ushered in a new era America's sports car, introducing the C3 body

previous owner acquired it as a barn find with around 50,000
original miles. Afterwards, he brought this '68 back to its former
glory with a no expense spared Nut and Bolt, Frame-Off Restoration!
The restoration took 3 years and during the process, the body was
completely stripped down and the frame was media blasted and powder
coated. This Corvette was then refinished and reupholstered in it's
Rare Factory Correct Exterior and Interior Colors! The seating was
also upgraded to leather upholstery during the process! After the
restoration was completed in 2020, the previous owner and his wife
would take this '68 out to car shows, cruise-ins, and to lunch or
dinner on beautiful days. Take a look at this C3's sweeping body
