Description

If there were an automotive recipe for freedom, more likely than not, a manual transmission, convertible top, and a classic sporty look would all be on that list. That's why this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is so captivating. Add to that, this is the inaugural year for the iconic C3 generation, and this fully repainted British Green 'Vette, complete with its black vinyl top and undeniably eye-catching 18-inch American Racing wheels, and you have an incredibly collectible car.

Inside, we find a stock and mostly original black vinyl interior. A full-length center console separates a pair of recovered bucket seats. A three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel shows off a Crossed Flags center cap as it stands ahead of a vast 160 mph speedometer and 7,000 rpm tach, while a five-pod set of auxiliary gauges sits at the top of the center stack. Dial-based HVAC controls keep things simple, while the aftermarket cueball shift knob adds just a touch of contrast to keep things interesting.

Under that signature front-hinged hood, we find a 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel Holley Performance carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and lightweight aluminum heads, this small block eliminates spent gases through a set of long-tube headers and true dual exhaust. Power is routed through a hardcore Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission before heading out to the 3.36:1 geared Positraction rear end that transfers those ponies to the pavement via those aforementioned polished Torq Thrust II wheels, shod in P225/50R-18 Goodyear Eagle L/S tires.

This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible rides on an independent suspension that utilizes unequal-length A-arms, coils, and shocks up front, while a transverse leaf spring setup is employed in the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes sit at all four corners, ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. Add it all up and this stellar C3 offers power and performance in a wind-in-your-hair drop-top configuration, complete with the ability to row your own gears and hold onto that lower gear just a little beyond what is necessary just for the fun of it. Right then and there, you'll start to realize what true freedom feels like. But don't wait, call today!
