Matching numbers 427 Big Block, 4 Speed manual, low mileage, Convertible 1968 Stingray. On Dec-23-12 at 02:59:46 PST, seller added the following information: This big block Stingray is the first year production C3 and is mechanically identical to the C2 that it replaced.Under the futuristic shark body of the third generation, the chassis was carried over from the second generation models, retaining the fully independent suspension (with minor revisions) and the four-wheel disc brake system. The engine line-up and horsepower ratings were also carried over from the previous year as were the 3 and 4-speed manual transmissions. Power output of the big block engines remained in the 400 hp zone. This model is the purest form of the C3 Stingray design due to the vacuum actuated pop-up windshield wiper, headlights, and the hard cover for the fold down roof. The Stingray up for sale here is a low mileage, matching numbers, 427 4 speed manual, convertible with a beautiful original color combination of metallic blue with metallic blue interior. The previous owner started restoring it in the '80 but stopped and the car was stored until I bought it 2 years ago hoping I'll get to finishing the restoration. The body has already been done and is in great shape, just needs paint. Most of the interior and trim are missing but original dash seats and steering are there. It comes with installed new soft top. It comes with boxes containing some original parts for the car (see photos). The brake system had just been renewed. The engine leeks oil from the valve covers and there is a little lifter noise - it has to be looked upon and sorted. But this Stingray starts right up, runs and drives in my back yard, and looks stunning. As you can see from photos - the frame is solid and clean.
