This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette coupe was first delivered to Village
Chevrolet of Wayzata, Minnesota It is powered by a 427ci V8 mated
to a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end and
equipped with removable roof panels, 15? Rally-style wheels,
Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, three two-barrel carburetors,
pop-up headlights, power steering, a telescoping steering column,
and a retro-style head unit. The body was refinished in metallic
orange and additional work included rebuilding the carburetors,
recoring the radiator, installing Hooker headers and Flowmaster
exhaust system, and replacing the clutch, bushings, weather
stripping, idler pulley, alternator, spark plugs, thermostat,
belts, valve cover gaskets, and water pump. This C3 Corvette is now
offered with an NCRS Shipping Data Report, service records, and a
California title.

The body was finished from the factory in Corvette Bronze Metallic
(992) and refinished , and re-chroming the rear bumper. Exterior
details include removable roof panels, retractable headlights,
chrome bumpers, dual side mirrors, side vents, and dual exhaust
outlets.
Rally-style 15? steel wheels wear bright trim rings with hubcaps
and are mounted with F70-15 Firestone redline tires. The car is
equipped with power steering and braking is handled by red-finished
Wilwood four-wheel discs.
The interior is equipped with bucket seats trimmed in black with a
color-coordinating dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment
includes power steering, hand-crank side windows, a heater and
defroster, and a retro-style head unit.
A woodgrain-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a telescopic column
and frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a
centrally-mounted analog clock and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit
odometer shows 72k miles and does not work. True mileage is
unknown.
The 427ci V8 features three Holley two-barrel carburetors. Work
under current ownership included rebuilding the carburetors,
recoring the radiator, installing Hooker exhaust headers and a
Flowmaster exhaust, and replacing the idler pulley, alternator,
spark plugs, thermostat, belts, valve cover gaskets, and water
pump. The headers were modified to accommodate the steering arm.
Component stamping and casting numbers are shown in the

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual
transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential. The
transmission was rebuilt and the clutch was replaced in 2024.
