HOW We Got this Car We ended up with this 1969 Rare Bird after We saw it in Newspaper Classified ad. I went to see the car it had 6,000 mile on it and was just 6 months old! At the time I did not know that this was a unique build the Factory Transitor ignition, M-22 4 speed and Dual Disc clutch were rare only 102 and 101 built. Only 1661 were built with Front and rear F-41 suspension that it has! |

The History With some research, we found some interesting info regarding this car. The SCCA rules at that time requireed 100 cars built with these race options, Group 7 Homologation. I met the Hand build guy that built the Engine at Tonawanda I was at a Car show in Clearwater Fl at a Steak and Lube,and this 75 or more year old guy comes up and says his grand son suggested he look at MY Vette, it was he thought special and his gramps might want to look at it! So he pulls out a handkerchief and wipes of block stamp and asks me if it still has double disc clutch! Turns out it was one of the Hand Builders for the SPHP engines the L-88 and all the L-71 that were Designated SPHP with MA-6 Dual Disc clutches mine was built 12/01/1969. He said built it, and used up the last Ma-6 Clutch pac in stock at Tonawanda plant Email Me! Links to Other Sites |
