Looking for my 69 Corvette
 
3 Attachment(s)
Like it says, I would like to find my old 1969 daytona yellow 427 4 speed convertible with sidepipes.
Here are a couple youtubes from the last guy I knew who owned it.

and a video of video of the last time it visited me.

It was a #'s 390 HP car to which I added a pretty hefty cam, tri-power, and merlin heads. looks like it still had the Spartan USA-1 tires I put on it 20 years ago.
Hoping it might look or sound familiar to someone around Ohio? or you might have it in your garage?
I sold it in 2003, it traded hands a few times since then. Last I knew it went to a corvette dealer in Ohio. I lost track of it about 5 years ago. I recently found an old ad via VIN search on traderonline, but it was listed as SOLD...and not sure how old the add is :
The add has now been removed, but the CARSONLINE ad Appeared as follows:

Thanks, it looks close, but it doesn't appear to have the gill insert trim.
Much like this one, mine had manual brakes,mine also had manual steering.(although can't confirm this one from their photos)

----Your twin has power steering. I can see the lack of an upper adjustment bracket. As well, the attachment point on the alternator is not facing upward. With PS that nub is down lower on the outside and reached by a bracket from underneath. PS could have been added, I suppose....Bill S
