Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this rare NCRS top flight
1968 Chevrolet Corvette for your consideration. Finished in
Silverstone Silver with a Black interior and powered by its
original numbers matching 427 cubic inch 400hp engine, 4-speed
manual transmission, air conditioning, tinted glass, power
steering, power brakes complete with tank sticker. Paint is in
great condition, according to our vehicle intake inspection,
everything is working on this vehicle. Only 116 Corvettes were
built with the 427/400hp, 4 speed, A/C, power brakes and power
steering. Believed to be a three owner vehicle; the current owner
has had the vehicle for approximately 10 years. The mileage on the
odometer is believed to be original as substantiated by the
original owner's personal maintenance notes in the original owner's
manual. The vehicle received an NCRS top flight award in 2004 and
has only a few hundred miles since then. The overall score was
96.48% and the deficits noted on the judging sheets have been
corrected as noted in available documents. In September of 2018,
the vehicle completed a $21,000+ freshening which included an
overhaul or replacements of all major systems, key components and
appearance items (receipts available). This Vette has provenance
including tank sticker, owner's manual (with original owner's
manual notes), 2004 NCRS regional top flight certificate and
judging sheets, as well as receipts from the 2004 restoration and
complete documentation of the freshening completed in 2018.
The 2018 freshening was completed in September of 2018 at
Masterworks Corvette in Madison Heights, Michigan. Masterworks was
founded by Werner Meier, a General Motors engineer/manager who
spent 25+ years in the Corvette group. His work and dedication to
the hobby have earned him admittance in the Corvette Hall of Fame.
He is also an NCRS senior judge and group judge at the Concours
d'Elegance of America. Regarded as one of the best in the world at
Corvette judging and restoration, Werner has restored dozens of
notable Corvettes including cars built for Harley Earl, Bill
Mitchell and other legendary Corvette influencers. His restorations
have been put on display at the National Corvette Museum, Gilmore
Car Museum, Lingenfelter Collection and GM Heritage Center in
Bowling Green. Few people understand, or know how to restore
Corvettes as this man does.
