1968 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale In Houston

The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette (L36) marks the birth of the third generation, known as the C3, a turning point in the Corvette's lineage. That year, Chevrolet introduced a completely redesigned body, reimagined interior, and new roof options. Coupes gained removable T-top roof panels and a removable rear window, allowing for a semi-open air experience. The front styling adopted a longer, more pointed nose, with vacuum-operated hideaway headlights and flush door handles with push-button releases. Behind the front wheels are functional louvers, and a new ventilation system dubbed 'Astro-Ventilation' was added. Before you is a bronze 1968 Corvette that carries those C3 hallmarks boldly.

What made the L89 special is that it added the competition heads from the all-aluminum L88 427, along with an aluminum intake topped by three 2-barrel carbs on the base L71 427 CID V8.

Only 624 of the 1968 Corvette production were equipped with the rare factory aluminum head L89 RPO code option, so the likelihood you can nab a real one will be along the lines of finding a pin in a stack of needles. Consequently, going with a well done tribute is a popular route: you get the performance of the original, yet you don't have to worry about potentially damaging an original. This sleek Corvette absolutely embodies the spirit of the 1960s with its bold design and powerful performance capabilities. Under the hood lies the legendary 427 CID V8 engine, with its 'tri deuce' carburetors and aluminum intake and heads, this bad boy promises an exhilarating driving experience. The big 427 sends all that power out back via its Muncie 4-Speed manual transmission to the 3. 70:1 Posi-equipped rear end. If you aren't...
