        For Sale!! – 69 Corvette Roaster (Laurie Swinghammer)

        69 Corvette roadster will be for sale soon. This is an interesting California Corvette that is very original and has the Protecto Plate and the original checks to purchase car.  Car was purchased from the original owner in 1997. I would prefer to sell the car to someone who appreciates Corvettes.

        Car has never been in an accident. The body is in perfect original condition. When purchased it had the original paint. Has been repainted.  Interior redone with carpets and seat covers.  Engine rebuilt but a bore was not required. Rebuilt to reseal. 350/300. Q jet carb. Transmission is rebuilt 4 speed. New brake calipers and proportional valve this spring. Rotors and pads are like new. New red line tires, re-chromed.

        No price has been set. If interested, contact Laurie Swinghammer by phone (613-6324249) or by email at ballastcar@gmail.com.

        Looking forward to seeing the corvettes out on the road!
