1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Finished in eye-catching LeMans Blue with matching blue interior
• 327ci V8 engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission
• Power steering, power disc brakes, and Vintage Air A/C
• Chrome sidepipes, 18" rally-style wheels, and a killer exhaust sound!
• Retro-modern stereo with upgraded rear speaker pod
• A driver-focused classic with show-stopping curb appeal!
BODY OVERVIEW:
The long, low, and unmistakable silhouette of the early C3 Corvette is iconic, and this example captures that presence with style. The body is straight, well-aligned, and presents just the way a properly appointed classic should—bold, aggressive, and timeless. Chrome sidepipes add muscle car swagger and auditory satisfaction, while the 18” rally-style wheels are just the cherry on top!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
LeMans Blue is the star of the show here. The finish looks fantastic in the sunlight and will turn heads wherever you go. While not a fresh out of the booth respray, it shows beautifully with only minor imperfections from regular use. It’s a car you won’t be afraid to drive or show off—no trailer required.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The matching blue vinyl interior is both vibrant and nostalgic, and pairs beautifully with the lustrous blue exterior. The black cloth convertible top complements the color scheme nicely and provides a cleaner, more modern appearance than the factory vinyl top. A retro-modern stereo system and upgraded speaker pod blend classic looks with modern sound, making this cockpit a great place to enjoy any cruise! A tasteful aftermarket steering wheel has been added to flow with the retro-modern theme.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
This '68 packs a 327 V8 backed by a 4-speed manual transmission for that proper Corvette experience. A driver’s car for sure! Enhancements like MSD ignition coil, Accel plug wires, headers, and chrome sidepipes bring a little more show, and a little more go. Power steering and power disc brakes make it comfortable to drive, and Vintage Air A/C keeps things cool when the top is up. The car runs strong and sounds fantastic!
WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
