This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Tri-Power showcases the first year
of the C3 generation with its distinctive thumb door handles. Le
Mans Blue paint coats the curvaceous body, accentuating every
muscular line. The aggressive big block hood announces the
powerhouse beneath. Chrome bumpers front and rear contrast
brilliantly against the metallic finish. T-tops offer open-air
freedom with coupe-like rigidity. Riding on 15" silver painted
steel wheels with beauty rings and center caps, this Corvette
sports BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires sized 225/70R15 on all four
corners. The removable rear window, a C3 hallmark, adds versatility
to this American icon.
The cockpit wraps around the driver in true Corvette fashion.
Medium blue vinyl covers the bucket seats, door panels, and dash,
creating a cohesive, period-correct interior. A tilt steering
column topped with the stock wood-rimmed wheel gives optimal
control. The floor-mounted shifter and factory center console
emphasize performance DNA. Original gauges populate the dash, while
the factory AM/FM radio provides the soundtrack. Power windows add
convenience to this muscle machine. A partial chrome roll cage
bolsters safety without compromising the removable rear window
functionality.
The 427 cubic inch V8 engine dominates the bay. Triple two-barrel
carburetors crown this big block, delivering raw power and visual
impact. Long tube headers feed into a Dynomax dual exhaust,
producing a thunderous V8 roar. A Muncie 4-speed manual
transmission harnesses the power, while the Corvette's signature
independent rear suspension puts it to the pavement. Wilwood disc
brakes at all four corners provide strong stopping power. Power
steering ensures easy maneuverability despite the big block's mass.
An aluminum intake manifold, MSD ignition system, and an oversized
Griffin aluminum radiator round out the performance upgrades.
