THE ONLY ENGINES AVAILABLE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WERE THE; 327/350, THE 427/390 HP & THE 427/400 - THE 327 ENGINE WAS IN 33% OF ALL CARS! That quote from the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette brochure said it very well. Five years earlier the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette would establish the Corvette name as a design tour de force. The 1968 would reinforce that reputation with an all new body style. The new design would become a classic. Corvettes for the next forty years - including the C4, C5 and C6 generations - would follow the same basic lines and be recognizable as a relative of the 1968 trend setter. "Corvette '68... All different all over". That's the quote from the sales brochure for the redesigned 1968 Corvette. The body was completely redesigned with the coupe losing it's fastback window but gaining a removable back window and removable t-tops for that almost convertible feel. The chassis itself did not change much from the 1967 model. The new hidden wipers and hidden headlights are vacuum operated instead of electrical. Door openers now use a push button to open and a push in handle to pull the door, this was only used on the 1968 model. The new auxiliary top for the convertible has a glass rear window. The new standard automatic was the 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic instead of the 2-speed Power Glide used previously. A new fiber-optic monitoring system was added to the dash and "Astro-Ventilation" was added to improve the airflow in the cabin. The '68 Vette did not have the "Sting Ray" badging on it anywhere, it would return in '69 as "Stingray". 1968 was also the year that Zora Arkus-Duntov was named Chief Engineer of the Corvette. 63,952 miles. Color from the owner. April 15, 2008. |
