1968 is the first year for the very popular C3 Corvette 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.
We have a very origina and very rare 1968 Chevrolet Corvette here at Adventure Classics that has the very collectable, original numbers matching 427 cubic inch engine rated at 435 horsepower with its Tri-Power carbs, black interior, and a 4-speed transmission.
Engine & Drivetrain
The numbers matching 427 cubic inch engine rated at 435 horsepower (engine numbers T0711IR...IR is the 427-435 iron head engine) with its Tri-Power carbs rests under the hood. Look at the pics and you will see the engine stamp of S426063 which match the VIN #194378S426063 of this Corvette.
This great original engine looks to have retain most all of its original parts including the Tri-Power carbs with the original fuel lines and linkages,intake #3919852 (435 horse intake only), triangular chrome air cleaner and valve covers, Power Steering and brakes, 7-blade fan, H.D. radiator, braided fuel lines, tower hose clamps, and more, correct 427-435 decal, and all sitting in what looks like an untouched original engine compartment too.
It has a great sounding dual exhaust system and a 4-speed transmission, this Corvette steers and stops like a sports car should. 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
Our Corvette has an original looking standard black twin bucket seat interior, with the matching black carpet, center console, and dash with its factory tach and gauges. It has the factory chrome 4-speed shifter in that center console. Black is present throughout including the door panels, headliner, and in the storage area and boxes behind the seats.
The original Delco radio resides in the console with the Fiber Optic lights above and you will notice the factory wood steering wheel too.
Exterior
The exterior is painted #984 Safari Yellow which also matches the Trim Tag to show it is the original color it was born with. That shade of yellow is really pleasant and looks good with the chrome accents, bumpers, and Chevrolet Rallye Wheels with thin white wall tires that provide a classic and clean look.
The curves on C3 Corvettes are famously loved and the working flip up headlights add to the sports car appeal as well as the dual chrome exhaust tips exiting the rear that look and sound great.
