Looking for the original engine block or paperwork for a 1969 Corvette vin 02326. The car is a burgundy coupe, original L71, possibly an L89 car. Most recently in Iowa and Wisconsin in 2004 before that. Delivered new at Celozzi-Ettleson in Elmhurst Illinois. PM me if you have any details on the car.

The title of the thread just cut off the last digit, that's what I think happened, that's all.

Good luck!

I took a look for Old Celozzi-Ettleson Newspaper Ads but little ‘69 era also most for used cars.
C-E must’ve given away tons of Coffee Mugs as 01/70 Ad as there’s lots on eBay today…

Man, I remember "Hard to find, tough to beat" slogan all the time on TV!!

"Where you always save more money".
So many visits there growing up,as Dad bought three family cars from them,and then I bought a multitude of parts as a I got my license.
We grew up less than 5 miles away from it during the 1960's-70's-80's-90's.
And looking at all the cars on the lot as we went to pick up our weekly Pizza @County Inn pizza on Roosevelt Rd.just east off of 294 in Elmhurst,which sadly just recently closed.

Thanks for the pictures everyone, super cool. Traced the car back to another owner, Larry who owned the car in 1996 and lived in Franklin Wisconsin. I am going to keep digging.

So I found a past owner from 1977, his name is Glenn. He bought the car out of Lamont, Illinois, and the car was in primer. The seller agreed to paint the car as part of the deal, and Glenn wanted it yellow. Here is a picture of the car back in 1977. Perhaps someone will recognize the picture or the people in it.
