Fully restored in 2006 with a body-off-frame approach, this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible features a vibrant red exterior that perfectly complements its classic lines. The iconic 427-style hood adds muscle to the front end, while the white vinyl convertible top creates a bold contrast against the rich paintwork. Flip-up headlamps function exactly as designed, a one-year-only feature for 1968 models. The 15-inch wheels wrapped in 215/70R15 tires give this Corvette a planted look while maintaining period-correct appearance. The restoration maintained all the exterior details that make C3 Corvettes instantly recognizable.
The black vinyl bucket seats offer excellent support inside this Corvette's all-black interior environment. Power windows move up and down smoothly, while the factory-style center console houses the floor-mounted shifter. The properly working wiper system, another 1968-only feature, adds to the authenticity of this classic. For modern comfort, the air conditioning blows cold, perfect for top-down summer drives. An AM/FM cassette player with AUX input allows for media connection, while the power antenna extends and retracts on command.
A Jasper Motors 350ci V8 engine rated at 350 horsepower sits within the engine bay, having traveled less than 2,500 miles since installation. The TH400 3-speed automatic transmission shifts cleanly through the gears, while the 3.08 Posi-traction rear end puts power to the ground effectively. Four-wheel power disc brakes with stainless-lined calipers using DOT 5 brake fluid supply stopping capability. Power steering makes maneuvering this Corvette effortless, while the dual exhaust system with factory replacement mufflers produces a sound that matches the car's performance capabilities.
