Vehicle Description
A 427 CID big block with a 4-speed manual pushes this Corvette
right to the top of your list! The year is 1968, Beatles' "Sgt
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" wins Grammy Award for Album of
the Year, the first rock LP to do so. And this cool British Racing
Green 427 Corvette rolls into showrooms for sale. With this green
beauty rolling on Red Line rubber she is sure to turn heads
anywhere you go. The third generation Corvette, patterned after the
Mako Shark II concept car, was introduced for the 1968 model year
and was in production until 1982. C3 coupes featured the first use
of T-top removable roof panels. It introduced monikers that were
later revived, such as LT-1, ZR-1, Z07 and Collector Edition. In
1978, the Corvette's 25th anniversary was celebrated with a
two-tone Silver Anniversary Edition and an Indy Pace Car replica
edition of the C3. This was also the first time that a Corvette was
used as a Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500. Engines and chassis
components were mostly carried over from the C2, but the body and
interior were new. The 350 CID engine replaced the old 327 CID as
the base engine in 1969, but power remained at 300 HP 1969 was the
only year for a C3 to optionally offer either a factory installed
side exhaust or normal rear exit with chrome tips. To view the car
