Re: 1969 Phase 3 GT Corvette
 

Hey Rick,

Great to hear from you. Not much going on down here. way behind on working on my cars. Too many pressing problems to get to them yet. Fire in my kitchen, and renovating my rent houses and now the city on my ass, not to mention the ole lady is recovering from surgery. It just never seems to stop.

One of these days I will get some extra time for me.....

hope everything is going good for you.

Re: 1969 Phase 3 GT Corvette
 

Okay, at the risk of sounding like a broken record I am going to ask about a particular Phase III GT that I noticed on the cover of my Feb. 2005 Corvette Fever magazine. A gold Phase III GT that I believe went through the BJ auction not too long ago.
This car could be the one that I saw in the Motion showroom as a kid. If anyone is familiar with the history of this car, would you happen to know if the Shelby side scoops were added later in the cars life or were they there right from the start?
The car I am talking about has all of the cues that I recall; gold paint (could have been referred to as "Pearl yellow" back then), smaller tail light slots (not quite as large as others I have seen)remove the red "427" badges from the tail panel and you'd have the car I remember as a kid.
I don't know why I am so obsessed with finding the car I saw as a kid; maybe it is just that the car made such an impression on me as a car loving 8 year old.

If anyone knows the car that I speak of and it's history I would appreciate it if you could confirm the history of the Shelby side scoops and if the red "427" badges were added later as well.

I believe it was that way from the start.. It was on the cover of Speed and Supercar mag I believe in 1969. Not sure what issue this is. I don't have the actual magazine.

Yes, that would be the car. Seeing the previous reply stating that the car had the Shelby scoops from the very start I guess I can rule out this car as being the one that I remember seeing.
I can't believe it's so hard to find even a picture of that car; maybe I was dreaming. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
