Before I begin, I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at 1-517-990-2646 with any questions or concerns. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster has undergone a complete restoration. The chassis remained virtually unchanged in this, the first third-generation model, but the body and interior for 1968 were completely new, based on the Mako Shark show car. But it wasn't called a Mako Shark as expected or a Sting Ray as in 1963 through 1967. Wheel width increased to seven inches. This was the first Corvette without side vent windows and the last (until 1997) with an ignition switch on the instrument panel. To tidy up the engine bay and improve weight distribution, the battery was moved to a compartment behind the seats. A light monitoring system used fiber optics to display exterior lamp function on the instrument panel. Optional automatic transmissions were 3-speed Hydromatics, replacing Corvette's earlier 2-speed Powerglide units. 28,566 of the 1968 models were sold, a new record. Chevrolet dealer and Corvette driver Don Yenko won the SCCA Class A Divisional Championship. This car is very nice inside, out, and underneath. It was fully restored and just finished late in 2010 with hardly any miles put on and has never been shown or available for sale. Basically everything on the car is either new or restored. All the chrome is very nice. The paint color is International Blue with Black top and Black standard interior, the color combo is stunning. The car has a high quality paint job on it and is straight down the sides. No rust issues with this car. The drive train is fresh also. The car was restored to look original under the hood. I was told this was a original big block car. It has 427/390hp decals but is actually has been upgraded to a fresh 1966 396ci and with the 4-speed manual transmission making it very drivable. Basically everything is NEW or restored. New red line tires with and has been mounted on Rally wheels. Exhaust is 69 style Chrome side pipes and sounds great. Like everything else, the interior is very nice. It has the ever-popular black interior. The car has its factory gauges with a 6500 red line tach, corvette aftermarket am/fm/cass radio in the dash, with custom kick panel speakers and sounds great. Dash pad, door panels, carpet, headliner, sun visors, steering wheel, etc, etc everything is in great condition.
