1969 Big Block C3 was a BFGoodrich Poster Car
By Brett Foote

We all grew up with car posters on our wall, but one guy actually grew up and bought his poster dream car.

I think the headlights are overdone, but I dig the LeMans style fuel filler, and the color is perfect. Great story!

I'm with you, could live without the headlights but WoW it is a Beauty (and it brings back a funny memory for me)...
Fast Story, Back in HS I was already a 24/7 car crazy guy that did all my own wrenching. Somewhere @ 1977 my Shop Teacher asked me if I wanted to do a clutch & exhaust on his 1969 427 4 Speed Vette, AHHHH YAAAAA I DO !!! (I just wanted to beat the **** out if it) LOL...

He let me take it home from School Fri and I brought it back in Mon Morn, I think I originally told him $150.00 + parts, but wow was that one PITA project :o()
Two of DS Exhaust Manifold Bolts Studs Snapped off, the top Bell Housing bolts were a nightmare to get back in, and the exhaust was rusted so bad it was saws all to the rescue. I ended up calling him Sat and telling him I needed more money and he was fine with it, I think I asked for another hundred.

Of course the real reason I did it was I got to beat the **** out of it that Sat night and all day Sunday. I was pretty impressed with it and at that time it was pretty impressive. It's a great memory of me biting off more than I can chew, LOL ...

Awesome memory! I think all of us have had a job we walked into the garage thinking one thing and wound up working on something well into the night lol.
