We will start off with the exterior of this Corvette. We will start
off with the exterior of this Corvette. The body on it is one of
the best you will ever find. We have pictures of it from the
restoration and you can tell when it was stripped down that it's
clearly been cared for its entire life. They finished it out in
Base Coat Clear Coat Paint. It's done in the factory option of
Safari Yellow that beautifully showcases the quality work. It's
been buffed and polished out to stunning finish that's slick to the
touch. This '68 does have the factory hard top along with also
having the convertible top that's done in black. Up front we can
see everything is in excellent shape from the bumper to the grills.
Both headlights are working as they should along with the wipers.
All the glass in this '68 is excellent along with all the seals and
weather stripping. Out back the rear bumpers, tail lights, exhaust
tips and bezels are all gorgeous as well. This Corvette sports the
driver out side mirror along with having the lower body molding. To
finish off the stance, it's sitting on the Rally Wheels with Red
Line Tires, Center Caps, and Beauty Rings.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Convertible. On the
inside it's finished out in the factory standard black option that
provides the perfect compliment to the Safari Yellow. The bucket
seats are in great condition along with both door panels. This '68
has the power windows option that are working as they should and
have the controls mounted in the console. The console also houses a
four-speed manual shifter, factory gauges, and radio. All the
carpet is very nice in this Corvette as well. In the rear storage
area, we can see the weather stripping is good condoling and that
all the carpet and storage boxes is very nice as well. Looking at
the dash you'll notice that is in phenomenal condition and has
clearly been well cared for. All the gauges are working as they
should and are beautiful. This interior is a true time capsule.
Finally, we will get to the heartbeat of this Chevrolet. Under the
hood the same quality and eye for detail is evident. The power
comes from the matching numbers 427 425HP V8 engine that's set up
with the factory Three Deuce Intake with three 2 Barrel Carbs. It's
dressed out in the factory style air cleaner along with having
Chrome Valve Covers. This 427 has the Delco Remy Distributor along
with having the correct alternator and also has the smog pump. This
'68 has Power steering along with Power Brakes and Disc on all four
corners. For exhaust it has manifolds with dual pipes and mufflers
that flow out the back. Underneath this car is just as nice as they
installed new bushings and re did everything under the front end at
the time of the restoration. The Matching Numbers 427 runs through
the Matching Numbers Muncie Four Speed Transmission and original AU
Code Heavy Duty Posi Rear End with 3.36 Grears. On the highway this
Vette drives just as amazing and it looks. Don't miss your chance
to own this award winning Corvette!
