You are viewing my 1968 custom corvette convertible. If you are looking for a one of a kind custom. I have so much into this car I am not sure where to start. I bought this car in 1987 and was a good solid car. The previous owner did most of the bodywork. Was going for the Mako Shark look. Lots of pics so please look it over. List of body mods:Body:Front fender vents removed and later model single vent added.Headlights filled and moved to grilleRear Fender flaresRear body kit with spoiler and smooth rear fascia1968 Firebird Taillights (LED) addedPainted Chevy Fleet White in 1985 Engine out of a 70? Vette 350 built 30 over, tunnel ram huge cam etc.I drove it for a year or 2 like this with centerlines on it.In 1992 My first of 3 kids came along so I fogged the engine and my Vette went into the garage up on blocks :-(There is sat until 2012 when I decided it was time to dust it off. even though it was stored right, it was a long time and I now had the funds to do some upgrades so I upgraded the following with Brand new:New gas tank and linesNew Brakes (SS sleeved pistons and painted Ceramic Red) New rotors master cylinder and padsNew Chrome Water pump and pulleysNew Chrome alternator and new regulatorNew Chrome bowl kits on dual Holley 390 Choke less carbsNew Air Cleaner Completely went through the rear suspension:Rebuilt Rear endNew end capNew Composite one piece springNew Half shafts and bearingsNew Adjustable rear armsNew trailing arms Upgraded sway bar and bushingsNew u jointsNew rotors/ calipers emergency brake cables/hardwareNew front rotors (drilled) calipersNew brake linesTires and rims are off a low mile C4 Vette and Goodyear VR Gatorbacks have maybe 40% tread?Have new power steering assist cylinder and control valve not installed but included.New dual point tach drive distributor and coil Interior Upgrades:New CarpetSony CD head and 150W ampRear Mount custom speakersAlpine front speakers in kick panelNew CarpetNew ConsoleNew dash bezelPower window regulators from a 70 Vette and new window harness.New door hingesCustom seats out of a 2008 Z06 Corvette. Power/ heated leather black and red. (need to be bolted in)added bolster upgrade to seats for more support.New door fuzzies and internal bushings and rollersNew fuel gaugeNew quartz clock upgradeNew seatbeltsTilt and Telescopic steering column from a 69 Vette added and ignition switched over to column for security.Nice Soft top included.Body and paint is in general overall good condition since it has been in storage for most of the time but has a few nicks and scratches. I would rate it at a 6 out of 10. Not a show car finish but nice for a driver or?Also included is a Factory 1968 original hardtop. still original Red color car was with black interior (pictured). This goes with car and also needs paint. I added a later style L88 hood from Eklers that removes the windshield wiper door. cut for Tunnel Ram but not yet painted (pictured) Figured maybe new owner may want to change car paint scheme so left in grey gel-coat. If buyer wants it painted white, I can have this done for an additional 1,100. let me know after auction close. Just got it running and driving again. Loud and fast. if you are looking for a quiet boulevard cruiser this is not your car...
