Vehicle Description
A recent arrival to our showroom, this 1968 Corvette Coupe is a
great running and driving example of the first year of the C3. 327
V8, Turbo 400 automatic Trans. Both engine and trans are believed
original and were both professionally rebuilt less than 4k miles
ago. All paperwork included. At the time of the rebuilds, the
universal joints, rear spindles, leaf spring, ball joints, tie rod
ends, stainless steel brake lines, radiator, clutch fan, mufflers,
and rear end (3:08 Posi) were also rebuilt or replaced as well.
Well maintained by the previous owner, this car made the 70 mile
journey to us with no troubles, and starts up with no excuses when
cold. Nice clean interior, shiny chrome, excellent tires, driver
quality paint that still shows well. T-Tops. Ready for touring now
with no issue, or take to the next level with little effort.
Reasonable offers considered. We can help with financing and
shipping, just ask. Thank you! After some delays due to teething
troubles, Larry Shinoda's radical Mako Shark concept became the new
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for 1968, also known as the Corvette
C3. Significantly revised from the linear C2 with its knife-edge
beltline, the new model featured a T-top option for the coupe and a
tunnel rear window, which was removable. The front sloped steeply
with pop-up headlights, and fenders were sharply crowned, creating
the impression that the car was lower. The new model rode on the
same wheelbase, but was seven inches longer and had a Kamm tail.
Other changes included moving the battery behind the seats, the
disappearance of vent windows, wipers hidden under a vacuum powered
panel, and a double-acting door mechanism with a push button and an
opening lever, only fitted to this year.
