Car history: |
For sale is my 1968 Corvette convertible. I've owned and driven this car on summer weekends for the last 5 years. I've only put around 5K on it since I've owned it. It has a date correct 327/300 with a 4 speed manual transmission. Motor is rebuilt with a 327/350 cam, 2.02 heads (double hump) with ram horn stock chevy exhaust manifolds, Edelbrock performer manifold, Edelbrock 625 cfm carb, and an HEI electronic ignition. Full exhaust was also replaced when I first bought it. Transmission has been rebuilt with a new clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. There is around 10k-15k on rebuild. Car was a southern car before being brought to New York about 15 years ago. I bought it from my friend 5 years ago and frame is solid without rust.. It has an older restoration on it. Car is an original Corvette Bronze exterior (paint code #992) and Dark Orange Vinyl interior (trim code #425) car. Paint is still really nice but it does have a chip here and there (very few), and there is an imperfection below the surface the paint on two spots on the tops of the fenders. Paint looks great from 5 feet, and was wet sanded and polished so it has no orange peel. The car sits perfectly, unlike some of the others on Ebay that sit way too high in the rear. Bumpers are re-chromed originals and are in very good shape. Interior is new. Interior seat covers, door panels, door sills, and full carpet and storage doors are new. This was done by Barton's interiors in Long Island when I first bought it. Also, the black convertible top is brand new from Barton's. I'm over 6 feet tall and I've only put the top up twice in 5 years (I do leave the top closed during the winter in my garage), that's how new it is. Car has new 15 x 8 Corvette rally wheels with new 245 x 60 x 15 BFG Radial T/A's, and new trim rings. Center caps are still Chevy originals. Brakes, calipers, rotors, and flexible brake lines are new. It has a custom auto sounds stereo/cassette, remote 5 disc cd player mounted in the passenger side storage box behind the seat, and rear mounted custom auto sounds box speakers mounted to the back of the storage compartment. This was all brought from Eckler's. Headlights, headlight doors, and signals all work. For the money this is a great weekend driver that still turns heads.
I'm listing the car for lower than what I think it's worth because a few things need to be fixed. First, the wiper's have been disconnected because the wiper door does not work properly. Also, the manual steering box does need to be rebuilt. The bearing and seal is bad and must be replaced (car has a wheel shimmy from 45-50 mph). I was going to put in power steering, but I never got the time. You will also need to replace the fan switch and and some of the fiber optics in the console do not work. I am listing my car because I have to finish two other projects I have been working on and need the money as well as garage space (1965 K-code Mustang, and a 1969 R/T 440 Charger).
Please e-mail me with any questions or comments. I want to be as honest as I can be and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Price: US $14,500.00 |
