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.
