Vehicle Description
With its strong numbers-matching big block V8 and awesome
blue-on-blue factory style, this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L68
Convertible nails its appeal in the fundamentals alone. And so when
you see there has been a solid investment in keeping everything
looking sharp and giving you the features you want (like A/C), it
soon becomes very clean just how awesome this total package really
is.
The code 976 LeMans Blue is the factory-correct color. You'll say
that race-inspired name with a little smile on your face, because
you know this is a powerful big block machine. But more than just
the right name, the color benefits from a more modern respray. So
it has a beautiful luster that just loves to radiate in the
sunshine. And as you keep digging into this drop-top Corvette,
you'll realize it really was built for sunny day cruising. The
panels have the fit of good care and investment right down to the
smooth headlight flaps and the doors you can shut with authority.
So this really has the look of quality. Plus, it has all the
details you'll love, like the big block hood, shining shark-like
nose, two-piece rear bumper, and classic redline tires that hide a
more modern tread.
The convertible top has a quality fit, and bright white against the
radiating blue is like the crest of a tropical ocean wave. But as
appealing at this is, the car looks even better with the top down.
The factory-correct bright blue interior harmonizes with the
exterior color for a European-like level of sophistication. Of
course, part of the reason why this impresses so much is because
there was a proper restoration investment getting it looking this
good. Bucket seats, a thin/grippy steering wheel, and full gauges
make a great driver's environment. There are nice details on the
classic features, like the soft padding on the center armrest and
the working fiber optics. Plus, there are well-integrated upgrades.
The retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with aux input means the best
in driving music. And top-down fun is always better when you also
have cold-bowing R134a air conditioning.
This is the numbers-matching L68 block. That's originally a
Tri-Power motor, and it puts this car in exclusive company with
less than 2k version made in the C3's inaugural year. It has all
the right pieces you love, like a bold block in a tidy engine bay,
bright valve covers with the Tonawanda decal, and a performance
Winters intake. It is currently topped with a Rochester Quadrajet
four-barrel carburetor. That's part of a strong-running package for
more everyday appeal. It's the kind of setup where you can really
drive all day (the consignor drove over two hours to our showroom
without a second thought.) The big block V8 is connected to the
stout and smooth number-matching TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission. Power steering, the fully independent suspension, and
four-wheel power disc brakes finish off this all-round good driving
package.
This is the big block classic that has stunning style, great
features, desirable history, and all the right investments. The
only thing missing in this complete package is you. Call
