Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Corvette L36 Car History 1968 is the first year for
the very popular C3 Corvette platform that ran through 1982. Some
of the most iconic Corvettes of all time are C3�€�s, especially the
427 big block Corvettes. We have a very nice original 1968
Chevrolet Corvette here at Skyway Classics that has a 427 cubic
inch engine rated at 390 horsepower that has been rebuilt, M-21
4-speed transmission, mostly original interior, and paint, and a
good black convertible top. We also found the Tank Sticker and
original Bill Of Sales, and other paperwork on this original owner
car we found in Ohio! Features 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L36 Original

sitting in the original but restored engine compartment and has a
great sounding dual exhaust system and a M21 4-speed transmission,
this Corvette steers and stops like a sports car should. These
Corvettes are smooth riding and put the power to the ground with an
inverse leaf spring independent rear suspension. The 68 model has
vacuum operated flip up headlights and a vacuum operated windshield
wiper cowl. Interior Our Corvette has an original but great stock
Medium Blue twin bucket seat interior, with the matching new blue
carpet, center console, and original blue factory dash with its
gages and factory tach, matching blue door panels, and blue seat
belts. The original Delco radio resides above the console as well
as the stock gauge package with the Fiber Optic lights above the
4-speed chrome factory shifter and you will notice the factory wood
steering wheel too. Exterior The exterior is the original #976AA
Lemans Blue which also matches the Build Sheet to show it is the
original color it was born with. That shade of blue is really
pleasant and looks good with the chrome accents, bumpers, and
Chevrolet Rallye Wheels with BF Goodrich Radial TA raised white
letter tires that provide a classic and clean look. The curves on
C3 Corvettes are famously loved and the working flip up headlights
add to the sports car appeal as well as the dual chrome exhaust
