This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible offers the best of everything. It has a fantastic red appearance, gives the full control of a stick shift, and has received all the right investments to keep it a head-turner. And it's all ready to run today at a fantastic price.

Red Corvettes are so iconic that they write songs about them. This car truly knows how to inspire a tune. That's because this one was given a re-spray later in life, and the modern clear coat knows how to catch the sunlight. And that's exactly what you want in a sunshine-friendly convertible classic. Plus, there will always be desire for a drop top like this, because 1968 was the first year for this generation. And the early C3 cars are the ones to own because of all the great bright work. That means nicely integrated chrome bumpers, bright trim, and iconic Rally wheels.

Black is always terrific against the red in high-performance machines. So this one is a looker no matter if the folding roof is in place or you have it open to the world. In fact, you can really tell there has been recent investments in the soft top and whole interior to retain a deep, dark appearance. The rich darkness of the panels and carpeting allow the silver accents to pop on everything from three-spoke steering wheel, to the stick shift that's calling out for your right hand. There's even an upgrade to an AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner to make sure you have the best road trip tunes. So this is the ideal vehicle to let the top down and enjoy the back roads.

The 327 cubic-inch V8 looks fantastic in the engine bay. They recently invested in freshening up the appearance, and so it looks crisp throughout – including the bright air topper, ribbed valve covers, bold block, and fresh wires & hoses. But more than just look great, there's extra power lurking in the V8 thanks to upgrades such as the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer intake. Plus, the stainless headers add even more power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual exhaust. And you have complete control over this enhanced V8 and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Just as it was true in '68, this Corvette can still live up to its reputation as America's sports car with components like a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.

This first-year C3 Corvette convertible is everything you like about a bold red classic, and its affordable price will keep you in the black. Call today!!!
