1968 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE 327 V-8, SAFARI YELLOW, FULLY LOADED, INCLUDING: FACTORY A/C, POWER WINDOWS, POWER STEERING, POWER DISC BRAKES, TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL, FULLY LOADED THIS IS A GREAT VETTE! I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A 79 YEAR OLD WOMAN IN SAN BERNARDINO CA WHO HAD IT STORED FOR OVER 18 YEARS AFTER HER HUSBAND FLOYD PASSED AWAY. HER HUSBAND FLOYD WAS A WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED CORVETTE MECHANIC. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, I WAS GIVEN AN ENVELOPE WHICH CONTAINED HAND WRITTEN NOTES FROM HER HUSBAND OF WHICH INCLUDED A LIST OF RECENT WORK THAT HAD BEEN COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. HIS NOTES STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES ON IT SINCE IT HAD BEEN REBUILT. ALL OF THE BUSHINGS HAD BEEN REPLACED AND APPEAR TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE. UPDATE: AS OF AUGUST 15TH 2010, I HAD THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY REBUILT & INSTALLED BRAND NEW 2 1/2" STAINLESS STEAL EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH MAGNAFLOW MUFFLERS AND NEW CHROME EXHUAST TIPS! THIS UPGRADE CERTAINLY INCREASED THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ENGINE AND IT SOUNDS AWESOME! HERE'S A LIST OF EVERYTHING ELSE I REPLACED AFTER BUYING THE CAR: BRAND NEW RADIAL TIRES (LESS THAN 425 MILES), NEW BRAKE CALIPERS & BRAKE PADS, BRAKE LINES, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, NEW WATER PUMP, HOSES, BELTS, VACUUM LINES, LOWER CONTROL POWER STEARING LINES, CAP ROTOR & PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, FILTERS, NEW 4 BBL CARBURETOR, NEW GAS TANK (I HAVE THE ORIGINAL OF WHICH IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE), ALL INTERNAL GAS TANK COMPONENTS, GAS TANK SENDING UNIT, DIAPHRAM, FUEL LINE, NEW WATER PUMP, RADIATOR WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED, SERVICED AND RE-INSTALLED, NEW THERMOSTAT, ALL FLUIDS, NEW BATTERY (60 MONTH WARRANTY), NEW IGNITION (HAVE ANOTHER BRAND NEW IGNITION STILL IN THE BOX), I'M SURE I FORGOT TO LIST EVERYTHING BUT I DO HAVE ALL RECIEPTS FOR EVERYTHING!!! YOU GET ALL DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE (RECEIPTS) AND ALL SPARE PARTS. DRIVABILITY: EXCELLENT! THE CAR HANDLES EXTREMELY WELL AND JUST AS IT SHOULD, TRACKING IS GREAT AND DRIVES STRAIGHT UPON EXCELLERATION & BRAKING. EXTERIOR BODY: TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND VIDEO'S TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. THE BODY HAS NO DAMAGE, THE PAINT IS REMARKABLE FOR HAVING BEEN STORED FOR 18 YEARS AS IT LOOKS ALMOST NEW! THERE IS ONE SMALL CHIP (SEE PICTURE) ALL OF THE CHROME IS PERFECT CONDITION (NO RUST OR DAMAGE). THE BLACK REMOVABLE HARDTOP IS IN GREAT SHAPE (ONE SMALL TEAR ON DRIVERS LEFT SIDE) AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE PICTURES ITS LESS THAN 1/2" LONG. THE HARDTOP DOES NEED A NEW HEADLINER AS IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE NOW. THE SOFTOP WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO IT BEING STORED FOR 18 YEARS. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL TEARS ON THE SOFTOP OF WHICH ARE SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. INTERIOR: THE INTERIOR IS THE SAME AS THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. EXCEPT FOR THE REMOVABLE (TEMPORARY) SEAT COVERS. BOTH INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE, THE CARPET LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL AND HAS A WEAR SPOT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE SEATS & SEAT BELT HARDWARE IS ALL THERE AND LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL, THE TOP DASH BOARD SKIN HAS NO TEARS OR FADING, THE CENTER CONSOLE SKIN HAS NO TEARS OR FADING, THE GAUGES ARE ALL THERE (CLOCK DOESN'T WORK) I HAVEN'T INVESTIGATED THAT, THE ODOMETER CURRENTLY READS 67,149. I'D HAVE TO IMAGINE THAT THE ODOMETER TURNED OVER. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD IS PERFECT (NO TEARS OR FADING) POWER WINDOWS WORK (PSGR WINDOW A LITTLE SLOW BUT WORKS, DRIVERS SIDE WORKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM).
