69 GTS 383

What a cool car! What is the back story?
Purchased from ad in Hemings July ‘87. Drove it from Houston TX to New York. 100% OEM bone dry sheet metal. Collected 90% of trim parts with NOS items. Stripped it to a rolling shell and had it painted in 2001. Kids became priority with sports and coaching and the car sat in my garage. Sent the numbers motor out for a rebuild spring ‘21 (391 hp on the dyno with headers). This was my retirement project to reassemble. Wife got a promotion and transfer to Florida fall ‘21 and I couldn’t move It in pieces. Found a competent shop in NY to put it together. That was a life saver as we had such a short window to escape NY. Looking forward to year round use!
