1968 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE
This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible went through a lengthy
restoration and was recently completed. Powered by a new 427ci
crate bowtie engine paired with a Hurst 4sp manual Muncie Rock
crusher transmission and completely rebuilt posi traction rear with
3:73 gear ratio. A Holley Quick Fuel 750 carb sits atop the engine
with a factory L88 air cleaner. Exterior is beautifully finished in
blue with a white soft top and that classic L88 hood.
The Corvettes restoration was meticulously done to retain the
original exterior and interior of the 1968 Corvette. Powder coating
was done on many suspension parts. Features include pop-up
headlights, chrome bumpers, twin front grilles, fender vents,
quadruple taillights, luggage rack and dual exhaust outlets.
Brightwork is all in excellent condition. A polished set of headers
and Magnaflow dual exhaust gives this classic its healthy
rumble.
Silver-painted 15? Rally wheels feature chrome hubcaps and trim
rings and are mounted with BFGoodrich TA Radial tires.
Power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes
The bucket seats are upholstered in blue vinyl and fitted with lap
belts, and the carpets and door sills were replaced. The
wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a
tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, while instrumentation found in
the center stack includes an analog clock along with displays for
fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperage.
Amenities include an AM/FM radio, cabin heater and installation of
a Hurst shifter. The restoration was very high quality, and the car
looks stunning and drives just as good. The result is a C3 Corvette
that feels almost new again. Here is an opportunity to own a
classic Corvette that won't break the bank. Contact LRA Auto today
