Vehicle Description
There's not much better in the world then being behind the wheel of
a big block 'Vette. But a complete restoration to everything from
the bold red paint to the 420+ hp 427 V8 makes this 1968 Chevrolet
Corvette a true dream machine that's available today at a
gone-tomorrow price.
Red Corvettes are so iconic that they write songs about them. And
this car truly knows how to inspire a tune. That's because there
has been an investment in the 1968-correct Rally Red to give this
classic color a modern shine. That means sunlight rolls off the
shark-like nose and tall fenders so evenly that you can't help but
attract attention. Even the details received all the right
attention - the doors shut with confidence; the big block hood has
the proper 427 callouts; the body gaps that appear quite even; and
the headlight door fit flush. Trim and chrome look good, including
the optional luggage rack, and it pairs up well with the clean,
15-inch rally wheels. So the total package is certainly a Stingray
that will stand out from the crowd.
Inside, the correct saddle tan interior looks great against the red
paint. You can instantly tell by the condition of the bucket seats,
door panels, carpeting, and dash that there has been a nice
investment in keeping this looking its best. Corvettes have always
been a great personal sports car by providing a nice mix of
performance features and plenty of creature comforts, and this one
does it right. You get a three-spoke steering wheel that gives you
a commanding view of the large dual pod gauges for the speedo and
tach. Just to the side are a full set of auxiliary readouts for all
your vital info. Plus, accessories like the AM/FM stereo and clock
were rebuilt to look correct while still being useful. But we know
your favorite part of this coupe will be lowering the power
windows, taking out the T-tops, and removing the rear window so you
can hear the big block road while enjoying the backroads.
Tilt the hood forward to reveal year-correct 427 cubic inch V8.
This big block was part of the full restoration, and so it's ready
to be shown off with the polished valve covers, distributor shield,
and the air grabber that boldly proclaims its power superiority.
And when you look beyond the shine, you will see the substance of a
rebuilt V8 that has been upgraded and fortified. This includes a
bored .30 kit, a rebuilt JET Performance four-barrel carburetor,
and a host of new parts, including timing chain, gaskets, camshaft,
lifters, pistons, and so much more. But Corvette fans should take
note, because this Stingray was highly original before restoration,
many of the original components come with the sale, too. This
creates that perfect balance where you get a big V8 that fires-up
easily and delivers reliable performance (dynoed at 423hp!) and at
the same time, you get to continue its factory history. So it's a
classic you can enjoy. And this is only heightened by great anytime
driving features like the fully independent sports suspension,
power steering, rebuilt TH400 three-speed automatic, and four-wheel
disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, restoration photos, factory
buildsheet, and many other original docs - this one has great
paperwork, but really, it's stellar presentation and rumbling V8
already sold you. But you're not the only one who wants to sing a
tune with this red Corvette. So don't miss out, call today!
