At first sight, this House of Colors Candy Apple Red over the Orion Silver base custom paint job, which was applied by the famed K&S Paint crew here in Houston, just blows you away! If the 14 coats of clear and 7 additional coats of hand rubbed 'clear clear' are too much for you, then just stop now. This 1968 Corvette underwent an extensive 'frame on' restoration back in 2008, which is when everything was added. From the nasty sounding 427 C. I. D. , to the new convertible top, the complete wiring harness, the double layer of heat/sound proofing insulation, shaved door handles with electronic poppers, etc. , it is clear there was very little expense spared on this build & it certainly shows in this finished product! The after market 427 build is topped with a Holley 750cfm carb, runs through the Muncie M-22 4-speed manual and a Centerforce II 'Street/Strip' clutch assembly, is cooled with an auto-on dual electric fan system & a BeCool aluminum radiator set up. The exhaust is handled through the Hooker 'Super Comp' headers that have been coated with a 'Jet Hot' coating & exits through the Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow exhaust system....

This isn't just your average 'Little Red ('68) Corvette' - it's been treated to a potent 383 CID Stroker V8, so you'll find a little extra giddyup when you snap that throttle open. The fully balanced 383 features Dart II Sportsman heads, a Comp Cams hydraulic roller bumpstick, roller rockers, Edelbrock aluminum intake, a big 4BBL carb, MSD-enhanced ignition, and coated Hooker headers. Behind the 383 is a 4-speed manual transmission, which really adds to the fun. The red paint is in good shape, as is the black interior, which has been improved, albeit subtly: a new, vintage-style AM/FM head unit (with USB Aux) was installed to provide better sound than its '68 unit could ever put out. A set of custom front kick panels hide upgraded Infinity speakers, and behind the seats, a pair of tuned speaker enclosures play host to Infinity tri-axial speakers. A big Kicker amp boosts the decibels through all 4 speakers. The black synthetic leather seats...

This one marks the first year of the C3 Corvette and what an iconic design it proved to be! This one is equipped with the original 327 CID 300hp V8 engine the car came with and the desirable 4-speed manual transmission with posi and 3:36 gears. It has 87,273 miles since it was new which equated to about 1800 miles per year! Talk about low miles. It is finished in 976 blue exterior and 414 blue interior. It is believed to be a numbers matching car with an engine and transmission rebuilt done 2500 miles ago. No body work or damage has been done to the car which suggests that it has been very well cared for. The car is equipped with AC, AM/FM radio, convertible top, power brakes power steering, power windows, seat belts, vinyl...

Between the big block power and the iconic C3 lines, this car is sure to get attention wherever it goes!

Under the hood of this beauty is Big Block Tripower V8, which displaces nearly 432 CID (454 block de-stroked with 427 rods to 431. 62 CU IN). This engine was known for its massive power and low-end torque. Sending the power to the rear wheels is a four-speed Muncie manual transmission that shifts correctly through the gears. This powertrain combo runs very well and provides plenty of power for a spirited drive.

Upon entering this classic Vette, the driver will be greeted by a tobacco brown colored vinyl interior that is in relatively good condition. In the summer time, the driver will appreciate the removable T-tops that allow for plenty of fresh air and sunshine. If it's too hot for that, the driver will appreciate the equipped A/C. Overall, the interior of this sweet ride is in pretty good condition with only a few imperfections.

The exterior of this sweet ride is finished in classic Corvette bronze paint that shows well and has a...

This is the first year for the very popular C3 platform that ran through 1982. Some of the most iconic Corvettes of all time are C3s. The 427 cars, the 1978 Pace Car and Silver Anniversary and more. Mechanical the numbers matching 327 300 hp CID V8 engine rests under the hood with an HEI ignition and a great sounding dual exhaust system. The transmission is a stout Turbo 400 automatic shifted from the center console. Power steering and power disc brakes help this Vette steer and stop like a sports car should. Power windows are a nice feature and they also work well. These Corvettes are smooth riding and put the power to the ground with an inverse leaf spring independent rear suspension. The 68 model has vacuum operated flip up headlights and a vacuum operated windshield wiper cowl. Interior A nice custom touch, the Corvette emblem has been added to the backs of the seats in this convertible. A black soft top can be put up in place of the removeable hard top, or drop the top and cruise with the windows down. A new radio powers a set of speakers in a box behind the seats for a...
