No Reserve auction. 1968 Corvette Coupe. Original big block car with a 1968 L-89 aluminum head, tri power, 435HP 427 motor. Original big block car, however, I have to assume the motor is not the factory engine because the partial vin on the pad is not legible. The sufix on the engine pad is IU. The block casting number is 3916321. The casting number on the heads is 3919842. I believe the 4 speed transmission is original to the car (with partial vin) as is the rear end. The car runs and drives, it needs paint, detail and general (light) restoration. The frame is solid, the body is nice and straight, the only body work needed is the drivers door where the fiberglass has come un-laminated, it still opens and closes fine. The car was originally green but was painted red many years ago. The rims are 8" wide and sounds like the right side wheel rubs when turning a corner, I did not investigate this to be sure that's what is causing the noise. Overall a great candidate for restoration or good driver/street car with new paint and detail. Big Block Corvettes are proven to be one of the best automotive investments ever. This car has brute power and is an animal to drive. Personal inspection is welcome and encouraged. No reserve, so bid to win. Please look at the pictures and ask questions.On Mar-30-14 at 05:02:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been inundated with questions about this car. Please call me @ 413 204-6179 if you have any lengthy questions or would like to talk in person. I will try to post a video link of the car running and driving and a walk around showing more of the car in the next day or two, if the weather cooperates.

Also, I have more photos of the engine pad, casting numbers etc. but I cannot add them to the listing. The car has the 4 core radiator, front and read sway bars (front is 15/16"), original big block hood and the rear shafts have Caps, not u-bolts, all indications of a real big block car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kro1FzlKKPc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYyk3_h6dSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ3MV-h9nRQ
