BODY OVERVIEW: The body on this ’68 Corvette presents in nice original condition. Seasoned Corvette owners will be pleased to learn that it appears to have its original bonding strips in place. The body appears to be free of major imperfections, and shows well! The lines are sharp, and the curves still command attention. It’s a solid driver, and if you know anything about Corvettes, you know it’s all about the stance and attitude—and this one’s got both!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Repainted in its factory original Rally Red, the paint shines like a gem in the sun, bringing out every inch of this Corvette's beautiful design! While the paint isn’t fresh, it has held up well and still delivers an eye-catching brilliance, even at close range. There are minor imperfections here and there (as highlighted in the photos), but nothing that takes away from its overall curb appeal. Coupled with the tasteful chrome wheels, you’ll be turning heads at every stoplight for sure!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Step inside, and you’ll find the classic black interior—nothing overly fancy, but pure Corvette style. The original seats have been swapped for low-back bucket seats, providing a bit of a retro touch. It’s "driver quality," meaning it's comfortable for your weekend cruise but not a Concours-level showpiece. Though the interior is not perfect, overall it’s clean and ready for action!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood is the numbers-matching 327ci V8 that gives this Corvette its growl! Mated to a TH400 3-speed automatic, it drives just as you'd expect from a car that was built to dominate the roads. This Corvette fires up easily, and the transmission shifts smoothly. Frankly, though it doesn’t appear to have seen a full restoration at any point, this car is a pleasure to drive! The sidepipe exhaust adds that unmistakable rumble, and with power steering, it's surprisingly easy to handle. Both the pop-up headlights and wiper door have been upgraded with electric conversions, ensuring they work smoothly every time–and that you don’t have to wait 2 or 3 minutes for your headlights to activate!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The electric headlight door conversion is always a show stopper! Plus, with its numbers-matching 327 engine, it maintains its authenticity, giving you a piece of 1968 in a form that’s ready for the road. The sidepipes? Pure attitude. And who can resist Rally Red?
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you’re looking for a freshly restored, show-ready car, the driver quality interior and minor paint imperfections may not be for you. Also, the low-back bucket seats and chrome wheels are a departure from stock, so originality seekers might have some reservations.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? This Corvette is turn-key and ready for the streets! With fresh tires and all working components, it’s good to go! Of course, you could always refresh the paint or interior if you want to bring it closer to show quality, but as it stands, it's perfect for regular outings to the local cruise-in or car show.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Corvette is perfect for the enthusiast who wants a driver-quality car that they can enjoy right now. If you love the idea of hitting the streets in a classic, numbers-matching 327 V8 Corvette with modern upgrades where it counts, this is your ride! It’s the kind of car that strikes a balance between show car looks and everyday fun—just waiting for someone to get behind the wheel and unleash it!
