Rusty’s 1969 Corvette and Corvette Powered Boat

Upon graduating from medical school in 1969, I purchased my first car: a 1969 Monza Red Corvette Stingray at Baher Chevrolet in Northridge, CA. ($5927.50). This was a unique car because it had the RPO L36 427cu, 390 hp engine paired to the Turbo Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission (80% of Corvettes that year had a manual transmission). The car did not come with the factory side exhaust option (a one-year-only option) but I added the side exhausts after acquiring the car. I sold the car in 1974 and have never seen an identical car for sale.

In the late 1960s, my father and I built a ski boat in our garage. We bought a 427cu/390hp crate Corvette engine and installed it in the boat. This was one helluva fast ride!gorgeous.

Some Random Thoughts

I’m at that awkward stage between Christmas and New Year’s where I have no idea what day it is, but I’m still eating cookies for breakfast.

The gifts are unwrapped, the decorations are drooping, and my credit card is hiding under the couch in fear.

After Christmas, it’s all about pretending the leftover ham and chocolate are part of a well-balanced diet.
