General description :
1968 Chevrolet Corvette This is a rare and desirable, frame-off restored, Hampton Blue, 427ci/435hp V-8 and tri-power equipped Corvette roadster. No expense has been spared since being finished under 5,000 miles ago. It has been fully documented and all receipts will go with the car upon sale. Under the hood of this incredible car is a date code correct, numbers matching 427ci/435 horsepower V-8 Holley tri-power equipped engine with snowflake intake manifold and ignition shielding. The power plant is mated to the original 4-speed close ratio transmission, Posi-traction rear-end with 3.70 gears and a heavy-duty suspension and sway bar. The car originally came with side-pipes, but they were replaced with a custom, stainless steel dual exhaust. Everything works just as it should with everything restored or replaced to original quality and beyond. Outside, the stunning, show-quality Hampton Blue paint shimmers in the sunlight, and gets noticeably darker on overcast days. It has an impeccable fiberglass body with great lines and panel fit, perfect chrome bumpers and the original big block 427 hood. It is topped off with a white convertible top sitting on factory rally wheels and like-new BF Goodrich radials. The undercarriage is spotless with a beautifully repainted frame and looks as you would expect of a frame-off restored car. The interior is flawless and looks factory new after being completely refurbished. It has a great looking dash with a full set of refurbished gauges and original AM push-button radio. This car has been in a high-end collection and only driven routinely to keep the car fresh and in good running order. This exceptional example of a 1968 427ci, tri-powered roadster is being offered at NOW REDUCED DOWN TO $76,900.00! This car is being represented for a collector in the Seattle, Washington area.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
