GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette
for your consideration. This Corvette comes in a Blue exterior over
a Black interior. Powering this Chevy is its original, numbers
matching, 327ci V8, 300hp paired with a 3-speed automatic
transmission. This Corvette comes features power steering, power
brakes, front and rear disc brakes, proper dual chrome bumpers,
t-tops, recent paintwork, and newer Firestone Firehawk tires. This
vehicle has spent most of its life in North Carolina. These dual
chrome bumper cars stand out from the rest and will be forever
iconic. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with
shipping it to you anywhere in the United States! Don't hesitate to
give us a call with any questions or for more information.
For 1968, both the Corvette body and interior were completely
redesigned. As before, the car was available in either coupe or
convertible models, but the coupe was now a notchback fitted with a
near-vertical removable rear window and removable roof panels
(T-tops). A soft folding top was included with convertibles, while
an auxiliary hardtop with a glass rear window was offered at
additional cost. Included with coupes were hold-down straps and a
pair of vinyl bags to store the roof panels, and above the luggage
area was a rear window stowage tray. The enduring new body's
concealed headlights moved into position via a vacuum-operated
system rather than electrically as on the previous generation, and
the new hide-away windshield wipers utilized a problematic vacuum
door. The door handles were flush with the top of the doors with a
separate release button. Front fenders had functional engine
cooling vents. Side vent windows were eliminated from all models,
and replaced with "Astro Ventilation", a fresh air circulation
system. In the cabin, a large round speedometer and matching
tachometer were positioned in front of the driver. Auxiliary gauges
were clustered above the forward end of the console and included
oil pressure, water temperature, ammeter, fuel gauge, and an analog
clock. A fiber-optic system appeared on the console that monitored
exterior lights and there was no glove box. The battery was
relocated from the engine area to one of three compartments behind
the seats to improve weight distribution. New options included a
rear window defroster, anti-theft alarm system, bright metal wheel
covers, and an AM-FM Stereo radio. All cars ordered with a radio,
like the C2 cars, continued to be fitted with chrome-plated
ignition shielding covering the distributor to reduce
interference.
