This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 427 hits all the high notes: a powerful 427 big block that's been built for battle, a quick-shifting 4-speed that can handle all those horses, and a very attractive price tag. While the early 'Vettes get most of the attention, chrome bumpers like this '68 are really gaining a foothold in the Corvette market - with a timeless 'Coke Bottle' design and gorgeous good looks that excite fans from every generation.
Repainted back in its original shade of code 976 Lemans Blue, this 1968 coupe makes quite entrance everywhere it goes. There are few cars that will attract more attention than a C3 with big block badges on the hood, especially when it's a bright blue L88-style hood that can scare children away. 1968 was the first year of the brand new Zora Duntov-designed C3, which was engineered to improve the aerodynamics of the C2 (which Zora himself decried as having "the aerodynamics of a bad airplane") via its 'Coke Bottle' shape and upward arched fenders that all work together to create one of the most dynamic cars ever made in America. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the panels are very straight, with good prep over well-preserved original fiberglass that has no signs of past damage or abuse. Thanks to that conscientious preservation and great prep work, the blue paint laid down very nicely when it was applied last year, and although it's not a perfect showroom finish, it looks fresh, bright and shiny, and definitely impresses just about everyone that passes by. Gaps are about par for the course on a C3, although these ornate hoods were always a bit inconsistent, and almost everyone prefers the chrome bumpers found on the early C3 models. And if it's everyone's attention that you're seeking, nothing works better on a Corvette than chrome side pipes, and these shiny, wide beauties really do the trick. 1968 Corvettes were the only chrome bumper Vette's that got push-button door locks, and now that you've read that sentence, you can quickly discern between the years. And while you're on that conversation point while someone is gawking at this slick car, be sure to take off those awesome T-Tops and really finish off a great impression. '427' badges on the hood previews the organized violence underneath, and purists will note that despite the 'Stingray' badges on the fenders of this particular car, 1968 was actually a gap year for the popular nickname - with the 'Sting Ray' moniker applied 1963 thru 1967 and 'Stingray' applied 1969 thru 1976, until it was re-introduced again on the C7.
The interior is just as dialed-in as the exterior, starting with the beautiful, factory-optioned Blue Vinyl bucket seats that were faithfully reupholstered and are every bit as comfortable as they look. Crisp, blue door panels, a matching crack-free dash, and fresh plush carpets give it that highly polished showroom look and the black-wrapped steering wheel, dash and console accents, and Hurst T-handle shifter add just a touch of contrast to the otherwise all-blue driver's compartment. Like a lot of these big block muscle cars, options are sparse, but you do get seatbelts, a center console, and the original Delco AM radio that's remarkably still in place. Clear gauges show crisp markings and bright needles, both ahead of the driver and in the center stack, and the middle console and dash pad are matching blue and show only slight wear, likely from someone holding on for dear life while the monster under the hood ate up laps at the racetrack. T-tops give even the coupes an enjoyable open-air experience and with tight weather-stripping throughout, the car seals up well and doesn't rattle like many 'Vettes do.
This C3 will also eat lesser machines on the road for breakfast, thanks to the powerful 427 V8 big block under the hood. Although this car was born with a 427/390 HP L36 from the factory, the current 427 under the hood is not the car's original numbers-matching unit, but few will complain once they feel the sheer power of the monster that's in there now. With stout horsepower, it's the smart choice for the guy who likes to drive his Corvette, and it's also very reliable - virtually indestructible with continued regular maintenance - and also features a wide torque band makes it the ideal powerplant for long-distance cruising. Beautifully presented with Chevy Orange paint on the block, chrome valve covers with Driskell Racing Engines decals at the flanks, and a chrome air cleaner up top, and it really runs great with the help of a big 4-barrel carburetor atop an Edelbrock RPM intake, long-tube headers, and an aluminum radiator up front that keeps the whole show nice and cool. The afore mentioned side-pipe exhaust gives it a thumping rumble, not to mention an indistinguishably killer look, and the undercarriage has been neatly dusted with satin black paint for a clean presentation. Modest street-friendly gears (decodes to a 3:55:1 heavy-duty rear with PosiTrac) combine with the big block's mountainous torque curve to make acceleration entertaining at any speed and clutch take-up on the 4-speed manual is smooth and progressive, making it very easy to drive. Factory turbine-style wheels give the 'Vette a traditional performance look and they're wrapped in beefy Cooper Cobra white-letter radials with plenty of tread left.
Offered with loads of build receipts and maintenance records, the original tank sticker, and the original dealer invoice/order copy, this true big block C3 has the provenance to satisfy the purists, and the performance parts to satiate any car lover. Priced right and ready to rock, this baby won't last long. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
