Thank you and good luck. ***** UP FOR AUCTION IS A SHARP LOOKING 1968 CORVETTE COUPE WITH MATCHING NUMBERS 327CI/300HP MOTOR AND 55K ACTUAL MILES IN HOT RALLY RED! VERY SHARP CRUISER THAT WILL BE A LOT OF FUN FOR COLLECTOR OR ENTHUSIAST. Factory Options: 1) Power steering 2) Power Disc brakes 3) Dual exhaust 4) Standard bucket seat interior 5) MATCHING NUMBERS 327 CI V8 motor 6) TH-400 automatic transmission 7) 15" Rally wheels with radial tires 8) Power windows 9) T-tops 10) Pop-out rear window 11) air conditioning (parts missing) The car comes from PA., where it has been collector owned and maintained. Purchased from the 3nd owner I believe, who basically has had the car since the early 1980s and kept it in a barn for over 20 years. It resurfaced only 2-3 years ago and has been gone through mechanically to be put back on the road, and boy does this car RUN! All the gas was replaced, lines cleaned, fluids were all replaced, new battery, coil, plugs/wires, all the calipers were replaced, etc etc. It is the correct RALLY RED with standard interior and odometer shows 55k miles whick are believed to be original (listed as actual miles on title). Interior is in GOOD condition with minor general wear here and there. Seats are nice with normal wear and a seam split by the bottom cushion on the passenger side. Door panels NEW. Good steering wheel. Dash pad in good shape. Carpet should be replaced. Console is in good shape. Overall a fairly presentable driver quality interior! Under the hood the original MATCHING NUMBERS 327ci/300hp motor is still there, with a couple of bolt-on performance goodies such as HEI ignition, full headers, aluminum intake manifold and Edelbrock 4bbl. carburetor. Starts easily and sounds great. Transmission shifts good and crisp. NO noises from the rear end. Good stock power overall and brakes stop well. Nice and solid throughout. Steering is nice and nimble. Very fun to drive and you can hop in and drive it everyday with minor tlc! I've driven it mostly around my neighborhood, never on any long trips. Underside is actually in above average condition with good SOLID floorboards. GOOD frame rails from what I could see. Birdcage is nice and clean and windshield pillar posts are in good shape. Overall much better than your average rusted out and pieced together underside, with only some minor surface rust present. Being an old car, it is NOT perfect by any means. Paint shines up FAIRLY with GOOD luster for a PRESENTABLE driver (NOT a showcar of course). Various imperfections in the fiberglass, including a couple of minor stress cracks, chips, scratches, couple of small dings etc. Missing: radio, chrome trip for wiper compartment cover, jack, a/c parts under the hood. Not working: headlights (work but slow coming up), speedometer, wiper cover stays up (wipers themselves work great), couple of console gauges not accurate. Carburetor should be rebuilt or adjusted properly as the car is cold natured. That's about all I was able to notice from my inspection. I am sure there are other tiny details i've forgotten so please keep that in mind, this is NOT a brand new car obviously. OVERALL IT'S A GREAT LOOKING CRUISER THAT WITH VERY LITTLE TLC CAN EASILY BE TURNED INTO A DAILY DRIVER THAT YOU CAN TAKE ANYWHERE. HOP IN AND DRIVE IT WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND ENJOY THE WEATHER AND FINISH TINKERING WITH IT AS YOU SEE FIT. VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF LOW 55K MILE 1968 CORVETTE COUPE WITH MATCHING NUMBERS 327CI/350HP MOTOR IN RALLY RED. DON'T MISS OUT, THESE CARS DON'T COME ACROSS EVERY DAY!.
