This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was customized with fixed and recessed headlamps, a cowl hood, a molded front air dam, and body-color side-exhaust covers under prior ownership before being repainted in red. Power is provided by a replacement 327ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes a black soft top, black upholstery, a cassette radio, and aftermarket 15″ alloy wheels as well as an aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and an HEI distributor. The seller purchased the car in 2020, and work in 2022 included replacement of the dash pad, carpets, and door panels. This C3 convertible is now offered at no reserve with an owner’s manual, recent service records, and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.
The car was delivered from the factory in black and was refinished in red under prior ownership following modifications including fixed rectangular headlamps, a molded front air dam, a cowl hood, and side exhaust pipes with body-color covers. Additional details include a black convertible soft top, chrome bumpers, side vents, and quad taillights. Paint chips and scratches are pictured in the gallery along with paint checking on the passenger door and scuff marks where the top seal meets the rear body panel.
Aftermarket 15″ alloy wheels mounted with 235/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted discs at each corner.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, and the seller states that the color-coordinated dash pad, door panels, and carpets have been replaced under current ownership. Amenities include a center console, an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette radio, and lap belts.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while instrumentation found in the center stack includes an analog clock along with displays for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci V8 is equipped with an aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and an HEI distributor as well as a chrome air cleaner lid and valve covers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
