The all-new Sting Ray (now two words in the early years) hit the market in 1968 and totally transformed America's sports car for decades to come. You can still see echoes of this 1968 Corvette in today's design, but this 1968 Corvette L89 is in a league of its own that's not easy to mimic. This 427 L71 L89 Corvette has only 52,075 believed actual miles, and may be the most desirable Corvette on the market today.
The important stuff is all here: an ultra-rare drivetrain, great colors, and an NCRS-verified pedigree. Silverstone Silver was the second most popular color in 1968, and the way this finish looks over the beefy 427 hood, the beefy aggressive wide stance, and the pronounced ducktail spoiler is something to truly behold. With miles that low and a pedigree so special, this 'Vette obviously spent a good chunk of its life in storage, but it still looks great today. There are a few very minor swirls and light scratches in the finish, but with a professional buff-and-polish, it could easily be knocking on the "show-quality" door again. For now, we'll categorize it as very high-driver quality presentation, that way the experts that come crawling out of the woodwork will know what to expect. The bodywork doesn't need any attention, and that's what's great about fiberglass: it doesn't rust. So, the slick paint does most of the talking, and over the straight panels and tight gaps, the high-gloss finish simply glows in the sunlight. Chrome trim was part of the C3 package and the shiny bits like the bumpers, 427 badges and Corvette emblems are all in wonderful shape, and the side pipe exhaust is a perfect complement to the Wide Body set-up that was added at some point in its life on this beauty. Bottom line, this is the ultimate chrome bumper Corvette.
The interior is just as dialed-in as well, starting with the beautiful, factory-optioned leather bucket seats that are every bit as comfortable as they look. And yes, those GM shoulder harness seatbelts are further proof of this Corvette's racing past. Crisp door panels and plush carpets give it that highly-polished showroom look and the woodgrained steering wheel adds just a touch of warmth to the otherwise all black driver's compartment. Desirable options include power windows and the original radio that's remarkably still in place, and it's also worth noting that the fiber-optic headlight monitors are fully functional. 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 show only slight wear, likely from someone holding on for dear life while the monster under the hood ate up the race track. 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 Corvette is equipped with a 427 big block, Tri-Power and aluminum heads, a very rare factory option rated at 435HP. Street-friendly with great throttle response and bottomless reserves of torque, this is why you buy a 427 in the first place. The engine bay is perfectly dressed with a correct triangular air cleaner and chrome valve covers over a Chevy Orange engine block. It's believed to only have 52,075 miles on the clock, so it runs superbly, particularly with those tuned carbs and responsive distributor. Of course it also comes equipped with a Muncie 4-speed manual gearbox and as long as you're looking around under there, please note that the side-pipe exhaust system is in great shape, and that the sparkling undercarriage is almost clean enough to eat off of. This amazing specimen rolls on correct Rally wheels with Cooper Cobra G/T radials all around.
Documented with a factory buildsheet/tank sticker that has been NCRS-verified and backs up the claims that this is indeed an L89 car, this is an insanely rare Corvette that would easily be the coup-de-gras of any collection. 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!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. 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.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
