1968 Corvette Convertible with Hardtop. Mild Custom
35,915 Original Miles! Original paint code is 986 Silvertone Silver- Standard Trim
35 years in a heated garage! This is a Friends car that he bought in 1984 and has been indoors until now.
283c.i.d. from a 1959 Corvette its :60 over Crane heads--Crane Roller Rockers--Comp Cam. Aluminum Intake- Dual point Dist. A mild build motor for the street with maybe a mile on it! With gas and a battery car will run motor is free with no known issues. Power Steering--Power 4 wheel disk brakes. Good frame and bird cage, still has the original convertible top with good frame. 3 speed Turbo Auto Trans. Tilt wheel from a early 70s Vette. Its also a true air car he has the original compressor as well. (nothing is hooked up)
This car was stripped to bare glass and painted in 1979 -- Porsche Guards Red and the Ecklers Z-L1 fender flairs were added then...not a hack job!!! They are straight and strong-you pick the car up while holding the flairs! He also has the original 68 doors that go with the car, the doors on the car are from a 69 he liked the handles better. This is true 70s custom Vette that needs little work to drive I would repaint the car only being the lacquer paint is showing its age. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS! If you need additional info or photos please let me know.
LIST OF ALL EXTRA ITEMS that go with the car:
2 -1968 doors
1 - later 73 full hood

So all that being said its a true time capsule. sitting in his garage since 1984-32 years plus 3 years in the body shop prior to that.
