**** THIS VEHICLE WILL BE OFFERED FOR AUCTION AT THE
BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE CLASSIC & COLLECTOR CAR AUCTION - MARCH
20 - MARCH 27, 2021 **** For 1968 the Corvette sported a completely
redesigned body and interior. The results were a sleek, curvaceous
body that was an instant hit. Typical for Corvette, the aggressive
body work covered the potent engine underneath. The thundering
power-plant of this 1968 Corvette Convertible is the legendary L71
427 cubic-inch big block with the ultra-rare L89 option that added
aluminum cylinder heads. Only 624 L89 Corvettes were ever produced
making this one of the most sought after C3s' made. Mated to the
close-ratio 4-speed manual and posi-traction rear axle this
Corvette is all about performance. It's hard not to stare at the
striking Lemans Blue paint or equally stunning bright blue interior
- all in exceptional condition. A rare soft-top-delete roadster,
the Corvette Convertible is equipped with a removeable auxiliary
hard top. This is one of those cars you must see in person to fully
appreciate. From top to bottom, this Corvette coupe has every
detail carefully worked out and performs just as good as it looks.
The chassis, suspension, braking, and drivetrain systems have all
passed an intensive and thorough inspection by one of our trained
restoration specialists, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy
driving this powerful and beautiful car. A plethora of historical
documents will be included with the car including the original Tank
Sticker, original Protect-O-Plate Warranty Booklet, original
Owner's Manual, original Retail Instalment Contract, copy of the
original Car Invoice as well as a multitude of ownership and
service records! Here is your chance to own a piece of big-block
Corvette history that is ready for show or go. As any C3 collector
will tell you - documentation is paramount when looking to buy any
car purporting to be a 427 from factory. Don't let this documented
factory L89 Corvette pass you by! Stock Number: HC1555 VIN:
