Classic Car Overview
For 1968 the Corvette sported a completely redesigned body and interior. The results were a sleek, curvaceous body that was an instant hit. Typical for Corvette, the aggressive body work covered the potent engine underneath. The thundering power-plant of this 1968 Corvette Convertible is the legendary L71 427 cubic-inch big block with the ultra-rare L89 option that added aluminum cylinder heads. Only 624 L89 Corvettes were ever produced making this one of the most sought after C3s’ made. Mated to the close-ratio 4-speed manual and posi-traction rear axle this Corvette is all about performance. It's hard not to stare at the striking Lemans Blue paint or equally stunning bright blue interior – all in exceptional condition. A rare soft-top-delete roadster, the Corvette Convertible is equipped with a removeable auxiliary hard top. This is one of those cars you must see in person to fully appreciate. From top to bottom, this Corvette coupe has every detail carefully worked out and performs just as good as it looks. The chassis, suspension, braking, and drivetrain systems have all passed an intensive and thorough inspection by one of our trained restoration specialists, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy driving this powerful and beautiful car. A plethora of historical documents will be included with the car including the original Tank Sticker, original Protect-O-Plate Warranty Booklet, original Owner’s Manual, original Retail Instalment Contract, copy of the original Car Invoice as well as a multitude of ownership and service records! Here is your chance to own a piece of big-block Corvette history that is ready for show or go. As any C3 collector will tell you – documentation is paramount when looking to buy any car purporting to be a 427 from factory. Don’t let this documented factory L89 Corvette pass you by!
