This 1968 Corvette T-Top Coupe is an original "Corvette Bronze" car with a Black interior. This car was originally equipped with a 327/350 Horsepower Small Block Engine, 4 Speed Transmission and a 3.36 Posi-traction Rear-End. This car is currently a "roller" with No Engine and No transmission. The rear-end is the original dated 3.36 rear-end. Factory options on this car include Factory Air Conditioning, Telescopic Steering Wheel, Power Steering, 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, Power Windows, Headrest Seats, F41 Suspension, Posi-traction Rear-End, Simulated Wood Steering Wheel and more!

This car has been parked in dry storage not running or driving since 1979. The car was modified in the 1970's with an incredibly nice set of L88 wheel flares at all 4 corners. The workmanship and installation of the wheel flares is excellent. Accenting the wheel flares is a set of four (4) period made 15 x 10 inch American Racing aluminum wheels. This car appears to have never been wrecked with the only work on the car being the modifications you see. All the quarter panels, fender panels, doors, tail panel and front surround are all original to the car. The original Corvette Bronze paint is visible in many places on the car under the black paint. An "Eckler's Corvette" headlight kit was installed on this car to move the headlights to the grill area. This kit included 2 fiberglass plates that were bonded into the original headlight openings from the underside. These panels can be removed to open the headlight openings. INCLUDED with this car is a very rare and desirable set (Right & Left) of ORIGINAL LeMans Aluminum Racing Headlights with the plexi-glass covers. Remove the headlights from the grill area, install the LeMans headlights and the car appears like the cars raced back in the late 60's and 1970's. The L88 hood on the car is a NEW reproduction hood from American Custom Industries (ACI). This is a $700.00 hood new. The original and expensive wiper door is on the car, complete and in NICE condition. The doors are original to the car and are in EXCELLENT condition. The power window mechanisms are completer in each door. Look at the pictures and look at all the body gaps on this car. The body gaps are EXCELLENT for a Corvette. The rear quarter panels are nice along with the original rear tail panel and rear exhaust valence. The rear exhaust valence is the original panel with the 1968 unique rear back up lights. The front chrome bumper on the car is excellent. The front bumper trim that goes from the bumper down to lower front valence is included with the car along with the lower valence parking light chrome trim. The center grill is with the car. The parking light grills are missing. The original T-Tops are on the car along with nice T-top insert trim under the tops. All the glass in the car is original including the windshield and is in good condition. All the original electrical wiring has been removed from the car and is included with the car including the front wiring harness, dash main wiring harness and rear harness. If you are looking for a Flared C3 Corvette with a GREAT Body you will like this car!

Under the hood the car still has the original radiator support that is perfect with no rust or damage. The original radiator and fan shroud is complete. The wiper motor, air conditioning box, power brake booster, vacuum canister, brakes lines, and more is all complete. The inner fenders are excellent. The car has the complete front suspension with brakes. The driveshaft is complete with the car along the some of the original clutch mechanism. The original date coded AM code (3.36 Posi-Traction) is still in the car. ALL the suspension is complete in the rear of the car. The car still has the original gas tank and spare tire carrier. The 1970's exhaust is still on the car and that includes the "Thrush" mufflers. The frame on the car is EXCELLENT with no rust at all! There is certainly some light surface rusting from sitting however the frame is itself is nice and solid. The front windshield frame at the base of the windshield is PERFECT! The fiberglass floorboards are superb with no damage and not even a mark on any of them. The rear storage wells are excellent and not cracked or broken.

The interior of the car is very complete with much of the 1968 ONLY and UNIQUE parts. This includes the original Telescopic Steering Column. NICE original dash pad. NICE original 1968 only passenger side dash cover. The speedometer and tachometer are original. The dash center gauge bezel is the original 1968 ONLY smooth finish gauge bezel with original gauges and is NOT BROKEN at the top area where they are always broken. The 1968 only shifter plate is excellent and the 1968 unique heater/air conditioner control is correct. The original rear 1968 unique center armrest console is in nice condition. The door panels are also EARLY 1968 production door panels which are correct for this car. The original simulated wood steering is complete along with the original horn button. The rear 1968 unique rear interior light trim panels are complete.
