For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

With its strong numbers-matching big block V8, numbers-matching four-speed, and attractive red-on-red factory style, this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L36 Convertible nails its appeal in the fundamentals alone. And so when you see there has been a history of solid investments and care, it soon becomes very clear just how awesome this total package really is.

The code 976 Rally Red is the factory-correct color. You'll say that sporty 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 quality respray in 2013. We have a long history proving proper respect over the decades, and so the paint continues to look better than some lesser cars that were painted this year. 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 fit of the doors. So this 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 bright rally wheels.

The convertible top has a quality fit, and bright white against the radiating red has the all-American appeal of a Coca-Cola sign. But as attractive as this is, the car looks even better with the top down. The factory-correct red 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 that there was a proper restoration investment getting it looking this good. And there are nice details everywhere - from the telescopic steering column to the Delco AM/FM radio. Bucket seats, a thin/grippy steering wheel, and full gauges make a great driver's environment. And you just know your right hand will never want to leave the Hurst shifter.

Under the hood is a tidy and correct presentation of the numbers-matching L36 block. 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. It's a strong-running package, and you get to take firm control with the numbers-matching Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. The fully-independent suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes finish off this all-round good driving package.

The sale comes complete with title documentation, reproduction window stickers, maintenance records, and detailed history. This is the big block classic that has been given the right care and the right investments. The only thing missing in this complete package is you. Call now!
