Vehicle Description

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Timeless Color Combo: Finished in eye-catching LeMans Blue with a matching blue interior.
• Classic Muscle Combination: 327ci V8 engine mated to an engaging 4-speed manual transmission.

BODY OVERVIEW:
The long, low, and unmistakable silhouette of the first-year C3 convertible is iconic. The body lines are straight, and the panels align well, giving it the bold and aggressive profile that makes these cars timeless. Chrome sidepipes add muscle-car swagger and an incredible exhaust note, making a statement everywhere you go.

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The LeMans Blue presents beautifully from a distance and shines great out in the sun, making a fantastic first impression. While not a fresh out of the booth respray, it shows beautifully with only minor imperfections from regular use. Full transparency: There are notable paint defects on the passenger-side door (which do not show up well in photography) due to regular use.  This is a car that you won't be afraid to drive and will present beautifully at car shows.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The matching blue vinyl interior is both vibrant and nostalgic, pairing beautifully with the exterior. The black cloth convertible top complements the color scheme nicely and provides a clean, refined appearance. The retro-modern audio and upgraded steering wheel blend classic styling with modern comfort, making this cockpit a great place to clock miles.

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
This '68 packs a 327 V8 backed by a 4-speed manual transmission for that pure, mechanical Corvette experience. Enhancements like an MSD ignition coil, Accel plug wires, headers, and sidepipes give it a little extra show and go. The engine runs strong and the car sounds fantastic out on the road.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• Incredible Value: A classic 4-speed C3 convertible at a very accessible entry price. 
• Sensational Sound: The combination of the 327 V8 and the sidepipes produces an unmistakable rumble. 
• Ready-to-Drive Platform: Equipped with power steering and power disc brakes.


WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• Cosmetic Flaws: The paint on the passenger-side door has noticeable imperfections.
• Minor Electrical Sorting: The blower motor, wipers, and horn are currently inoperative, requiring some garage time to sort out. 
• Headlight Operation: The vacuum-operated headlight doors raise very slowly. 


DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?

• Basic electrical troubleshooting for the blower motor, wipers, and horn.
Tires: High tread, but date-coded 2018; replacement is recommended for long-distance highway cruising.

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This Corvette is perfect for the enthusiast who wants a bold C3 convertible but isn't looking for a trailer queen. It's for the buyer who wants the classic look and feel, loves the sound of sidepipes, and is willing to look past minor cosmetic and mechanical quirks to get a great deal.
