Going to the darkside a little...
 
Well I got a call from a very good family friend last week, he has a '69 Corvette that has been sitting in his garage for the past 10 years he wants me to have. His son is not really interested in it, and it needs a little work to get back on the road, so he wants to pass it on to me. Pretty excited about it, went yesterday to check it out and took a few pics. Has a sbc 400 that has been nicely built with dart heads, cam etc, has a nicely built th400 trans, interior is in really good shape save for the seats, it just needs a little tlc to the exterior. He took it to a guy to get the rear brakes fixed, the guy decided to drive it a few days before working on it, and the right rear caliper started to lock up, thus killing the caliper, rotor, bearings and i hope thats all. i have to put it back together so i can load it up, but hoping to bring it hope in a week or 2.

Here she in in her glory days.

Very cool Toby. That thing has some potential to be a really fun toy! A big nasty LSx like the one Sean had in his Monza would be sick!

All it needs is some chrome Cobra Rs and it's set.

Just kidding, congrats, nice car.

68-72 are some of my favorite years for the Corvette.

Very nice. One of my favorite cars.

I don't consider a classic vette the dark side. It's the badass side. Congrats, Toby!

Toby 01-14-2013 09:05 PM

thanks guys, I plan to just get it back solidly on the road for now. My focus right now is putting an ls1 in my truck. Then building a 408 for the mustang. But i do want to get the vette back on the road and slowly buy a few parts here and there.

Yesser, once I get it back on the road I plan to hit the dyno with it to make sure its tuned up right, then I'm sure ill show up to a few meets and such this summer in it. I'm a mustang guy at heart, but definately excited to dive into something different!
