It's an automotive arms race!!!

[pauldun170]

I wouldn't get the Camaro because of something and I wouldn't get the Mustang because chinese gearbox go "crunch crunch"

[Avatard]

Couldn't wait to finish restoring the other ones, wanted one to drive now.

51,500 original miles. 350/350 L46 4 speed. Original everything.

My personalizations will be minor, and completely reversible.

I've put a 14" leather wrapped stock-look replacement steering wheel on it, to remove the boat-like qualities while looking almost stock, and it's getting some white letter T/As in 255/60/15 rear, 235/60/15 front on the original wheels for just a hint of stagger. The 215/70 Redlines just don't do it for me. Look too "old man".

I slipped a T cushion on top the parking brake (typical C3 comfort item), and I'm done.

I have achieved my childhood dream car...but let's face it; she's the prom queen. You also wanna date her crazy sister, right? Let's be honest.

So, as for the other '69 'Vettes still in the driveway...see, I have the small block one with the flares...and that was gonna get the tunnel ram, but then there's this low compression late model 4 bolt main big block 454 truck motor I now have in the garage, hanging on my crane...that came with the other one...and suddenly I'm thinking that a 6-71 GMC, and some aluminum heads would be awesome on that 454 bottom end...

Now THAT would make one crazy sister.

Nice Avy, love the late 60s beasts

[KSGregman]

Wicked nice!

Need some snaps of the motor and interior!

[Avatard]

All stock, all original, everything works (yes, even the clock).

[KSGregman]

LOVE it!!!!

Hehehe...the fun you could have with that car.

[Dave]

Pretty clean

[Avatard]

The best part? Not one single computer in the car. None. Not one.

I could not be happier about that.

42 year old original paint has touch-ups, fading, and patina. I wouldn't touch it.

Big props... Vettes of that era are some of the best looking cars ever built.
