Back in December 2017 I inquired about buying a Silver / Silver Gray Leather, 1969 L-89 / TH400 Factory Side Pipe Coupe project from a Kevin Kavanaugh out of New Hampshire.

At the time he was also selling a 1965 Big Tank Fuel Coupe and stated which ever one sells first, he was going to keep the other. Well guess what happened, he sold the 1965 Big Tank Fuel Coupe. I always wonder what became of the 1969 L-89 TH400 Coupe. Would have been (1) VERY Beautiful and Rare Corvette when done the right way, and the Colors. WOW! That was then, and this is now as they say. Bill

Bill, the C3 registry shows it under restoration and owned by Kevin. It shows Kevin purchased it in 2015. I guess he's working on it.

That is awesome news. I'm going to call him. After all the combinations of Corvettes I have come across since June 1985 when I started my Business and hobby of showing and restoring Corvettes, this 1969 L-89 Coupe has always stuck in my head since I first saw it when I had my NCRS Top Flight 1969 Riverside Gold L-89 4-speed Coupe. It's got to be one of a hand full ever built in that color and option combination. What a Neat Car! But that's my opinion. Bill
