Vehicle Description
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!
