What a great looking Vette. Congrats! That's one of my target car's. A 69 Monaco Orange 427 Vette with side pipes and Fender louvers. Back in 87 I was in the process of buying a 69 Daytona Yellow coupe 427/390 4 speed with Cragar Mags with really low miles for $15K in Worcester Ma. area and the owner backed out of the deal after I said I'd buy it. I wonder where that car is today.

And the L46 was the only 1969 Corvette engine that could not be ordered with an automatic transmission.

In your free time switch the valve covers back to the correct side ( oil fill should be on the drivers side toward the rear ) Lets hear the story how you found it and where

Thanks for the tip.

Not that great of a story really. I called a friend about parts, and he told me that Streetside Classic cars asked him to go look at a 69 Vette that was not running and the older lady wanted to sale it. He went and looked at it and it had been sitting in a garage for over 20 years due to the husbands death years ago. Friend bought it got it running and asked me if I knew anyone that wanted an OG paint MO 69 Vette L46 with side pipes tank sticker OG drive train. I said well Dah maybe me! Went and looked at it and bought it. I have done a few things to it and still need to rebuild the smog pump and buy smog tubes. The car drives fantastic. PS PB is nice. The original seats are really comfortable too. When my buddy got the car PO had taken the side pipes off because his daughter burnt her leg. Under car pipes were on it when he got it. He put the side pipes on it, and painted the cheap covers. It needs better chrome covers on it. I have the original MC and brake booster, both need to be rebuilt. Smog is all original and dated to the car.
