was 22 years old....what fun! Now 6 vettes later I'm restomoding my 1981 with fuel injection, serpentine belt system, borgeson steering, aluminum heads, headers and side pipes, complete brake upgrade and more....You cannot go wrong with any of the C3 especially an original find like yours!!

    Hello, im going thru same process on a 69, 427, 390hp, Muncie 4spd, sportwagon vette, Almost to the point of it running but made a bad mistake that set it back weeks for me, not giving up thou, it will get there, Can't wait to see the series on this one.

    Great job FHT, can't wait to see more. I have a 64 chevy I have to do the same things to. Been setting about 22 years. It's time to get it back on the road too!

    That 69 Fathom green was originally an L-46 judging by the 6000 rpm tach!!! very rare car with that beautiful green interior
  • @milkovivaldi
    Hi friend, I'll do one too! Does this C3 go from 68 to 72? I don't like the rear end from 73 or 74 onwards...

    A CORVETTE? Terry, are you going through a mid-life crisis? Or am I seeing a side of your personality I’ve never seen before? You’ll have to put a stove bolt straight six in that vette to redeem yourself! 😳😆😆 Personally the ‘69 Vette has been one of my favorites since I was in the 5th grade when my school teacher drove a yellow with a white top one to school each day! Best wishes on the new project!
