Description:
This is a very nice 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible in International Blue with Black interior, White top and is equipped with a 427 cubic inch, 390hp engine with a 4 speed transmission.
I have the original tank sticker that indicates this is a true big block 427 car built in September of 1967.
The build sheet also indicates that came from the factory with the following options:
8STDTM - Black Trim
02L36AA - 390hp Turbo-Jet
02G81HA - Positraction Axle Ratio 3.36:1
02M20AA - 4 Speed Transmission M20
02C05BA -Convertible Top White
02U69EA - AM/FM Radio
02102AA - Tinted Windshield
02J50CA - Power Brakes
02N11AA - Special Off-Road Exhaust
02N40AK - Power Steering.
The the engine is strong and tight with no issues. This car has power steering, power brakes and am/fm radio & is a top notch driver and a great weekend show car. I have owned this car for over 12 years and it has always been kept in my heated and dehumidified garage.I averaged only 350 miles per year since purchased.
The Hagerty Collector Car Insurance Company has an inspected agreed value for this car at $45,000.00 and this is what we have it insured for.
There has been a full detail inside and out every year, and we changed the oil (synthetic/w zinc) 2 times every year as well. I have part and service receipts that go all the way back to 1975. I always purchased NOS parts whenever possible. The engine was rebuilt with 47,400 miles on the odometer.
All fluids have been changed and this car is ready to drive! Again, this is a very solid car that pulls very hard and runs great. I have entered the car in (3) C3 Corvette “Shark” shows and it has won best in class all three times, although to be honest, I am not sure what the judges look for.
Misc. Information:
Correct dated (close ratio) transmission and most casting numbers are period correct but but the engine block was decked when the engine was rebuilt.
Newer Exhaust system.
Sean Murphy rebuilt carburetor (no leaks).
Calipers with Stainless steel sleeves
Optima Battery
Everything works perfectly as it should (door buzzer, fiber optic indicator, lap belt warning switch, headlights, except the wiper switch (I could care less since I have never driven the car in the rain) and the auxiliary wiper bypass switch works like it should if needed.
Clock works when it wants to, I didn’t want to change it.
Newer tires (less than 500 miles on them)
Most of the interior is original. I was instructed not to change anything on it by Joe Seputis of Vetteran Automotive who did most of the work on this car.
Several spare parts will come with the car if needed including NOS sill plates, original radiator. carburetor, bulbs, fasteners, NOS ignition wires still in box, etc...
I welcome all inspections - this car is in great condition and can be driven to its new home.
There are way too many things to list regarding time & money spent on this car from the chrome wheel rings to the refurbished transmission & center console plate so please contact me if you have any questions.
