I know it's probably not a desireable rarity but curious to see how many are around. I ran across a 69 vert with original 6 banger 3 on the tree and can't remember ever seeing another. Owner says maybe 400 or less in 69. Thanx.

Yep! Mine was. I'll be getting rid of it shortly to switch to a t56. Those little 6 bangers never die do they?

Mine also. It's a plain jane '69 with a 210hp 327. It also has the shoulderbelts and folding rear seat. This one will also get a t56....

For some reason, many copos have this set-up. Chevy was building sleepers before the rest of us.

I have one of those things sitting waiting to get more work done (69, 6 cyl, 3 on the tree.); getting the urge to sell it and upgrade my vette to a z06 though!

my car was originally a 6 cyl, 3 on the tree
still have the 6 and 3, but it was converted to a floor shifter at some point in its life

I just sold a 69 camaro with a 6cyl/3 on the tree. Great little "driver"
